http://woldlab.caltech.edu/rnaseq

Software for Mapping and Quantifying Mammalian Transcriptomes by RNA-Seq. Its functions are to (i) assign reads that map uniquely in the genome to their site of origin and, for reads that match equally well to several sites (''multireads''), assign them to their most likely site(s) of origin; (ii) detect splice-crossing reads and assign them to their gene of origin; (iii) organize reads that cluster together, but do not map to an already known exon, into candidate exons or parts of exons; and (iv) calculate the prevalence of transcripts from each known or newly proposed RNA, based on normalized counts of unique reads, spliced reads and multireads. The new candidate RNA regions produced can be thought of as ESTs, and, like ESTs, some are provisionally appended to existing gene models if they meet several additional criteria. Remaining unassigned candidate transcribed regions (labeled RNAFAR features) can then be used in conjunction with other confirming data to develop new or revised gene models.

https://code.google.com/p/simrare/

A stand-alone executable software with user-friendly graphical interface implemented in Python/C++ for rare variant association studies. It is designed as a unified simulation framework to provide an unbiased and easy manner to evaluate association methods, including novel methods, under a broad range of choice of biological contexts. It consists of three modules, variant data simulator, genotype/phenotype generator and association method evaluator. SimRare generates variant data for gene regions using forward-time simulation which incorporates realistic population demographic and evolutionary scenarios. For phenotype data it is capable of generating both case-control and quantitative traits. The phenotypic effects of variants can be detrimental, protective or non-causal. SimRare has a graphical user interface which allows for easy entry of genetic and phenotypic parameters. Simulated data can be written into external files in a standard format. For novel association method implemented in R it can be imported into SimRare, which has been equipped built in functions to evaluate performance of new method and visually compare it with currently available ones in an unbiased manner.

https://github.com/ruping/Breakpointer

A fast tool for locating sequence breakpoints from the alignment of single end reads (SE) produced by next generation sequencing (NGS). It adopts a heuristic method in searching for local mapping signatures created by insertion/deletions (indels) or more complex structural variants(SVs). With current NGS single-end sequencing data, the output regions by Breakpoint mainly contain the approximate breakpoints of indels and a limited number of large SVs. Notably, Breakpointer can uncover breakpoints of insertions which are longer than the read length. Breakpointer also can find breakpoints of many variants located in repetitive regions. The regions can be used not only as a extra support for SV predictions by other tools (such as by split-read method), but also can serve as a database for searching variants which might be missed by other tools. Breakpointer is a command line tool that runs under linux system. Breakpointer takes advanage of two local mapping features of single-end reads as a consequence of indel/SVs: 1) non-uniform read distribution (depth skewness) and 2) misalignments at the boundaries of indel/SVs. These features are summarized as breakpoint signature. Breakpointer proceeds in three stages in capturing this signature. It is implemented in C++ and perl. Input is the file or files containing alignments of single-end reads against a reference genome (in .BAM format). Output is the predicted regions containing potential breakpoints of SVs (in .GFF format). To be able to read in .BAM files, Breakpointer requires bamtools API, which users should install beforehand.

http://www.genoscope.cns.fr/externe/gmorse/

Software aimed at using RNA-Seq short reads to build de novo gene models. First, candidate exons are built directly from the positions of the reads mapped on the genome (without any ab initio assembly of the reads), and all the possible splice junctions between those exons are tested against unmapped reads : the testing of junctions is directed by the information available in the RNA-Seq dataset rather than a priori knowledge about the genome. Exons can thus be chained into stranded gene models.

https://github.com/lh3/ropebwt2

A software tool for constructing the FM-index for a collection of DNA sequences. It works by incrementally inserting one or multiple sequences into an existing pseudo-BWT position by position, starting from the end of the sequences. This algorithm can be largely considered a mixture of BCR and dynamic FM-index. Nonetheless, ropeBWT2 is unique in that it may implicitly sort the input into reverse lexicographical order (RLO) or reverse-complement lexicographical order (RCLO) while building the index.
