https://github.com/alyssafrazee/polyester

An R package designed to simulate RNA sequencing experiments with differential transcript expression. Given a set of annotated transcripts, it will simulate the steps of an RNA-seq experiment (fragmentation, reverse-complementing, and sequencing) and produce files containing simulated RNA-seq reads. Simulated reads can be analyzed using a choice of downstream analysis tools. Polyester has a built-in wrapper function to simulate a case/control experiment with differential transcript expression and biological replicates. Users are able to set the levels of differential expression at transcripts of their choosing. This means they know which transcripts are differentially expressed in the simulated dataset, so accuracy of statistical methods for differential expression detection can be analyzed. Polyester offers several unique features: * Built-in functionality to simulate differential expression at the transcript level * Ability to explicitly set differential expression signal strength * Simulation of small datasets, since large RNA-seq datasets can require lots of time and computing resources to analyze * Generation of raw RNA-seq reads, as opposed to alignments or transcript-level abundance estimates * Transparency/open-source code

https://simtk.org/home/simtkcore

SimTK Core is one of the two packages that together constitute SimTK, the biosimulation toolkit from the Simbios Center. The other major component of SimTK is OpenMM which is packaged separately. This SimTK Core project collects together all the binaries needed for the various SimTK Core subprojects. These include Simbody, Molmodel, Simmath (including Ipopt), Simmatrix, CPodes, SimTKcommon, and Lapack. See the individual projects for descriptions. SimTK brings together in a robust, convenient, open source form the collection of highly-specialized technologies necessary to building successful physics-based simulations of biological structures. These include: strict adherence to an important set of abstractions and guiding principles, robust, high-performance numerical methods, support for developing and sharing physics-based models, and careful software engineering. Accessible High Performance Computing We believe that a primary concern of simulation scientists is performance, that is, speed of computation. We seek to build valid, approximate models using classical physics in order to achieve reasonable run times for our computational studies, so that we can hope to learn something interesting before retirement. In the choice of SimTK technologies, we are focused on achieving the best possible performance on hardware that most researchers actually have. In today''s practice, that means commodity multiprocessors and small clusters. The difference in performance between the best methods and the do-it-yourself techniques most people use can be astoundingeasily an order of magnitude or more. The growing set of SimTK Core libraries seeks to provide the best implementation of the best-known methods for widely used computations such as: Linear algebra, numerical integration and Monte Carlo sampling, multibody (internal coordinate) dynamics, molecular force field evaluation, nonlinear root finding and optimization. All SimTK Core software is in the form of C++ APIs, is thread-safe, and quietly exploits multiple CPUs when they are present. The resulting pre-built binaries are available for download and immediate use. Audience: Biosimulation application programmers interested in including robust, high-performance physics-based simulation in their domain-specific applications.

http://www.ncigt.org/pages/Research_Projects/ImagingCoreToolbox/Imaging_Toolkit

This software provides algorithms for the reconstruction of raw MR data. In particular, it supports the reconstruction of accelerated data acquisitions where k-space is subsampled and the Fourier domain encoding is complemented by temporal encoding, spatial encoding, or and/or a constrained reconstruction. This library of functions provides a number of reconstruction algorithms that accurately employ advanced MR imaging methods including: UNFOLD; parallel imaging methods such as SENSE and GRAPPA; Homodyne processing of partial-Fourier data, and gradient field inhomogeneity correction (gradwarp); EPI Nyquist Ghost correction and ramp-sampling gridding. The target audience is research groups who may be interested in exploring or employing advanced MR reconstruction techniques, but don't have the necessary expertise in-house. Inquires may be directed to: ncigt-imaging-toolkit -at- bwh.harvard.edu

http://code.google.com/p/psom/

A lightweight software library to manage complex multi-stage data processing. A pipeline is a collection of jobs, i.e. Matlab or Octave codes with a well identified set of options that are using files for inputs and outputs. To use PSOM, the only requirement is to generate a description of a pipeline in the form of a simple Matlab / Octave structure. PSOM then automatically offers the following services: * Run jobs in parallel using multiple CPUs or within a distributed computing environment. * Generate log files and keep track of the pipeline execution. These logs are detailed enough to fully reproduce the analysis. * Handle job failures : successful completion of jobs is checked and failed jobs can be restarted. * Handle updates of the pipeline : change options or add jobs and let PSOM figure out what to reprocess !
