http://neuro.debian.net/

Collection based on a collaborative effort of popular neuroscience research software for the Debian operating system as well as Ubuntu and other derivatives. Popular packages include AFNI, FSL, PyMVPA and many others. It contains both unofficial or prospective packages which are not (yet) available from the main Debian archive, as well as backported or simply rebuilt packages also available elsewhere. A listing of current and planned projects is available if you want to get involved. The main goal of the project is to provide a versatile and convenient environment for neuroscientific research that is based on open-source software. To this end, the project offers a package repository that complements the main Debian (and Ubuntu) archive. NeuroDebian is not yet another Linux distribution, but rather an effort inside the Debian project itself. Software packages are fully integrated into the Debian system and from there will eventually migrate into Ubuntu as well. With NeuroDebian, installing and updating neuroscience software is no different from any other part of the operating system. Maintaining a research software environment becomes as easy as installing an editor. There is also virtual machine to test NeuroDebian on Windows or Mac OS. If you want to see your software packaged for Debian, please drop them a note.

http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/devel/bioc/html/DMRforPairs.html

Software for identifying differentially methylated regions between unique samples using array based methylation profiles. It allows researchers to compare n greater than or equal to 2 unique samples with regard to their methylation profile. The (pairwise) comparison of n unique single samples distinguishesit from other existing pipelines as these often compare groups of samples in either single CpG locus or region based analysis. DMRforPairs defines regions of interest as genomic ranges with sufficient probes located in close proximity to each other. Probes in one region are optionally annotated to the same functional class(es). Differential methylation is evaluated by comparing the methylation values within each region between individual samples and (if the difference is sufficiently large), testing this difference formally for statistical significance.

http://denverlab.science.oregonstate.edu/tileqc/

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on May,10, 2021.Software providing a visually oriented tile based approach to error detection for Solexa next-gen sequencing data. It is written in R and has both qualitative and quantitative error detection features. This software was written with the idea that the researcher's visual pattern recognition is the best way to detect novel errors and contains variety of ways to visualize that data. Once a new type of error is identified the data extraction features of the program may then be used as a starting point for the programmatic detection and/or filtration of similar errors. A supplementary role of tileQC is to convert the Eland and Q-score data contained within the Solexa "*_prb.txt" and "*_eland_results.txt" text files to a more flexible database form. Once in database form, tileQC simplifies the mechanics of interacting with that data and supplements standard SQL with an expression subsitution mechanism that allows R to be easily comingled with SQL. This system requires access to a mySQL server and the R package RMySQL as well as a few standard UNIX tools (also available on Windows and Macintosh).

http://med.stanford.edu/tanglab/software/saber.html

Software program suitable for genome-scale data which uses a Markov-hidden Markov model (MHMM) to estimate local ancestry. The MHMM makes it possible to identify genomic blocks of a particular ancestry by use of any high-density single-nucleotide-polymorphism panel. One application is to perform admixture mapping without genotyping special ancestry-informative-marker panels.

http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/SamSPECTRAL.html

Software that identifies cell population in flow cytometry data. It demonstrates significant advantages in proper identification of populations with non-elliptical shapes, low density populations close to dense ones, minor subpopulations of a major population and rare populations. It samples large data such that spectral clustering is possible while preserving density information in edge weights. More specifically, given a matrix of coordinates as input, SamSPECTRAL first builds the communities to sample the data points. Then, it builds a graph and after weighting the edges by conductance computation, the graph is passed to a classic spectral clustering algorithm to find the spectral clusters. The last stage of SamSPECTRAL is to combine the spectral clusters. The resulting connected components estimate biological cell populations in the data sample.

http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/pathview.html

A tool set for pathway-based data integration and visualization. It maps and renders a wide variety of biological data on relevant pathway graphs. All users need is to supply their data and specify the target pathway. Pathview automatically downloads the pathway graph data, parses the data file, maps user data to the pathway, and render pathway graph with the mapped data. In addition, Pathview also seamlessly integrates with pathway and gene set (enrichment) analysis tools for large-scale and fully automated analysis.
