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

A user-friendly software pipeline designed to map short reads in a MapReduce framework on a local Hadoop cluster. It is designed to be easily implemented by researchers who do not have expert knowledge of bioinformatics. As it does not have any dependencies, it provides full flexibility and control to the user. The user can use any version of a compatible mapper and any reference genome assembly. There is no need to maintain the mapper, reference or DistMap source code on each of the slaves (nodes) in the Hadoop cluster, making maintenance extremely easy.

http://www.well.ox.ac.uk/project-stampy

A software package for the mapping of short reads from illumina sequencing machines onto a reference genome. It''s recommended for most workflows, including those for genomic resequencing, RNA-Seq and Chip-seq. Stampy excels in the mapping of reads containing that contain sequence variation relative to the reference, in particular for those containing insertions or deletions. It can map reads from a highly divergent species to a reference genome for instance. Stampy achieves high sensitivity and speed by using a fast hashing algorithm and a detailed statistical model. Stampy has the following features: * Maps single, paired-end and mate pair Illumina reads to a reference genome * Fast: about 20 Gbase per hour in hybrid mode (using BWA) * Low memory footprint: 2.7 Gb shared memory for a 3Gbase genome * High sensitivity for indels and divergent reads, up to 10-15% * Low mapping bias for reads with SNPs * Well calibrated mapping quality scores * Input: Fastq and Fasta; gzipped or plain * Output: SAM, Maq''s map file * Optionally calculates per-base alignment posteriors * Optionally processes part of the input * Handles reads of up to 4500 bases

http://snap.cs.berkeley.edu/

A sequence aligner software program that is 10-100x faster and simultaneously more accurate than existing tools like BWA, Bowtie2 and SOAP2. It runs on commodity x86 processors, and supports a rich error model that lets it cheaply match reads with more differences from the reference than other tools. This gives SNAP up to 2x lower error rates than existing tools and lets it match larger mutations that they may miss. SNAP also natively reads BAM, FASTQ, or gzipped FASTQ, and natively writes SAM or BAM, with built-in sorting, duplicate marking, and BAM indexing.

https://code.google.com/p/pepr-chip-seq/

A ChIP-Seq peak calling or differential binding analysis tool that is primarily designed for data with biological replicates. It uses a negative binomial distribution to model the read counts among the samples in the same group, and look for consistent differences between ChIP and control group or two ChIP groups run under different conditions.

http://www.psb.ugent.be/cbd/papers/BiNGO/Home.html

The Biological Networks Gene Ontology tool (BiNGO) is an open-source Java tool to determine which Gene Ontology (GO) terms are significantly overrepresented in a set of genes. BiNGO can be used either on a list of genes, pasted as text, or interactively on subgraphs of biological networks visualized in Cytoscape. BiNGO maps the predominant functional themes of the tested gene set on the GO hierarchy, and takes advantage of Cytoscape''''s versatile visualization environment to produce an intuitive and customizable visual representation of the results. Platform: Windows compatible, Mac OS X compatible, Linux compatible, Unix compatible

https://bioconductor.org/packages/IRanges/

Software tool for computing and annotating genomic ranges.Provides efficient low-level and highly reusable S4 classes for storing ranges of integers, RLE vectors (Run-Length Encoding), and, more generally, data that can be organized sequentially (formally defined as Vector objects), as well as views on these Vector objects. Efficient list-like classes are also provided for storing big collections of instances of the basic classes. All classes in the package use consistent naming and share the same rich and consistent Vector API as much as possible.
