Bioinformatics workflow tools | RNA sequencing data analysis

Assists users in manipulating high-throughput sequencing (HTS) data and formats. Picard is a Java toolkit that provides a set of command line scripts. It comprises Java-based utilities that manipulate SAM files, and a Java API for creating new programs that reads and writes SAM files. Both SAM text format and SAM binary (BAM) format are supported. It also works with next generation sequencing (NGS).

Offers an intuitive user interface and built-in workflows for a variety of genomic applications that guide researchers though every step of the analysis process. Partek Genomics Suite gives biologists, bioinformaticists, and statisticians a single, integrated solution for trustworthy results with a user-friendly interface, comprehensive workflows, and ability to support all next generation sequencing, microarray, and qPCR platforms.

Identifies differentially expressed genes from count data or previously normalized count data. NOISeq empirically models the noise distribution of count changes by contrasting fold-change differences (M) and absolute expression differences (D) for all the features in samples within the same condition. This reference distribution is then used to assess whether the M-D values computed between two conditions for a given gene are likely to be part of the noise or represent a true differential expression.

Provides analysis, management and visualization tools for next-generation sequencing (NGS) data. Strand NGS supports extensive workflows for alignment, RNA-seq, small RNA-seq, DNA-seq, Methyl-seq, MeDIP-seq and ChIP-seq experiments. This tool includes standard differential expression analysis for different experimental conditions, as well as differential splicing analysis. It can notice variants in the transcriptome and gene fusion events.

A comprehensive and user-friendly system for computational analysis of bacterial RNA-seq data. As input, Rockhopper takes RNA sequencing reads output by high-throughput sequencing technology (FASTQ, QSEQ, FASTA, SAM, or BAM files). Rockhopper supports the following tasks: reference based transcript assembly; de novo transcript assembly; normalizing data from different experiments; quantifying transcript abundance; testing for differential gene expression; characterizing operon structures; visualizing results in a genome browser.

Provides the premier enterprise solution for data content, framework and graphical user interface for omic and next-generation sequencing data analysis. Array Suite (Array Studio and Array Server) differs from standard desktop solutions or open source solutions, with Array Studio providing the graphical user interface for NGS and omic analysis and visualization and Array Server providing the enterprise back-end solution for project management, sample management and data storage.

An easy-to-use application for microarray, RNA-Seq and metabolomics analysis. For splicing sensitive platforms (RNA-Seq or Affymetrix Exon, Gene and Junction arrays), AltAnalyze will assess alternative exon (known and novel) expression along protein isoforms, domain composition and microRNA targeting. In addition to splicing-sensitive platforms, AltAnalyze provides comprehensive methods for the analysis of other data (RMA summarization, batch-effect removal, QC, statistics, annotation, clustering, network creation, lineage characterization, alternative exon visualization, gene-set enrichment and more).
