Open Source Linux Algorithms

An open source workbench for chemo- and bioinformatics built on the Eclipse Rich Client Platform (RCP).

ChIPOTle 2.0 is a user friendly tool for performing peak detection in ChIP-chip signal. The tool also has functions for probe sorting, signal normalization, replication merging, and multiple correction testing in a windows interface or *nix command line.

FORce based Cluster Editing (FORCE) is a Java software heuristically solving the graph cluster editing problem on weighted edges using BLAST E-values. It further provides a training mode for heuristic parameter estimation.

ISAD is a peak detection software that detects individual (pre-)synaptic activity in microscopy images from neuronal cultures transfected with pHluorin. It computes synaptic signals from automatically segmented regions of interest and detects peaks that represent vesicle fusion events, thus, pre-synaptic activity. ISAD is based on MWA, which is a continuous wavelet transform based algorithm that employs multiple wavelets and is published as: Sokoll, S., Tönnies, K., and Heine, M. Detection of Spontaneous Vesicle Release at Individual Synapses Using Multiple Wavelets in a CWT-Based Algorithm. Med Image Comput Comput Assist Interv (MICCAI). 2012;15(Pt 1):165-72 ISAD is written in MATLAB and comes with a graphical user interface.

Contains various algorithms that maps short reads produced from Illumina (Solexa) Genome Analyzer, or Applied Biosystems' SOLiD System, to a reference sequence or a set of reference sequences.

MDA is a 3D single-particle tracking software that explicitly addresses fluorescence microscopy experiments deep in living specimens. It is capable of minimizing the systematic error that occurs with astigmatism-based 3D techniques owing to the aberrations induced by the refractive index mismatch. In contrast to existing techniques, the method determines the aberration directly from the acquired 2D image stream by exploiting the inherent particle movement and the redundancy introduced by the astigmatism. It does not require additional experimental effort for the user and imaging can directly be started once interesting regions in the sample have been identified. MDA is written in MATLAB and comes with a graphical user interface. The particle fitting routine is provided by an external library written in C. The results can be exported into the Matlab Workspace or the trackID, frameID and xyz coordinates are saved into files.

GLARE is a library and a software for product based optimization of reagent lists in the context of a chemical combinatorial library design. Large virtual combinatorial libraries containing 10^12 products have been optimized within a second.
