  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • gatk4-genome-processing-pipeline-azure

    Workflows used for processing whole genome sequence data + germline variant calling.

  • trinityrnaseq

    Trinity RNA-Seq de novo transcriptome assembly

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • juicer

    A One-Click System for Analyzing Loop-Resolution Hi-C Experiments (by aidenlab)

  • seqkit

    A cross-platform and ultrafast toolkit for FASTA/Q file manipulation

  • Seqkit - thoroughly maintained with extensive tutorials and benchmarking info - https://github.com/shenwei356/seqkit

  • spades

    SPAdes Genome Assembler

  • sage

    Proteomics search & quantification so fast that it feels like magic (by lazear)

  • You could check out https://github.com/lazear/sage - it's a near comprehensive program/pipeline for analyzing DDA/shotgun proteomics data. Most proteomics pipelines consist of running multiple, separate tools in sequence (search, spectrum rescoring, retention time prediction, quantification), but sage performs all of these. This cuts down on the need for disk space for storing intermediate results (none required), the need for IO (files are read once), and results in a proteomics pipeline that is >10-1000x faster than anything else, including commercial solutions

  • rnaseq

    RNA sequencing analysis pipeline using STAR, RSEM, HISAT2 or Salmon with gene/isoform counts and extensive quality control.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
