http://alchemy.sourceforge.net/

ALCHEMY is a genotype calling algorithm for Affymetrix and Illumina products which is not based on clustering methods. Features include explicit handling of reduced heterozygosity due to inbreeding and accurate results with small sample sizes. ALCHEMY is a method for automated calling of diploid genotypes from raw intensity data produced by various high-throughput multiplexed SNP genotyping methods. It has been developed for and tested on Affymetrix GeneChip Arrays, Illumina GoldenGate, and Illumina Infinium based assays. Primary motivations for ALCHEMY''s development was the lack of available genotype calling methods which can perform well in the absence of heterozygous samples (due to panels of inbred lines being genotyped) or provide accurate calls with small sample batches. ALCHEMY differs from other genotype calling methods in that genotype inference is based on a parametric Bayesian model of the raw intensity data rather than a generalized clustering approach and the model incorporates population genetic principles such as Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium adjusted for inbreeding levels. ALCHEMY can simultaneously estimate individual sample inbreeding coefficients from the data and use them to improve statistical inference of diploid genotypes at individual SNPs. The main documentation for ALCHEMY is maintained on the sourceforge-hosted MediaWiki system. Features * Population genetic model based SNP genotype calling * Simultaneous estimation of per-sample inbreeding coefficients, allele frequencies, and genotypes * Bayesian model provides posterior probabilities of genotype correctness as quality measures * Growing number of scripts and supporting programs for validation of genotypes against control data and output reformating needs * Multithreaded program for parallel execution on multi-CPU/core systems * Non-clustering based methods can handle small sample sets for empirical optimization of sample preparation techniques and accurate calling of SNPs missing genotype classes ALCHEMY is written in C and developed on the GNU/Linux platform. It should compile on any current GNU/Linux distribution with the development packages for the GNU Scientific Library (gsl) and other development packages for standard system libraries. It may also compile and run on Mac OS X if gsl is installed.

http://bamview.sourceforge.net/

A free interactive display of read alignments in BAM data files that can be launched with Java Web Start or downloaded. This interactive Java application for visualizing the large amounts of data stored for sequence reads which are aligned against a reference genome sequence can be used in a number of contexts including SNP calling and structural annotation. It has been integrated into Artemis so that the reads can be viewed in the context of the nucleotide sequence and genomic features. The source code is available as part of the Artemis code which can be downloaded from GitHub.

http://noble.gs.washington.edu/proj/genomedata/

A format for efficient storage of multiple tracks of numeric data anchored to a genome. The format allows fast random access to hundreds of gigabytes of data, while retaining a small disk space footprint. They have also developed utilities to load data into this format. Retrieving data from this format is more than 2900 times faster than a naive approach using wiggle files. A reference implementation in Python and C components is available here under the GNU General Public License. The software has only been tested on Linux and Mac systems.

http://identifiers.org/

A system providing resolvable persistent Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs) used to identify data for the scientific community, with a current focus on the Life Sciences domain. The provision of resolvable identifiers (URLs) fits well with the Semantic Web vision, and the Linked Data initiative. It provides direct access to the identified data using one chosen physical location (or resource). If more than one physical locations providing the data are recorded in the Registry, then you can access them via the top banner or by using a profile.
