http://iso2mesh.sourceforge.net/
A Matlab / Octave-based mesh generation toolbox designed for easy creation of high quality surface and tetrahedral meshes from 3D volumetric images. It contains a rich set of mesh processing scripts/programs, functioning independently or interfacing with external free meshing utilities. Iso2mesh toolbox can operate directly on 3D binary, segmented or gray-scale images, such as those from MRI or CT scans, making it particularly suitable for multi-modality medical imaging data analysis or multi-physics modeling.

http://niftilib.sourceforge.net
Niftilib is a set of i/o libraries for reading and writing files in the nifti-1 data format. nifti-1 is a binary file format for storing medical image data, e.g. magnetic resonance image (MRI) and functional MRI (fMRI) brain images. Niftilib currently has C, Java, MATLAB, and Python libraries; we plan to add some MATLAB/mex interfaces to the C library in the not too distant future. Niftilib has been developed by members of the NIFTI DFWG and volunteers in the neuroimaging community and serves as a reference implementation of the nifti-1 file format. In addition to being a reference implementation, we hope it is also a useful i/o library. Niftilib code is released into the public domain, developers are encouraged to incorporate niftilib code into their applications, and, to contribute changes and enhancements to niftilib. Please contact us if you would like to contribute additonal functionality to the i/o library.

A package that implements several semantic similarity measures. It is both a library and an end-user application, featuring an intuitive graphical user interface (GUI). It has been implemented with the aim of being fast, expandable, and easy to use. It allows the user to work with the most updated version of GO database and customizable annotation corpora. It provides a set of logically-organized classes that can be easily exploited to both integrate semantic similarity into different analysis pipelines and extend the library with new measures. Platform: Windows compatible, Mac OS X compatible, Linux compatible, Unix compatible

http://seqant.genetics.emory.edu/
A free web service and open source software package that performs rapid, automated annotation of DNA sequence variants (single base mutations, insertions, deletions) discovered with any sequencing platform. Variant sites are characterized with respect to their functional type (Silent, Replacement, 5' UTR, 3' UTR, Intronic, Intergenic), whether they have been previously submitted to dbSNP, and their evolutionary conservation. Annotated variants can be viewed directly on the web browser, downloaded in a tab delimited text file, or directly uploaded in a Browser Extended Data (BED) format to the UCSC genome browser. SeqAnt further identifies all loci harboring two or more coding sequence variants that help investigators identify potential compound heterozygous loci within exome sequencing experiments. In total, SeqAnt resolves a significant bottleneck by allowing an investigator to rapidly prioritize the functional analysis of those variants of interest.

Open source software tool that simulates experimental RNA-seq and DNA whole exome sequences derived from reference genome, aligns these sequences by custom parameters, detects variants and outputs blacklist of positions and alleles caused by mismapping. Used to characterize mappability of RNA-Seq reads and create blacklist of genomic positions of mismapped reads. This blacklist is used to filter potential false positives from variant or RNA editing calls.

https://compbio.dfci.harvard.edu/predictivenetworks//
A flexible, open-source, web-based application and data services framework that enables the integration, navigation, visualization and analysis of gene interaction networks. The primary goal of PN is to allow biomedical researchers to evaluate experimentally derived gene lists in the context of large-scale gene interaction networks. The PN analytical pipeline involves two key steps. The first is the collection of a comprehensive set of known gene interactions derived from a variety of publicly available sources. The second is to use these ''known'' interactions together with gene expression data to infer robust gene networks. The regression-based network inference algorithm creates a graph of gene interactions in which cycles may be present (but no self-loops). Based on information-theoretic techniques, a causal gene interaction network is inferred from both prior knowledge (interactions extracted from biomedical literature and structured biological databases) and gene expression data. A prediction model is fitted for each gene, given its parents, enabling assessment of the predictive ability of the network model.
