The following open source projects have either been designed by or had significant input into their design and implementation from Melbourne Bioinformatics experts. (See here for archived projects.)
Bionitio. A template for command line bioinformatics tools in various programming languages. The purpose of the tool is to provide an easy-to-understand working example that is built on best-practice software engineering principles. It can be used as a basis for learning and as a solid foundation for starting new projects. github.com/bionitio-team/bionitio. Published in Gigascience, 2019: academic.oup.com/gigascience/article/8/9/giz109/5572530
Bpipe. A bioinformatics pipeline. github.com/ssadedin/bpipe. Published in Bioinformatics, 2012: bioinformatics.oxfordjournals.org/content/early/2012/04/11/bioinformatics.bts167.abstract. Collaboration with Murdoch Children’s Research Institute.
Degust. A web tool to help analyse, visualise and fully appreciate Differential Gene Expression data from RNA-seq experiments. drpowell.github.io/degust. Collaboration with VBC, Monash University.
Dovex. A web based tool to quickly provide an interactive overview and enable quick exploration of datasets. github.com/supernifty/dovex
Gurita. A command line tool for analysing and visualising tabular data in CSV or TSV format. bjpop.github.io/gurita
Janis. A framework for creating specialised, simple workflow definitions that are then transpiled to Common Workflow Language or Workflow Definition Language. janis.readthedocs.io. Developed as part of the Portable Pipelines Project, a collaboration with Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre and WEHI.
