This project, initially developed at University College London, contains programs to perform rigid, affine and non-linear registration of nifti or analyse images. Two versions of the algorithms are included, a CPU- and a GPU- (using CUDA) based implementation.

The SourceForge OpenRasMol project is an adjunct to the RasMol and OpenrasMol project at http://rasmol.org. It is hoped that the SourceForge OpenRasMol project will provide a convenient focal point for active collaborative contributions.

CBFLIB is a library of ANSI-C functions providing a simple mechanism for accessing Crystallographic Binary Files (CBF files) and Image-supporting CIF (imgCIF) files. The CBFLIB API is loosely based on the CIFPARSE API for mmCIF files.

Fast and efficient 3D pharmacophore search developed by the Camacho Lab (http://smoothdock.ccbb.pitt.edu) at the University of Pittsburgh. Source code is available through the svn repository.

BioImageXD - free open source software for analysis, processing and 3D rendering of multi dimensional, multi data channel, time series image data from microscopy and other sources.

RasTop is a molecular graphics program intended for the visualisation of proteins, nucleic acids and small molecules based on the popular Rasmol software. The program is aimed at the rapid visualization and analysis of molecules.

PROVEAN (Protein Variation Effect Analyzer) is a software tool which predicts whether an amino acid substitution or indel has an impact on the biological function of a protein. The prediction is based on the change, caused by a variation, in the similarity of query sequence to closely related sequences collected through BLAST.

The Sashimi project hosts the Trans-Proteomic Pipeline (TPP), a mature suite of tools for mass-spec (MS, MS/MS) based proteomics: statistical validation, quantitation, visualization, and converters from raw MS data to the open mzML/mzXML formats.

An open source framework for LC-MS based proteomics and metabolomics. OpenMS offers data structures and algorithms for the processing of mass spectrometry data. The library is written in C++. Our source code and wiki lives on GitHub (https://github.com/OpenMS/OpenMS).

AMOS is a collection of tools and class interfaces for the assembly of DNA reads. The package includes a robust infrastructure, modular assembly pipelines, and tools for overlapping, consensus generation, contigging, and assembly manipulation.

A fully developed set of DNA sequence assembly (Gap4 and Gap5), editing and analysis tools (Spin) for Unix, Linux, MacOSX and MS Windows.

QuteMol is a real time, high quality molecular visualizer that offers an array of innovative visual effects. QuteMol aims at improving the clarity of rendered images and at offering a better understanding of the molecular 3D shape and spatial structure.

Bioinformatics pipeline for discovery of genetic variants from NGS reads.

CaspLab - Comet Assay Software Project Lab is a cross-platform image analysis software to measure level of DNA damage in SCGE (Single Cell Gel Electrophoresis) method called also comet assay method.

ProteoWizard development moved to GitHub in 2018. The ProteoWizard Library is a set of software libraries and tools for rapid development of proteomics data analysis software. The libraries are cross-platform and built from the ground up using modern C++ techniques.

Critterding is a "Petri dish" universe in 3D that demonstrates evolving artificial life. Critters start out with completely random brains and bodies, but will automatically start evolving into something with much better survival skills.

HeatmapGenerator is a graphical user interface software program written in C++, R, and OpenGL to create customized gene expression heatmaps from RNA-seq and microarray data in medical research. HeatmapGenerator can also be used to make heatmaps in a variety of other non-medical fields. HeatmapGenerator is peer-reviewed published software (http://www.scfbm.org/content/9/1/30).
