Filter reads by quality scores, length, and N content using Trimmomatic and fastp. Apply sliding window trimming, remove low-quality bases from read ends, and discard reads below thresholds. Use when reads have poor quality tails or require minimum quality for downstream analysis.

Align DNA short reads to reference genomes using bwa-mem2, the faster successor to BWA-MEM. Use when aligning DNA short reads to a reference genome.

Align DNA short reads to reference genomes using bwa-mem2, the faster successor to BWA-MEM. Use when aligning DNA short reads to a reference genome.

Align short reads using Bowtie2 with local or end-to-end modes. Supports gapped alignment. Use when aligning ChIP-seq, ATAC-seq, or when flexible alignment modes are needed.

Reads, writes, and converts molecular file formats (SMILES, SDF, MOL2, PDB) using RDKit and Open Babel. Handles structure parsing, canonicalization, and full standardization pipeline including sanitization, normalization, and tautomer canonicalization. Use when loading chemical libraries, converting formats, or preparing molecules for analysis.

Bisulfite sequencing read alignment using Bismark with bowtie2/hisat2. Handles genome preparation and produces BAM files with methylation information. Use when aligning WGBS, RRBS, or other bisulfite-converted sequencing reads to a reference genome.

Quality control for long-read sequencing data using NanoPlot, NanoStat, and chopper. Generate QC reports, filter reads by length and quality, and visualize read characteristics. Use when assessing ONT or PacBio run quality or filtering reads before assembly or alignment.

Bisulfite sequencing read alignment using Bismark with bowtie2/hisat2. Handles genome preparation and produces BAM files with methylation information. Use when aligning WGBS, RRBS, or other bisulfite-converted sequencing reads to a reference genome.

Call SNPs and indels from aligned reads using bcftools mpileup and call. Use when detecting variants from BAM files or generating VCF from alignments.

Align long reads using minimap2 for Oxford Nanopore and PacBio data. Supports various presets for different read types and applications. Use when aligning ONT or PacBio reads to a reference genome for variant calling, SV detection, or coverage analysis.

Reads, queries, and writes bigWig indexed binary signal tracks (coverage, fold-change, conservation, methylation-rate) with pyBigWig (Python) and the UCSC Kent tools (bedGraphToBigWig, bigWigToBedGraph, bigWigInfo, bigWigSummary, bigWigAverageOverBed) and deepTools (multiBigwigSummary, computeMatrix, bigwigCompare). Covers the central trap that a wide query returns a precomputed zoom-level summary
