Open-source software

Software we have
written and maintained.

Reusable packages and command-line tools for accessing, analysing and comparing complex biological data.

Command line · Python API

3dtk — the 3D’omics ToolKit

Find, summarise, export and download records from the 3D’omics data catalogue. 3dtk works from the command line or Python, needs no credentials or server, and verifies its published catalogue before use.

Install

pip install 3dtk Then run 3dtk, or import py3dtk in Python.

Command line · Python API

EHItk — the Earth Hologenome Initiative ToolKit

Query, summarise, export and download EHI specimens, hologenomes and metagenome-assembled genomes. EHItk includes a versioned SQLite catalogue for reproducible command-line and Python workflows.

Install

pip install ehitk Then run ehitk --help, or import ehitk in Python.

R package

hilldiv3 — Hill-number diversity in R

Measure and compare biological communities through one framework for neutral, phylogenetic and functional Hill diversity, including partitioning, dissimilarity, profiles, evenness and redundancy.

Install

devtools::install_github("alberdilab/hilldiv3") Load the package with library(hilldiv3).

Reproducible research
