MosaicSolver (Graham Wood, Eugene Ryabov, Jessica Fannon, Jonathan Moore, David Evans & Nigel Burroughs)
A Matlab implementation of the MosaicSolver sequential algorithm (Wood, Ryabov, Fannon, Moore, Evans and Burroughs, Nucleic Acids Research, 2014, doi:10.1093/nar/gku524). It determines the recombinants originating from two parent genomes, and their proportions, using next-generation sequencing pileup data.
Requirements: Matlab, with the Statistics and Optimization toolboxes

Error correction and diversity analysis of population mixtures determined by NGS (Graham Wood, Nigel Burroughs, David Evans and Eugene Ryabov)
Implementation, in both Excel and Matlab, of i) a method for correction of NGS error in a nucleotide distribution and ii) methods for testing and estimating diversity in the error-corrected data, including assessing whether a diversity estimate is consistent with a clonal population.
Requirements: Matlab or Microsoft Excel
Network Interference Analysis and Correction Software (Ying Wang, David A. Hodgson, Miriam L. Gifford & Nigel J. Burroughs)
An implementation of the method described in our paper "Correcting for link loss in causal network inference caused by regulator interference" submitted to Bioinformatics. This method defines causal networks corrected for the problem of interference between dynamically similar regulators within the context of a sparse linear auto-regression model. Test data is provided within the NIACS software package. Please see the file NIACS_Documentation.pdf contained within the package for details on how to run the software.
Requirements: The R programming language
Bayesian Hierarchical Clustering for R (Richard S Savage, Katherine Heller, Yang Xu, Zoubin Ghahramani, William M Truman, Murray Grant, Katherine J Denby and David L Wild)
An implementation of the algorithm described by Heller and Ghahramani (2005). This method clusters multinomial data using a greedy agglomorative algorithm based on a Dirichlet process (ie infinite mixture) model.
This work was funded by EPSRC
Requirements: The R programming language
Its in the form of an R package, which can be installed using the command R CMD INSTALL BHC_1.1.0.tar.gz. To use the BHC function you then need to explicitly load the library in your R session, using library(BHC) or require(BHC).
VBSSM GUI (Paul Brown & David Wild)
This is a graphical front end for the Variational Bayesian State Space Modelling toolbox for Matlab, by Matthew J Beal.
It can work in conjunction with the Parallel Computing Toolbox and Distributed Computing Server to enable modelling jobs to be offloaded to remote CPUs.
Requirements: Matlab R2008b or later, plus the VBSSM toolbox
Spectrum Resampling (Maria Costa, Paul Brown, Barbel Finkenstadt, Peter Gould, Julia Foreman, Karen Halliday, Anthony Hall & David Rand)
A period fitting algorithm with a graphical front end for Matlab, which imports periodic time series data from Microsoft Excel xls files.
This work was produced in collaboration with the Universities of Liverpool and Edinburgh, as part of the ROBuST project, funded by BBSRC and EPSRC under the SABR initiative.
Requirements: Matlab R2008b or later, plus Statistics and Signal Processing Toolboxes for the source code, no requirements for the standalone binaries.
