libopenimageio: 2.1.20.02021-12-04: libmagickcore7.q16.9-shlibs-7.0.11.13-1 (ImageMagick core library (q16))
ImageMagick is a robust collection of tools and libraries to read,
write, and manipulate an image in many image formats (over 68 major formats)
including popular formats like TIFF, JPEG, PNG, PDF, PhotoCD, and GIF.
With ImageMagick you can create images dynamically, making it
suitable for Web applications. You can also resize, rotate, sharpen,
color reduce, or add special effects to an image and save your
completed work in the same or a different image format.
The "imagemagick" package installs the standard quantum-depth=16 suite.

Babel provides access to the majority of the CLDR data. It simplifies
internationalization by doing the heavy lifting for you. It can format

dealing with timezones and gives you access to the raw data (like
month and timezone names, how formatting works for different languages
and more).

mothur: 1.56.12021-12-03: bedtools-2.30.0-1 (Utilities for comparing genomic features)
The BEDTools utilities allow one to address common genomics tasks such as
finding feature overlaps and computing coverage. The utilities are largely
based on four widely-used file formats: BED, GFF/GTF, VCF, and SAM/BAM.
Using BEDTools, one can develop sophisticated pipelines that answer
complicated research questions by "streaming" several BEDTools together.
The following are examples of common questions that one can address with
BEDTools.
Intersecting two BED files in search of overlapping features.
Culling/refining/computing coverage for BAM alignments based on genome
features.
Merging overlapping features.
Screening for paired-end (PE) overlaps between PE sequences and
existing genomic features.
Calculating the depth and breadth of sequence coverage across defined
"windows" in a genome.
Screening for overlaps between "split" alignments and genomic features.

babel-py: 2.9.12021-12-03: breseq-0.36.1-1 (Mutation finder in microbe evolution)
breseq is a computational pipeline for finding mutations relative to a
reference sequence in short-read DNA re-sequencing data intended for
haploid microbial genomes (<20 Mb). breseq is a command line tool
implemented in C++ and R.
It reports single-nucleotide mutations, point insertions and deletions,
large deletions, and new junctions supported by mosaic reads (such as
those produced by new mobile element insertions) in an annotated HTML
format.

MAFFT is a multiple sequence alignment program for unix-like operating
systems. It offers a range of multiple alignment methods, L-INS-i
(accurate; for alignment of <~200 sequences), FFT-NS-2 (fast; for
alignment of <~10,000 sequences), etc.

Eigen 3 is a C++ template library for linear algebra (vectors, matrices, and
related algorithms). It is:
* Versatile. Eigen handles both fixed-size and dynamic-size matrices and
vectors, without code duplication, and in a completely integrated way. It
aims to provide not only vectors and matrices but also many algorithms.
* Fast. Expression templates remove temporaries and enable lazy evaluation.
Explicit vectorization is performed for the SSE (2 and later) and AltiVec
instruction sets, with graceful fallback to non-vectorized code. With
fixed-size objects, dynamic memory allocation is avoided, and the loops
are unrolled when that makes sense. For large matrices, special attention
is paid to cache-friendliness. This Benchmark shows Eigen's outstanding
performance.
* Good API. Expression templates allow for a very clean and expressive API.
Implementing an algorithm on top of Eigen feels like just copying
pseudocode.

babel-py: 2.9.12021-12-03: bcftools-1.14-1 (Tools for VCF/BCF files)
BCFtools is a set of utilities that manipulate variant calls in the
Variant Call Format (VCF) and its binary counterpart BCF. All commands
work transparently with both VCFs and BCFs, both uncompressed and
BGZF-compressed.
Most commands accept VCF, bgzipped VCF and BCF with filetype detected
automatically even when streaming from a pipe. Indexed VCF and BCF will
work in all situations. Un-indexed VCF and BCF and streams will work in
most, but not all situations. In general, whenever multiple VCFs are
read simultaneously, they must be indexed and therefore also compressed.
BCFtools is designed to work on a stream. It regards an input file "-"
as the standard input (stdin) and outputs to the standard output
(stdout). Several commands can thus be combined with Unix pipes.
