Software

its_a_scam aligned genomic regions by cell type

its_a_scam
its_a_scam - It's a scam To Sell Another Single Cell Analysis Method: modular tools for processing and per-cell quality control of single cell genomic data, built on the gcat C++ library and described in Prabakar & Meyer, bioRxiv (2026). It works with common open-source tools to generate scRNA-seq and scATAC-seq count matrices and computes quality metrics directly from alignment files. Documentation is available at its-a-scam.readthedocs.io.

BATMAN
BATMAN - Bayesian Inference of Activation of TCR by Mutant Antigens: python package for predicting TCR activation by mutant peptides based on their distances to the TCR's index peptide, described in Banerjee et al., Cell Systems (2025). BATMAN can be used for within-TCR and cross-TCR predictions and in active learning mode to design TCR activation assays.

copepodTCR

copepodTCR
copepodTCR - COmbinatorial PEptide POoling Design for TCR specificity: python package and webtool for the design of combinatorial peptide pooling schemes for TCR specificity assays, described in Kovaleva et al., bioRxiv (2025). CopepodTCR guides the user through all stages of the experimental design and interpretation, including pooling schemes, peptide mixing layouts and results evaluation.

codePUB
Python tool to generate balanced constant-weight Gray codes for detecting consecutive positive items in the efficient construction of combinatorial pooling schemes, described in He, Kovaleva et al., Bioinformatics (2025).

PhenotypeSimulator

PhenotypeSimulator
R/CRAN framework for simulating genotype to phenotype relationships, described in Meyer & Birney, Bioinformatics (2018). It can model multiple traits with multiple underlying genetic loci as well as complex covariate and observational noise structure. This package has been designed to work with many common genetic tools both for input and output.

plinkQC

plinkQC
R/CRAN package for common genotype quality control steps, described in Syed et al., Bioinformatics (2026). It provides an easily applicable workflow from per-individual and per-marker quality control to the generation of the new, quality-controlled dataset. The outcomes of each quality control step are summarised in a quality control report.

LiMMBo

LiMMBo
Python module for computationally efficient joint genetic analysis of high-dimensional phenotypes, using linear mixed models with bootstrapping, described in Meyer et al., bioRxiv (2018).
