ARG-Needle

ARG-Needle is an algorithm to reconstruct the genealogical history (ancestral recombination graph, ARG) of large collections of sequenced or genotyped genomes. ARG-Needle-lib is a library that can be used to perform genealogy-wide association and other analyses. This package also implements the ASMC-clust ARG reconstruction algorithm described in the manuscript.

EpiNN

EpiNN uses a classification algorithm (convolutional neural network) trained with publicly available epigenetic data to recognize genomic regions likely to play a role in the adaptive and innate immune system.

FastSMC

FastSMC is a method to quickly and accurately estimate pairwise identical-by-descent (IBD) regions in the genome. FastSMC estimates the age of IBD segments and scales to large biobank datasets.

ASMC

The Ascertained Sequentially Markovian Coalescent is a method to efficiently estimate pairwise coalescence times along the genome. It can be run using SNP array or whole-genome sequencing (WGS) data.

DoRIS

[note: this software is outdated, see HapNe for a more recent tool] DoRIS is a tool for reconstructing fine-scale demographic events that occurred in the very recent past (e.g. ~100 generations) of one or multiple populations.
