ENCODE encodeproject.org The Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) is a public research project which aims to identify functional elements in the human and mouse genomes.
Ensembl ensembl.org The Ensembl project started in 1999 with the goal to automatically annotate the human genome, integrate this annotation with other available biological data, and make all this publicly available via the web. Since then, many more genomes have been added to Ensembl and the range of available data has expanded to include comparative genomics, variation and regulatory data.
FastQC bioinformatics.babraham.ac.uk/projects/fastqc FastQC aims to provide a simple way to do some quality control checks on raw sequence data coming from high throughput sequencing pipelines. It provides a modular set of analyses which you can use to give a quick impression of whether your data has any problems of which you should be aware before doing any further analysis.

The strict redundancy criteria render OWL relatively “small” and hence efficient in similarity searches.
Perl perl.org Perl 5 is a highly capable, feature-rich programming language with over 30 years of development.
Python python.org Python is a programming language that lets you work quickly and integrate systems more effectively.
