pyGenClean is an informatics tool to facilitate and standardize the genetic data clean up pipeline with genotyping array data. In conjuction with a source batch-queuing system, the tool minimizes data manipulation errors, it accelerates the completion of the data clean up process and it provides informative graphics and metrics to guide decision making for statistical analysis.
FASTAFS is a user-friendly and easy to deploy backwards compatible generic purpose solution to store and access compressed FASTA files, since it offers file system access to FASTA files as well as in-sync metadata files through file virtualisation.

SFF Workbench (Standard flowgram format , SFF Tools) is an easy to use SFF file viewer, editor and converter. It is the first and only SFF editor with graphic interface on the entire bioinformatics market! With this tool we wanted to help the biologists to concentrate on their work instead of wasting time poking commands in an obscure text console.
The Roche/454 platform produces sequence reads in SFF format. SFF file contains the flow grams and quality scores for each read in addition to other information.
