RhizoVision Explorer is free and open-source software for Windows developed for estimating root traits from images acquired from a flatbed scanner or camera. Root images are expected to have a high contrast of roots with the background, homogenous lighting, and minimal overlapping of roots. Reference
This tool was developed from a new bioinformatic approach, termed “LipoClean” to enhance the depth and confidence of lipid characterization, achieving an almost order of magnitude decrease in false discovery rates for compound identifications. Reference
Developed by Dana Carper. Interested is setting up your own diverse, identifiable synthetic community? Design of an Identifiable Synthetic Community of Microbes (DISCo-microbe) is an easy-to-use command-line program, for creation of diverse communities of organisms that can be distinguished through next-generation sequencing technology.

Developed by J. Chris Ellis. P Finder is the only available algorithm that is capable of not only identifying the RNase P RNA for annotation but also differentiating among the five different RNase P RNA structural types (A, B, C, M, and T) with the option to select these data types for display in the final output.
