AB Summary Next-generation sequencing triggered the production of a massive volume of publicly available data and the development of new specialised tools. These tools are dispersed over different frameworks, making the management and analyses of the data a challenging task. Additionally, new targeted tools are needed, given the dynamics and specificities of the field. We present GTO, a comprehensive toolkit designed to unify pipelines in genomic and proteomic research, which combines specialised tools for analysis, simulation, compression, development, visualisation, and transformation of the data. This toolkit combines novel tools with a modular architecture, being an excellent platform for experimental scientists, as well as a useful resource for teaching bioinformatics inquiry to students in life sciences.Availability and implementation GTO is implemented in C language and it is available, under the MIT license, at http://bioinformatics.ua.pt/gto.Contact pratas{at}ua.ptSupplementary information Supplementary data are available at publisher’s Web site.
