Arboreto infers gene regulatory networks from bulk or single-cell RNA-seq data using scalable GRNBoost2 and GENIE3 algorithms, letting researchers filter transcription-factor targets, run distributed Dask jobs, and export ranked links for downstream analysis.

deepTools is a Python command-line suite for NGS workflows, converting BAM files into normalized coverage, running QC (fingerprint, correlation, PCA), comparing samples, and rendering heatmaps or profiles for ChIP-seq, RNA-seq, and ATAC-seq analyses.

Access the European Nucleotide Archive via REST/FTP to fetch DNA/RNA sequences, raw reads, assemblies, annotations, and taxonomy for research or bioinformatics pipelines.

PyDESeq2 brings the DESeq2 differential expression workflow to Python, letting users load bulk RNA-seq counts, specify design formulas, fit DESeq2 models, run Wald tests with FDR correction, optionally apply apeGLM shrinkage, and export gene-level statistics within pandas/AnnData pipelines.

Scanpy is a scalable Python toolkit for single-cell RNA-seq analyses, covering QC, normalization, dimensionality reduction, clustering, marker discovery, annotation, and publication-ready visualization across h5ad/10X/CSV datasets.

Provide a comprehensive toolkit for RNA velocity inference in single-cell RNA-seq data, modeling unspliced/spliced kinetics to infer differentiation directions, latent time, and driver genes while complementing Scanpy pipelines.

AnnData is a specialized Python package designed for managing and analyzing annotated matrices, particularly crucial in single-cell genomics and bioinformatics. It efficiently stores experimental measurements (X) alongside comprehensive metadata (obs, var, obsm, etc.). This skill allows users to read, write, subset, and concatenate large, complex datasets in formats like .h5ad and .zarr, making it essential for scRNA-seq analysis workflows and integration with the scverse ecosystem.

Arboreto is a powerful Python library designed to infer Gene Regulatory Networks (GRNs) from various gene expression datasets, including bulk and single-cell RNA-seq. It employs scalable algorithms like GRNBoost2 and GENIE3 to identify critical transcription factor-target gene relationships. Featuring support for Dask distributed computing, Arboreto is optimized for large-scale, high-throughput transcriptomic analysis.

Biopython is a robust, comprehensive toolkit for computational molecular biology written in Python. It enables users to manipulate biological sequences (DNA, RNA, protein), parse standard formats (FASTA, GenBank, PDB, etc.), and programmatically access major bioinformatics databases like NCBI via Entrez. This skill is ideal for developing complex bioinformatics pipelines, including sequence alignment, structural analysis, and phylogenetic tree construction.

DeepTools is a comprehensive command-line toolkit for processing and analyzing high-throughput sequencing data. It supports workflows for ChIP-seq, RNA-seq, ATAC-seq, and other NGS experiments. Core capabilities include converting BAM files to normalized coverage tracks (bigWig), performing quality control (QC), sample correlation analysis, and generating publication-quality visualizations, such as heatmaps and profile plots across genomic regions.

Latch is a robust Python framework designed for building, deploying, and managing complex, scalable bioinformatics workflows as serverless pipelines. It supports integrating multiple analysis tools (like Nextflow/Snakemake) and handles cloud data management (LatchFile/LatchDir) and detailed resource configuration (GPU, CPU, memory). Ideal for running large-scale analyses such as RNA-seq, AlphaFold, and single-cell analysis in a reproducible, production-ready environment.

PyDESeq2 is a robust Python implementation for conducting differential gene expression analysis on bulk RNA-seq count data. It supports complete statistical workflows, including data loading from various formats, complex multi-factor design specifications (e.g., accounting for batch effects or covariates), normalization, and performing advanced Wald tests. It is ideal for researchers transitioning R-based DESeq2 analyses into scalable Python pipelines.
