GeoPandas extends pandas for geospatial vector data, enabling reading/writing shapefiles, GeoJSON, GeoPackage and PostGIS, performing CRS management, spatial joins, overlays, buffering, area/distance calculations, and producing static or interactive choropleth maps.

Pydicom is a Python toolkit for reading, writing, and manipulating DICOM medical imaging files, helping teams extract pixel data, manage metadata, anonymize records, convert to standard formats, and integrate with PACS workflows in healthcare research and radiology applications.

Pysam offers Python bindings to htslib for reading and writing SAM/BAM/CRAM alignments, VCF/BCF variants, and FASTA/FASTQ sequences, enabling coverage stats, pileup analysis, variant queries, and seamless integration into NGS pipelines.

scikit-bio provides a Python-native biological data toolkit for reading/writing FASTA/Newick files, manipulating sequences, building alignments and phylogenies, and calculating diversity metrics for microbiome and ecology workflows.

A lightweight Python library designed for reading, parsing, and writing Flow Cytometry Standard (FCS) files. It extracts event data as NumPy arrays, handles complex metadata, and supports multiple FCS versions (2.0-3.1). Ideal for data preprocessing, building cytometry pipelines, and inspecting experimental results.

A powerful Python library that extends pandas to enable complex spatial operations on vector geometric data. It supports reading and writing diverse formats, including Shapefile, GeoJSON, and GeoPackage. Users can perform advanced GIS tasks such as spatial joins, buffering, overlay analysis, calculating areas, managing Coordinate Reference Systems (CRS), and generating interactive choropleth maps, making it essential for geographic data science projects.

A high-performance library built on Polars for advanced genomic interval operations and bioinformatics file I/O. It provides robust support for core interval arithmetic (overlap, merge, complement) and reading/writing major formats like VCF, BAM, BED, and GFF. Features include out-of-core streaming, cloud-native I/O (S3, GCS, Azure), and a powerful SQL interface, making it ideal for large-scale genomic research.

A comprehensive Python library for handling DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) files. Use this skill for reading, writing, and manipulating complex medical images such as CT, MRI, and X-ray. Features include metadata extraction, pixel data manipulation, image anonymization (PHI removal), multi-format conversion, and processing multi-slice volumes, making it essential for medical data analysis and PACS integration.

This guide provides a comprehensive methodology for load testing and capacity planning within Snowflake data warehouses. It covers optimizing query performance by adjusting warehouse sizes (Scale UP), simulating high concurrency using multi-threading (Scale OUT), and configuring advanced scaling policies (Standard, Economy, Maximized). Users can benchmark critical queries using SQL and simulate real-world user traffic using Python, ensuring robust and cost-efficient production environments.
