We introduce Python bindings that enable the convenient, efficient, and reliable use of software modules of Cgal (The Computational Geometry Algorithms Library), which are written in C++, from within code written in Python. There are different tools that facilitate the creation of such bindings. We present a short…

Understanding multicomponent binding interactions in protein-ligand, protein-protein and competition systems is essential for fundamental biology and drug discovery. Hand deriving equations quickly becomes unfeasible when the number of components is increased, and direct analytical solutions only exist to a certain…

We introduce PxBLAT, a Python library designed to enhance usability and efficiency in interacting with the BLAST-like alignment tool (BLAT). PxBLAT provides an intuitive application programming interface (API) design, allowing the incorporation of its functionality directly into Python-based bioinformatics workflows.…

—The Python programming language is best known for its syntax and scientific libraries, but it is also notorious for its slow interpreter. Optimizing critical sections in Python entails special knowledge of the binary interactions between program ming languages, and can be cumbersome to interface manually, with…

In this paper we present the new Dune-Python module which provides Python bindings for the Dune core, which is a C++ environment for solving partial differential equations. The aim of this new module is to firstly provide the general infrastructure for exporting realizations of statically polymorphic interfaces based…

Smoldyn is a particle-based biochemical simulator that is frequently used for systems biology and biophysics research. Previously, users could only define models using text-based input or a C/C++ applicaton programming interface (API), which were convenient, but limited extensibility. We added a Python API to Smoldyn…

Learning Software Quality Authors: ['Hao Li' 'Gopi Krishnan Rajbahadur' 'Cor‐Paul Bezemer'] Bindings for machine learning frameworks (such as TensorFlow and PyTorch) allow developers to integrate a framework's functionality using a programming language different from the framework's default language (usually Python).…

Computing has revolutionized the biological sciences over the past several decades, such that virtually all contemporary research in molecular biology, biochemistry, and other biosciences utilizes computer programs. The computational advances have come on many fronts, spurred by fundamental developments in hardware…

Custom built microscopes often require control of multiple hardware devices and precise hardware coordination. It is also desirable to have a solution that is scalable to complex systems and translatable between components from different manufacturers. Here we report Python-Microscope, a free and open source Python…

Python is a popular and widespread programming language for scientific computing, in large part due to the powerful array programming library NumPy, which makes it easy to write clean, vectorized and efficient code for handling large datasets. A challenge with using array programming for biological data is that the…

Complex genomic analyses often use sequences of simple set operations like intersection, overlap, and nearest on genomic intervals. These operations, coupled with some custom programming, allow a wide range of analyses to be performed. To this end, we have written PyRanges, a data structure for representing and…
