Super-resolution optical fluctuation imaging (SOFI) is a highly democratizable technique that provides optical super-resolution (SR) without requirement of sophisticated imaging instruments. An open source package for SOFI algorithm is needed to support not only the utilization of SOFI, but also the community adoption…

Chemical Reaction Networks (CRNs) play a pivotal role in diverse fields such as systems biology, biochemistry, chemical engineering, and epidemiology. High-level modelling of CRNs enables various simulation approaches, including deterministic and stochastic methods. However, existing Python tools for CRN modelling…

Implementing RNA-Seq analysis pipelines is challenging as data gets bigger and more complex. With the availability of terabytes of RNA-Seq data and continuous development of analysis tools, there is a pressing requirement for frameworks that allow for fast and efficient development, modification, sharing and reuse of…

Brightest path tracing is a widely used image processing technique in several fields including biology, geography, and geology. However, despite the availability of many image processing libraries in Python, few offer an out-of-the-box implementation of a bright-est path tracing algorithm. This paper presents a Python…

Biological Pathway Exchange (BioPAX) is a standard language, represented in OWL, that aims to enable the integration, exchange, visualization and analysis of biological pathway data. While public databanks increasingly provide datasets in BioPAX format, their use remains below potential. Users may encounter challenges…

Datasets collected in neuroscientific studies are of ever-growing complexity, often combining high dimensional time series data from multiple data acquisition modalities. Handling and manipulating these various data streams in an adequate programming environment is crucial to ensure reliable analysis, and to facilitate…

We previously developed the CellPhe toolkit^1^, an open-source R package for automated cell phenotyping from ptychography time-lapse videos. To align with the growing adoption of python-based image analysis tools and to enhance interoperability with widely used software for cell segmentation and tracking, we developed…

Functional annotation and enrichment analysis based on ontologies has become one of the standard methods of analysis of experimental results. Over the past decade, many methods have been proposed for statistical quantification of enrichment of different functional terms and many implementations of these methods are…

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…
