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…

Defining a multicellular model can be challenging. There may be hundreds of parameters that specify the attributes and behaviors of objects. Hopefully the model will be defined using some format specification, e.g., a markup language, that will provide easy model sharing (and a minimal step toward reproducibility).…

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…

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.…

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…

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…

In numerous scientific domains, established tools have often been developed with complex command-line interfaces. Such is the case for brain imaging and bioinformatics, making the use of powerful legacy tools in modern workflow paradigms challenging. We present (i) Styx, a compiler for generating language-native…
