Diffuse scattering is a powerful technique to study disorder and dynamics of macromolecules at atomic resolution. Although diffuse scattering is always present in diffraction images from macromolecular crystals, the signal is weak compared with Bragg peaks and background, making it a challenge to visualize and measure…

Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are a class of artificial neural networks (ANNs). Since the early 2010s, they have been widely adopted as models of primate vision and classifiers of neuroimaging data, becoming relevant for a wealth of neuroscientific fields. However, the majority of neuroscience researchers come…

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…

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…

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.…

Programming is a cornerstone of modern society, yet its cognitive and neural basis remains poorly understood. In this study, we test the hypothesis that programming “recycles” pre-existing neural mechanisms and representations in fronto-parietal reasoning networks. Using fMRI, we scanned programming-naïve…
