Several hundred terabytes of single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) data are available in public repositories. These data refer to various research projects, from microbial population cells to multiple tissues, involving patients with a myriad of diseases and comorbidities. An increase to several Petabytes of these scRNA-seq…

Quantum Package is an open-source programming environment for quantum chemistry specially designed for wave function methods. Its main goal is the development of determinant-driven selected configuration interaction (sCI) methods and multi-reference second-order perturbation theory (PT2). The determinant-driven…

bcftools is the standard toolkit for handling VCF and BCF variant files, but it processes records on a single core; its --threads option speeds up only compression of the output, not the work done on variant records. Processing large call sets is therefore slow, and users often divide the genome and reassemble the…

This paper presents GLAS (Git-based Lab Automated Scheduler or Get Lab Automation Simplified), an open-source, robust, and highly expandable Git-based architecture designed for laboratory automation. GLAS can be deployed in both partially and fully automated experimental science laboratories, enabling the development…

This paper presents a new, parallel implementation of clustering and demonstrates its utility in greatly speeding up the process of identifying homologous proteins. Clustering is a technique to reduce the number of comparison needed to find similar pairs in a set of n elements such as protein sequences. Precise…

General-purpose processors can now contain many dozens of processor cores and support hundreds of simultaneous threads of execution. To make best use of these threads, genomics software must contend with new and subtle computer architecture issues. We discuss some of these and propose methods for improving thread…

Experimental chemical shifts (CS) from solution and solid state magic-angle-spinning nuclear magnetic resonance spectra provide atomic level information for each amino acid within a protein or protein complex. However, structure determination of large complexes and assemblies based on NMR data alone remains challenging…

Particle-based reaction-diffusion models offer a high-resolution alternative to the continuum reaction-diffusion approach, capturing the discrete and volume-excluding nature of molecules undergoing stochastic dynamics. These methods are thus uniquely capable of simulating explicit self-assembly of particles into…

We present a highly scalable DFT-based QM/MM implementation developed within MiMiC, a recently introduced multiscale modeling framework that uses a loose-coupling strategy in conjunction with a multiple-program multiple-data (MPMD) approach. The computation of electrostatic QM/MM interactions is parallelized exploiting…

Permutation tests offer a straight forward framework to assess the significance of differences in sample statistics. A significant advantage of permutation tests are the relatively few assumptions about the distribution of the test statistic are needed, as they rely on the assumption of exchangeability of the group…

Durbin’s positional Burrows-Wheeler transform (PBWT) enables algorithms with the optimal time complexity of O(MN) for reporting all vs all haplotype matches in a population panel with M haplotypes and N variant sites. However, even this efficiency may still be too slow when the number of haplotypes reaches millions. To…

Evaluation of noncovalent electrostatic interactions is the dominant bottleneck in classical molecular dynamics simulations, and evaluation of Coulombic matrix elements similarly limits quantum mechanical self consistent field calculations. These difficulties are a result of the Coulomb operator’s slow decay, which…

Protein conformational landscapes contain the functionally relevant information useful for understanding biological processes. Mapping out conformational landscapes provides valuable insights into protein behaviors and biological phenomena, and has relevance to therapeutic design. While experimental structural biology…
