Unified Python interface to 40+ bioinformatics web services: UniProt proteins, KEGG pathways, ChEMBL/ChEBI/PubChem, BLAST, cross-database ID mapping, GO annotations, PPI. For deep single-DB queries use dedicated tools (gget for Ensembl, pubchempy for PubChem); bioservices excels at cross-database workflows.

scikit-learn compatible Python toolkit for time series ML: classify, cluster, regress, segment, transform with 30+ algorithms (ROCKET, InceptionTime, KNN-DTW, HIVE-COTE, WEASEL). Handles panel, multivariate, and unequal-length series. Maintained successor to sktime. Alternatives: sktime (larger ecosystem), tslearn (fewer algorithms), catch22 (features only).

Biopython sequence analysis: parse FASTA/FASTQ/GenBank/GFF (SeqIO), NCBI Entrez (esearch/efetch/elink), remote/local BLAST, pairwise/MSA alignment (PairwiseAligner, MUSCLE/ClustalW), phylogenetic trees (Phylo). Use for gene family studies, phylogenomics, comparative genomics, NCBI pipelines. For PCR/restriction/cloning use biopython-molecular-biology; for SAM/BAM use pysam.

Dataflow workflow engine for scalable bioinformatics pipelines. Defines processes (containerized tasks) connected by channels; runs local, HPC (SLURM/SGE), cloud (AWS/GCP/Azure), or Kubernetes via a single config change. Powers nf-core. Use Snakemake for rule-based Python workflows; use Nextflow for containerized, cloud-native, and nf-core pipelines.

Molecular biology toolkit: sequence manipulation, FASTA/GenBank/PDB I/O, NCBI Entrez, BLAST automation, pairwise/MSA alignment, Bio.PDB, phylogenetic trees. Use for batch processing, custom pipelines, format conversion, PubMed/GenBank queries. For quick gene lookups use gget; for multi-service REST APIs use bioservices.

MaxQuant + Perseus proteomics pipeline: run MaxQuant for LFQ and SILAC; parse proteinGroups.txt in Python; filter contaminants/decoys; log2 + median-normalize; impute MNAR; t-test with FDR; volcano plot; GO/pathway enrichment. Use Proteome Discoverer for Thermo-native processing; FragPipe/MSFragger for GPU-accelerated DB search.

Python image processing for microscopy and bioimage analysis. Read/write images, filter (Gaussian, median, LoG), segment (thresholding, watershed, active contours), measure region properties, detect features. SciPy/NumPy ecosystem. Use OpenCV for real-time video; CellPose for DL cell segmentation; napari for visualization.

Read/write SAM/BAM/CRAM, VCF/BCF, FASTA/FASTQ. Region queries, pileup, variant filtering, read groups. Python htslib wrapper exposing samtools/bcftools CLI. Use STAR/BWA for alignment; GATK/DeepVariant for variant calling.

Python bridge to ImageJ2/Fiji for macros, plugins (Bio-Formats, TrackMate, Analyze Particles), NumPy↔ImagePlus/ImgLib2 exchange, and ImageJ Ops. Automates Fiji headlessly from Python. Use scikit-image for pure Python without Fiji plugins; napari for visualization.

Symbolic math in Python: exact algebra, calculus (derivatives, integrals, limits), equation solving, symbolic matrices, ODEs, code gen (lambdify, C/Fortran). Use for exact symbolic results. For numerical use numpy/scipy; for stats use statsmodels.

Hardware-agnostic Python liquid-handler library: portable scripts run on Hamilton STAR, Tecan Freedom EVO, Opentrons OT-2, or a simulator without vendor lock-in. For protocol automation, method dev, plate reformatting, serial dilutions, and Python lab workflows.

API + Python SDK for ordering cell-free protein expression and binding assays. Submit sequences for expression (10–100 µg), measure binding affinity (KD) against targets, track status, and retrieve results programmatically — no wet-lab setup. Built for ML-guided directed evolution and antibody/nanobody optimization. Requires Adaptyv account and API key.
