Guide to interpreting BUSCO completeness statuses: why Duplicated BUSCOs count as complete, parsing output files, computing/comparing completeness across proteomes/genomes, common counting mistakes. Use when running BUSCO QC, comparing assemblies, or reporting completeness. See also: prokka-genome-annotation for annotation workflows feeding BUSCO.

Evaluating scientific evidence and claims. Covers study design hierarchy (RCT to expert opinion), effect sizes (OR, RR, NNT, Cohen's d), confounding, p-value vs clinical significance, GRADE quality assessment, reproducibility, and bias types (selection, information, confounding, reporting). Use when reading a paper or assessing claims.

Pipeline for Neuropixels extracellular electrophysiology: probe geometry (ProbeInterface), Kilosort sorting via SpikeInterface, quality metrics, unit curation (ISI, firing rate, SNR), post-sort analysis (PSTH, tuning curves, population decoding). Supports Neuropixels 1.0/2.0/Ultra in rodent/primate experiments.

NEJM figure preparation: resolution (300-1200 DPI), editable vector formats (AI/EPS/SVG), in-house medical illustration policy, and strict image integrity requirements.

Interactive scientific visualization with Plotly. Two APIs: plotly.express (px) for one-liner DataFrame plots, plotly.graph_objects (go) for trace-level control. 40+ chart types with hover, zoom, pan, animation. Exports HTML or static PNG/SVG/PDF via kaleido. Use for volcano plots with gene hover, dose-response dashboards, expression heatmaps, 3D molecular views. Use seaborn for stats; matplotlib

Parallel/distributed computing for larger-than-RAM data. Components: DataFrames (parallel pandas), Arrays (parallel NumPy), Bags, Futures, Schedulers. Scales laptop to HPC cluster. For single-machine speed use polars; for out-of-core without cluster use vaex.

Annotate bacterial and archaeal genomes and plasmids with Bakta's Prodigal/HMM/diamond pipeline. Identifies CDS, ncRNA, tRNA, rRNA, tmRNA, sORFs, CRISPR arrays, oriC/oriV/oriT, and gaps against a curated UniRef-derived database. Produces NCBI-compatible GFF3, GenBank, EMBL, JSON, FASTA, TSV, and a circular genome plot. Use Prokka for legacy pipelines or non-bacterial kingdoms; PGAP for NCBI GenBan

Methodology for exploratory data analysis on scientific files. Decision frameworks by data type (tabular, sequence, image, spectral, structural, omics), quality assessment, report generation, format detection across 200+ formats. Use when given a data file for initial exploration or to pick an analysis before a pipeline.

DepMap CRISPR gene effect (Chronos) analysis: sign convention for essentiality, per-gene NaN-safe Spearman correlation, data loading/alignment. For general NaN-safe correlation see nan-safe-correlation; for quality filtering see degenerate-input-filtering.

Pure Python DICOM for medical imaging (CT, MRI, X-ray, ultrasound). Read/write DICOM, pixels as NumPy, edit tags, windowing (VOI LUT), PHI anonymization, build DICOM, series→3D volumes. Use histolab for WSI pathology; nibabel for NIfTI.

Consensus cell type annotation: runs 10+ algorithms (KNN-Harmony/BBKNN/Scanorama/scVI, CellTypist, ONCLASS, Random Forest, SCANVI, SVM, XGBoost) on a labeled reference and transfers labels via majority voting. Outputs per-method labels, consensus, agreement score. Use when single-method annotation is insufficient or you need ensemble uncertainty for novel states.

Guided statistical analysis: test choice, assumption checks, effect sizes, power, APA reporting. Pick tests, verify assumptions, or format results for publication. Covers frequentist (t-test, ANOVA, chi-square, regression, correlation, survival, count, reliability) and Bayesian. Use statsmodels or pymc-bayesian-modeling to fit.
