Impact framework: A python package for writing data analysis workflows to interpret microbial physiology.

ABSTRACT: Microorganisms can be genetically engineered to solve a range of challenges in diverse including health, environmental protection and sustainability. The natural complexity of biological systems makes this an iterative cycle, perturbing metabolism and making stepwise progress toward a desired phenotype through four major stages: design, build, test, and data interpretation. This cycle has been accelerated by advances in molecular biology (e.g. robust DNA synthesis and assembly techniques), liquid handling automation and scale-down characterization platforms, generating large heterogeneous data sets. Here, we present an extensible Python package for scientists and engineers working with large biological data sets to interpret, model, and visualize data: the IMPACT (Integrated Microbial Physiology: Analysis, Characterization and Translation) framework. Impact aims to ease the development of Python-based data analysis workflows for a range of stakeholders in the bioengineering process, offering open-source tools for data analysis, physiology characterization and translation to visualization. Using this framework, biologists and engineers can opt for reproducible and extensible programmatic data analysis workflows, mediating a bottleneck limiting the throughput of microbial engineering. The Impact framework is available at https://github.com/lmse/impact.

A Python-Based Pipeline for Preprocessing LC-MS Data for Untargeted Metabolomics Workflows.

Project description:Preprocessing data in a reproducible and robust way is one of the current challenges in untargeted metabolomics workflows. Data curation in liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) involves the removal of biologically non-relevant features (retention time, m/z pairs) to retain only high-quality data for subsequent analysis and interpretation. The present work introduces TidyMS, a package for the Python programming language for preprocessing LC-MS data for quality control (QC) procedures in untargeted metabolomics workflows. It is a versatile strategy that can be customized or fit for purpose according to the specific metabolomics application. It allows performing quality control procedures to ensure accuracy and reliability in LC-MS measurements, and it allows preprocessing metabolomics data to obtain cleaned matrices for subsequent statistical analysis. The capabilities of the package are shown with pipelines for an LC-MS system suitability check, system conditioning, signal drift evaluation, and data curation. These applications were implemented to preprocess data corresponding to a new suite of candidate plasma reference materials developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST; hypertriglyceridemic, diabetic, and African-American plasma pools) to be used in untargeted metabolomics studies in addition to NIST SRM 1950 Metabolites in Frozen Human Plasma. The package offers a rapid and reproducible workflow that can be used in an automated or semi-automated fashion, and it is an open and free tool available to all users.

PyRINEX: a new multi-purpose Python package for GNSS RINEX data.

Project description:Since the first receiver independent exchange format (RINEX) version was released in 1989, it has gone through several versions, making the existing software, such as TEQC, incompatible with certain later versions. This study proposes a new Python package named PyRINEX, which is developed to batch process the most generally used versions of RINEX files, namely 2.0 and 3.0. The proposed package can be used to manage and edit numerous RINEX files as well as perform a data quality check function. PyRINEX can be easily imported into any Python IDE similar to any other open-source Python package, it also makes secondary development easy for users.

Glycowork: A Python package for glycan data science and machine learning.

Project description:While glycans are crucial for biological processes, existing analysis modalities make it difficult for researchers with limited computational background to include these diverse carbohydrates into workflows. Here, we present glycowork, an open-source Python package designed for glycan-related data science and machine learning by end users. Glycowork includes functions to, for instance, automatically annotate glycan motifs and analyze their distributions via heatmaps and statistical enrichment. We also provide visualization methods, routines to interact with stored databases, trained machine learning models and learned glycan representations. We envision that glycowork can extract further insights from glycan datasets and demonstrate this with workflows that analyze glycan motifs in various biological contexts. Glycowork can be freely accessed at https://github.com/BojarLab/glycowork/.

NiftyPAD - Novel Python Package for Quantitative Analysis of Dynamic PET Data.

Project description:Current PET datasets are becoming larger, thereby increasing the demand for fast and reproducible processing pipelines. This paper presents a freely available, open source, Python-based software package called NiftyPAD, for versatile analyses of static, full or dual-time window dynamic brain PET data. The key novelties of NiftyPAD are the analyses of dual-time window scans with reference input processing, pharmacokinetic modelling with shortened PET acquisitions through the incorporation of arterial spin labelling (ASL)-derived relative perfusion measures, as well as optional PET data-based motion correction. Results obtained with NiftyPAD were compared with the well-established software packages PPET and QModeling for a range of kinetic models. Clinical data from eight subjects scanned with four different amyloid tracers were used to validate the computational performance. NiftyPAD achieved [Formula: see text] correlation with PPET, with absolute difference [Formula: see text] for linearised Logan and MRTM2 methods, and [Formula: see text] correlation with QModeling, with absolute difference [Formula: see text] for basis function based SRTM and SRTM2 models. For the recently published SRTM ASL method, which is unavailable in existing software packages, high correlations with negligible bias were observed with the full scan SRTM in terms of non-displaceable binding potential ([Formula: see text]), indicating reliable model implementation in NiftyPAD. Together, these findings illustrate that NiftyPAD is versatile, flexible, and produces comparable results with established software packages for quantification of dynamic PET data. It is freely available ( https://github.com/AMYPAD/NiftyPAD ), and allows for multi-platform usage. The modular setup makes adding new functionalities easy, and the package is lightweight with minimal dependencies, making it easy to use and integrate into existing processing pipelines.

ColiCoords: A Python package for the analysis of bacterial fluorescence microscopy data.

Project description:Single-molecule fluorescence microscopy studies of bacteria provide unique insights into the mechanisms of cellular processes and protein machineries in ways that are unrivalled by any other technique. With the cost of microscopes dropping and the availability of fully automated microscopes, the volume of microscopy data produced has increased tremendously. These developments have moved the bottleneck of throughput from image acquisition and sample preparation to data analysis. Furthermore, requirements for analysis procedures have become more stringent given the demand of various journals to make data and analysis procedures available. To address these issues we have developed a new data analysis package for analysis of fluorescence microscopy data from rod-like cells. Our software ColiCoords structures microscopy data at the single-cell level and implements a coordinate system describing each cell. This allows for the transformation of Cartesian coordinates from transmission light and fluorescence images and single-molecule localization microscopy (SMLM) data to cellular coordinates. Using this transformation, many cells can be combined to increase the statistical power of fluorescence microscopy datasets of any kind. ColiCoords is open source, implemented in the programming language Python, and is extensively documented. This allows for modifications for specific needs or to inspect and publish data analysis procedures. By providing a format that allows for easy sharing of code and associated data, we intend to promote open and reproducible research. The source code and documentation can be found via the project's GitHub page.

Scedar: A scalable Python package for single-cell RNA-seq exploratory data analysis.

Project description:In single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) experiments, the number of individual cells has increased exponentially, and the sequencing depth of each cell has decreased significantly. As a result, analyzing scRNA-seq data requires extensive considerations of program efficiency and method selection. In order to reduce the complexity of scRNA-seq data analysis, we present scedar, a scalable Python package for scRNA-seq exploratory data analysis. The package provides a convenient and reliable interface for performing visualization, imputation of gene dropouts, detection of rare transcriptomic profiles, and clustering on large-scale scRNA-seq datasets. The analytical methods are efficient, and they also do not assume that the data follow certain statistical distributions. The package is extensible and modular, which would facilitate the further development of functionalities for future requirements with the open-source development community. The scedar package is distributed under the terms of the MIT license at https://pypi.org/project/scedar.
