Fast short-read DNA aligner for whole-genome, whole-exome, and ChIP-seq alignment to a reference genome. BWA-MEM2 is the 2× faster successor to BWA-MEM; outputs SAM/BAM with read group headers required by GATK. Produces primary alignments with supplementary records for chimeric reads. Use STAR instead for RNA-seq splice-aware alignment; use Bowtie2 as an alternative with comparable accuracy.

Batch correction for single-cell RNA-seq (and other omics) with Harmony. Removes technical batch effects from PCA embeddings while preserving biological variation. Use after PCA, before UMAP/neighbors. Fast and scalable to millions of cells. Python (harmonypy, scanpy integration) and R (Seurat) APIs.

Benchling R&D platform Python SDK. CRUD operations on registry entities (DNA, RNA, proteins, custom entities), inventory management (containers, boxes, transfers), electronic lab notebook entries, workflow automation.

Adaptyv Bio provides an API and Python SDK for ordering and managing cell-free protein expression and binding assay experiments. Use it to submit protein sequences for expression (scale 10–100 µg), characterize binding affinity (KD) against target proteins, track experiment status, and retrieve results — all programmatically without wet-lab setup. Designed for protein engineers, ML-guided directed evolution, and antibody/nanobody optimization workflows. Requires an Adaptyv Bio account and API key.
