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. Requires Benchling account and API key. For local sequence analysis use biopython; for chemical databases use pubchem.
Opentrons Protocol API v2 for OT-2 and Flex liquid handling robots. Write Python protocols for automated pipetting, serial dilutions, PCR setup, plate replication. Control hardware modules (thermocycler, heater-shaker, magnetic, temperature). For multi-vendor lab automation use pylabrobot.
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.
Process-based discrete-event simulation framework. Model systems with queues, shared resources, and time-based events: manufacturing lines, service operations, network traffic, logistics. Processes are Python generators that yield events. Resource types include capacity-limited (Resource, PriorityResource, PreemptiveResource), bulk material (Container), and object storage (Store, FilterStore). For continuous simulation use SciPy ODE solvers; for agent-based modeling use Mesa.
Structured ideation methods for scientific research: SCAMPER, Six Thinking Hats, Morphological Analysis, TRIZ, Biomimicry, and 4 more techniques. Decision framework for choosing methods by challenge type (stuck, improving existing, systematic exploration, contradiction resolution). Use when generating research ideas, exploring interdisciplinary connections, or challenging assumptions.
Query ChEMBL bioactive molecules and drug discovery data using the Python SDK. Search compounds by structure/properties, retrieve bioactivity data (IC50, Ki, EC50), find inhibitors for targets, perform SAR studies, and access drug mechanism/indication data for medicinal chemistry research.
