Project UpdateBioinformatics Open Source Conference (BOSC) July 14, 2012 Long Beach, California, USA Eric Talevich, Peter Cock, Brad Chapman, João Rodrigues, and Biopython contributors

Hello, BOSCBiopython is a freely available Python library for biologicalcomputation, and a long-running, distributed collaborationto produce and maintain it [1]. ● Supported by the Open Bioinformatics Foundation (OBF) ● "This is Pythons Bio* library. There are several Bio* libraries like it, but this one is ours." ● http://biopython.org/_____[1] Cock, P.J.A., Antao, T., Chang, J.T., Chapman, B.A., Cox, C.J., Dalke, A.,Friedberg, I., Hamelryck, T., Kauff, F., Wilczynski, B., de Hoon, M.J.

Bio.Graphics (Biopython 1.59, February 2012)New features in...BasicChromosome: ● Draw simple sub-features on chromosome segments ● Show the position of genes, SNPs or other lociGenomeDiagram [2]: ● Cross-links between tracks ● Track-specific start/end positions for showing regions_____[2] Pritchard, L., White, J.A., Birch, P.R., Toth, I.

SeqIO and AlignIO(Biopython 1.58, August 2011)● SeqXML format [3]● Read support for ABI chromatogram files (Wibowo A.)● "phylip-relaxed" format (Connor McCoy, Brandon I.) ○ Relaxes the 10-character limit on taxon names ○ Space-delimited instead ○ Used in RAxML, PhyML, PAML, etc._____[3] Schmitt et al. (2011) SeqXML and OrthoXML: standards for sequence andorthology information. Briefings in Bioinformatics 12(5): 485-488. doi:10.1093/bib/bbr025

Bio.Phylo & pypaml● PAML interop: wrappers, I/O, glue ○ Merged Brandon Invergo’s pypaml as Bio.Phylo.PAML (Biopython 1.58, August 2011)● Phylo.draw improvements● RAxML wrapper (Biopython 1.60, June 2012)● Paper in review [4]_____[4] Talevich, E., Invergo, B.M., Cock, P.J.A., Chapman, B.A. (2012) Bio.Phylo:a unified toolkit for processing, analysis and visualization of phylogenetic datain Biopython.

Bio.bgzf (Blocked GNU Zip Format)● BGZF is a GZIP variant that compresses blocks of a fixed, known size● Used in Next Generation Sequencing for efficient random access to compressed files ○ SAM + BGZF = BAMBio.SeqIO can now index BGZF compressedsequence files. (Biopython 1.60, June 2012)

TogoWS(Biopython 1.59, February 2012)● TogoWS is an integrated web resource for bioinformatics databases and services● Provided by the Database Center for Life Science in Japan● Usage is similar to NCBI Entrez_____http://togows.dbcls.jp/

PyPy and Python 3Biopython:● works well on PyPy 1.9 (excluding NumPy & C extensions)● works on Python 3 (excluding some C extensions), but concerns remain about performance in default unicode mode. ○ Currently beta level support.

Bio.PDB● mmCIF parser restored (Biopython 1.60, June 2012) ○ Lenna Peterson fixed a 4-year-old lex/yacc-related compilation issue ○ That was awesome ○ Now shes a GSoC student ○ Py3/PyPy/Jython compatibility in progress● Merging GSoC results incrementally ○ Atom element names & weights (João Rodrigues, GSoC 2010) ○ Lots of feature branches remaining...

Google Summer of Code (GSoC)In 2011, Biopython had three projects funded via the OBF:● Mikael Trellet (Bio.PDB)● Michele Silva (Bio.PDB, Mocapy++)● Justinas Daugmaudis (Mocapy++)In 2012, we have two projects via the OBF:● Wibowo Arindrarto: (SearchIO)● Lenna Peterson: (Variants)_____http://biopython.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Codehttp://www.open-bio.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Codehttps://www.google-melange.com/

GSoC 2011: Mikael TrelletBiomolecular interfaces in Bio.PDBMentor: João Rodrigues● Representation of protein-protein interfaces: SM(I)CRA● Determining interfaces from PDB coordinates● Analyses of these objects_____http://biopython.org/wiki/GSoC2011_mtrellet

GSoC 2011: Michele SilvaPython/Biopython bindings for Mocapy++Mentor: Thomas HamelryckMichele Silva wrote a Python bridge for Mocapy++ andlinked it to Bio.PDB to enable statistical analysis of proteinstructures.More-or-less ready to merge after the next Mocapy++release._____http://biopython.org/wiki/GSOC2011_Mocapy

GSoC 2011: Justinas DaugmaudisMocapy extensions in PythonMentor: Thomas HamelryckEnhance Mocapy++ in a complementary way, developing aplugin system for Mocapy++ allowing users to easily writenew nodes (probability distribution functions) in Python.Hes finishing this as part of his masters thesis project withThomas Hamelryck._____http://biopython.org/wiki/GSOC2011_MocapyExt
