Open-source PyMOL plugin for membrane-aware review of predicted, designed and experimental protein structures. Membrane Visual QC provides planar membrane-relative geometry, residue core/interface classification, hydropathy and ligand-context review, solvent-accessibility context, PDBTM/OPM orientation-source checks, and reproducible batch reporting. It is designed as a review assistant rather than a biological structure validator.

spoQC is a modular framework for multimodal quality control (QC) of imaging-based spatially resolved transcriptomics (SRT). It independently evaluates cell segmentation, imaging, and transcript data to identify high-quality regions (HQRs) across entire tissue sections. In addition, spoQC uses Markov random fields (MRFs) to incorporate spatial dependencies and generate spatially refined QC masks.

Computase accepts raw nucleotide strings or one FASTA record and returns structured, bounded results with explicit scientific conventions.

Converts Protein Data Bank structures into 3D-printable models. Each polymer chain is meshed separately and written as a named object in a single 3MF file, so a multi-material printer can assign one filament per chain. Protein chains can be rendered as a solvent-excluded surface, a cartoon, or a backbone tube; nucleic acids as a tube-and-rung form with the strands of a duplex welded at every base pair. Press-fit magnet pockets are optionally placed at chain interfaces, so a complex comes apart where its subunits actually meet. All meshes are checked for watertightness before export.

Step 2 generates publication-style volcano plots, MA plots, summary bar charts, and expression heatmaps (with optional gene labeling) from the results, exportable as PNG, PDF, SVG, or TIFF. Requires no coding from the user.

RBPBench is a multi-function tool to evaluate CLIP-seq and other related genomic region data using a comprehensive collection of known RNA-binding protein (RBP) binding motifs. RBPBench can be used for a variety of purposes, from RBP motif search (database or user-supplied RBP motifs) in genomic regions, over motif enrichment and co-occurrence analysis, in-depth comparisons over multiple datasets via sequence and genomic annotation statistics, to benchmarking CLIP-seq peak caller methods as well as comparisons across cell types and CLIP-seq protocols. RBPBench supports both sequence and structure motifs, as well as regular expressions (sequence and structure patterns). Moreover, users can easily provide their own motif collections.

A powerful, high-performance bioinformatics framework for discovering, evaluating, and verifying microRNA (miRNA) interactions across DNA, RNA, and protein target sequences. The mirnaprotpred package provides two core modules: SeqFinder: A discovery engine to find all potential miRNA interactions across a genome or target sequence. Validator: A targeted verification engine to test specific, user-provided miRNAs against a target sequence. Both modules are powered by a shared, rigorous biological engine that evaluates exact seed matching, wobble pairing, AU-rich context, and RNAduplex thermodynamic stability.

Plant Compound Extractor is a desktop application that builds a ready-to-use, deduplicated library of 3D ligand structures for a given plant. It queries multiple natural-product and chemical databases (COCONUT, LOTUS, Wikidata, PubChem, PlantaeDB, USDA Dr. Duke's, KNApSAcK and IMPPAT) in parallel, resolves each compound against PubChem for a canonical structure, and falls back to direct source retrieval when needed. Retrieved structures are then converted to 3D using RDKit, with configurable conformer generation and physicochemical filters (molecular weight, rotatable bonds, ring size, etc.). It can also process a manually supplied compound list, or convert an existing folder of 2D structures to 3D.
