Given a time series or pseudo-times series of gene expression data, we might wish to know: Do the changes in gene expression in these data exhibit directionality? Are there turning points in this directionality. Do different subsets of the data move in different directions? This package uses spherical geometry to probe these sorts of questions. In particular, if we are looking at (say) the first n dimensions of the PCA of gene expression, directionality can be detected as the clustering of points on the (n-1)-dimensional sphere.

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.
