Bioinformatics Sequence Toolkit
A foundation repo for sequence work that avoids one-off scripts by focusing on composable modules and streaming-first I/O.
Architecture overview
Toolkit building blocks: streaming I/O → validation/normalization → reusable analysis steps → composable batch runs.
Key technical decisions
- Biopython for robust sequence format handling.
- NumPy for efficient computation and batch transforms.
- Clear module boundaries so labs can compose steps.
Challenges & solutions
Large files and inconsistent inputs can break naive scripts. The toolkit is designed around streaming, validation, and predictable interfaces so it scales to real datasets.
What I learned
How to treat bioinformatics utilities like production code: readable APIs, performance-aware defaults, and reusability across many labs.
