PyPop: a mature open-source software pipeline for population genomics

Python for Population Genomics (PyPop) is a software package that processes genotype and allele data and performs large-scale population genetic analyses on highly polymorphic multi-locus genotype data. In particular, PyPop tests data conformity to Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium expectations, performs Ewens-Watterson tests for selection, estimates haplotype frequencies, measures linkage disequilibrium, and tests significance. Standardized means of performing these tests is key for contemporary studies of evolutionary biology and population genetics, and these tests are central to genetic studies of disease association as well. Here, we present PyPop 1.0.0, a new major release of the package, which implements new features using the more robust infrastructure of GitHub, and is distributed via the industry-standard Python Package Index. New features include implementation of the asymmetric linkage disequilibrium measures and, of particular interest to the immunogenetics research communities, support for modern nomenclature, including colon-delimited allele names, and improvements to meta-analysis features for aggregating outputs for multiple populations.

A Comprehensive Open-Source R Software For Statistical Metrology Calculations: From Uncertainty Evaluation To Risk Analysis

Whether calibrating equipment or inspecting products on the factory floor, metrology requires many complicated statistical calculations to achieve a full understanding and evaluation of measurement uncertainty and quality. In order to assist its workforce in performing these calculations in a consistent and rigorous way, the Primary Standards Lab at Sandia National Laboratories (SNL) has developed a free and open-source software package for computing various metrology calculations from uncertainty propagation to risk analysis. In addition to propagating uncertainty through a measurement model using the well-known Guide to Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement or Monte Carlo approaches, evaluating the individual Type A and Type B uncertainty components that go into the measurement model often requires other statistical methods such as analysis of variance or determining uncertainty in a fitted curve. Once the uncertainty in a measurement has been calculated, it is usually evaluated from a risk perspective to ensure the measurement is suitable for making a particular conformance decision. Finally, SNL’s software can perform all these calculations in a single application via an easy-to-use graphical interface, where the different functions are integrated so the results of one calculation can be used as inputs to another calculation.

Smart connected worker edge platform for smart manufacturing: Part 1—Architecture and platform design

Abstract The challenge of sustainably producing goods and services for healthy living on a healthy planet requires simultaneous consideration of economic, societal, and environmental dimensions in manufacturing. Enabling technology for data driven manufacturing paradigms like Smart Manufacturing (a.k.a. Industry 4.0) serve as the technological backbone from which sustainable approaches to manufacturing can be implemented. Unfortunately, these technologies are typically associated with broader and deeper factory automation that is often too expensive and complex for the small and medium sized manufacturers (SMMs) that comprise the majority of manufacturing business in the USA and for whom their most valuable asset are the people whose jobs automation while replace. This paper describes an edge intelligent platform to integrate internet‐of‐things technologies with computing hardware, software, computational workflows for machine learning, and data ingestion, enabling SMMs to transition into smart manufacturing paradigms by leveraging the intelligence of their people. The platform leverages consumer grade electronics and sensors (affordable and portable), customized software with open source software packages (accessible), and existing communication network infrastructures (scalable). The software systems are implemented via Kubernetes orchestration of Docker containerization to ensure scalability and programmability. The platform is adaptive via computational workflow engines that produce information from data by processing with low‐cost edge computing devices while efficiently accessing resources of cloud servers as needed. The proposed edge platform connects workers to technological resources that provide computational intelligence (i.e., silicon‐based sensing and computation for data collection and contextualization) to enable decision making at the edge of advanced manufacturing.

High Performance Computing Innovation Center Open Source Developer Tools

The High Performance Computing Innovation Center (HPCIC) aims to ease the transition for developers to use open source software provided by the lab. HPCIC Developer Tools is a collection of software, containers, cloud configurations, and associated documentation that make it easy to deploy tutorials or small apps to demonstrate lab-developed software. For example, building a tutorial container that includes lab software and interactive interfaces; a command line or web-based tool that accepts user preferences for the tutorial; supporting tools and software development kits (SDKs) for developer interactions or productivity in different languages embraced by the larger developer community such as Go, Rust, and Python; and automation in version control to support continued update of software and associated resources. These tools are best developed in an open source environment such as GitHub, not only to champion the lab's open source software, but for purposes of branding and demonstrating the lab's leadership in open source. Such an effort that brings in more developers to use and contribute to lab software can further improve the quality of the software, and developer experience at the lab.

Implementation of real‐time TDDFT for periodic systems in the open‐source PySCF software package

Abstract We present a new implementation of real‐time time‐dependent density functional theory (RT‐TDDFT) for calculating excited‐state dynamics of periodic systems in the open‐source Python‐based PySCF software package. Our implementation uses Gaussian basis functions in a velocity gauge formalism and can be applied to periodic surfaces, condensed‐phase, and molecular systems. As representative benchmark applications, we present optical absorption calculations of various molecular and bulk systems and a real‐time simulation of field‐induced dynamics of a (ZnO) 4 molecular cluster on a periodic graphene sheet. We present representative calculations on optical response of solids to infinitesimal external fields as well as real‐time charge‐transfer dynamics induced by strong pulsed laser fields. Due to the widespread use of the Python language, our RT‐TDDFT implementation can be easily modified and provides a new capability in the PySCF code for real‐time excited‐state calculations of chemical and material systems.

BOSC 2019, the 20th annual Bioinformatics Open Source Conference

The Bioinformatics Open Source Conference is a volunteer-organized meeting that covers open source software development and open science in bioinformatics. Launched in 2000, BOSC has been held every year since. BOSC 2019, the 20th annual BOSC, took place as one of the Communities of Special Interest (COSIs) at the Intelligent Systems for Molecular Biology meeting (ISMB/ECCB 2019). The two-day meeting included a total of 46 talks and 55 posters, as well as eight Birds of a Feather interest groups. The keynote speaker was University of Cape Town professor Dr. Nicola Mulder, who spoke on “Building infrastructure for responsible open science in Africa”. Immediately after BOSC 2019, about 50 people participated in the two-day CollaborationFest (CoFest for short), an open and free community-driven event at which participants work together to contribute to bioinformatics software, documentation, training materials, and use cases.
