All FREE. No subscriptions. No trials. No limits.

Parallel Processing ⚡

Process large datasets faster with built-in parallel execution:

from biosuite.core.parallel import parallel_map, parallel_gc_content
from biosuite.core.sequence import gc_content

# Process 10,000 sequences in parallel
sequences = ["ATCG...", "GCTA...", ...]  # 10,000 sequences
gc_values = parallel_gc_content(sequences, workers=8)

# Or use the batch processor for large datasets
from biosuite.core.parallel import ParallelBatchProcessor
processor = ParallelBatchProcessor(workers=4)
results = processor.process(gc_content, sequences, batch_size=1000)
print(f"Processed {processor.stats['completed']} sequences in {processor.stats['time']:.1f}s")

100+ Restriction Enzymes 🧪

Full database of Type II restriction enzymes used in molecular biology:

from biosuite.core.utils import RESTRICTION_ENZYMES, RESTRICTION_ENZYMES_SITES

# List all available enzymes
print(f"Available enzymes: {len(RESTRICTION_ENZYMES)}")

# Get enzyme recognition site
site = RESTRICTION_ENZYMES_SITES['EcoRI']  # 'GAATTC'

# Use in restriction digest
from biosuite.core.cloning import simulate_digestion
result = simulate_digestion(plasmid_seq, enzyme='EcoRI')

36+ Visualization Types

Volcano, PCA, Manhattan, MA, Venn, Barplot, Boxplot, Heatmap, Scatter, Time Series, QQ-plot, Clustered Heatmap, Circos, Alignment Viewer, Violin, Raincloud, Ridge, Dot Plot, GSEA, Motif Logo, Sankey, UMAP, Network (PPI/Regulatory/Metabolic), UpSet, Genome Browser, Interactive (Plotly), Sequence Logo, Conservation, Synteny Dotplot, Plasmid Map, Virtual Gel, and more.

Dual-Mode Architecture

Every module follows a consistent pattern:

def analyze(input, ...):
    # Try external tool first (fast)
    if _has_external_tool():
        return _run_external(input, ...), {"engine": "external"}
    # Fall back to pure Python (always works)
    return _run_builtin(input, ...), {"engine": "builtin"}

Cyberpunk GUI

• 29 analysis tabs with scrollable sidebar
• 3 themes: Dark-Green-Cyber, Dark-Purple-Cyber, Light-Blue-Cyber
• Keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl+S, Ctrl+Q, F1, F5, Escape)
• Progress bars for long operations
• Plot history (last 10 plots)
• API key configuration panel
• 15 built-in help guides
• Molecular cloning tab with plasmid viewer

CLI with 99+ Options

Professional CLI menu with organized sections for every analysis type.

Installation

Via PyPI (recommended)

pip install biosuite-ultra

Install with all optional features

pip install "biosuite-ultra[full]"

Windows Users — If pip install fails on pysam

pysam needs C build tools. Two options:

Option A: Visual Studio Build Tools

1. Download: https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/visual-cpp-build-tools/
2. Run installer → select "Desktop development with C++" → Install
3. Open "x64 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS" (search in Start Menu)
4. Run: pip install pysam

Option B: Use Conda (easier)

1. Install Anaconda: https://anaconda.com/download
2. Run: conda install -c bioconda pysam

From source

git clone https://github.com/sahandtouri/BioSuite-Ultra.git
cd BioSuite-Ultra
pip install -r requirements.txt
