bonesistools 1.2.2

Bioinformatics toolkit for upstream and downstream analyses around the BoNesis framework

BoNesisTools

BoNesisTools is a Python package providing utilities for Boolean modelling, regulatory influence graphs and single-cell analyses around the BoNesis ecosystem.

The package provides:

• Boolean algebra and partial Boolean abstractions
• Boolean network manipulation and analysis
• signed influence graph utilities
• GRN-informed Boolean predecessor inference
• single-cell and multimodal analysis helpers
• biological database interfaces

Usage

import bonesistools as bt

BoNesisTools exposes four main namespaces:

• bt.sct — single-cell and multimodal annotated data tools
• bt.bpy — Boolean modelling and graph utilities
• bt.dbs — biological database interfaces
• bt.grn — deprecated alias for bt.bpy.ig

---

Single-cell tools

bt.sct follows a Scanpy-like API while providing additional and complementary features for single-cell analyses.

Submodules:

• preprocessing: bt.sct.pp
• tools: bt.sct.tl
• plotting: bt.sct.pl
• datasets: bt.sct.datasets

---

Boolean modelling utilities

bt.bpy provides utilities for Boolean modelling, logical abstractions and signed regulatory graphs.

Submodules:

• Boolean algebra: bt.bpy.ba

  • partial Boolean abstractions and hypercube representations
  • Boolean differential and predecessor inference utilities

• Boolean network: bt.bpy.bn

  • Boolean network manipulation and analysis
  • fixed-point computation
  • .bnet import/export

• influence graph: bt.bpy.ig

  • signed regulatory influence graphs
  • feedback circuit and SCC analysis
  • signed interaction scoring from bounded walks
  • graph compression and visualization utilities

Example:

bn = bt.bpy.bn.BooleanNetwork(
    {
        "A": "B & ~C",
        "B": 1,
        "C": 0,
    }
)

graph = bn.to_influence_graph()

graph.show()

Biological external resources

bt.dbs provides lightweight interfaces and utilities for biological external resources.

Submodules:

• NCBI: bt.dbs.ncbi

  • gene synonym harmonization
  • gene annotation utilities

• OmniPath: bt.dbs.omnipath

  • DoRothEA transcription factor interactions
  • CollecTRI regulatory interaction networks

Example:

genesyn = bt.dbs.ncbi.GeneSynonyms()

grn = bt.dbs.omnipath.load_collectri_grn(
    organism="mouse",
    genesyn=genesyn,
)
