BoNesisTools

BoNesisTools provides Python-implemented toolkits for upstream and downstream 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 three main namespaces:

• bt.omics — single-cell and multimodal annotated data tools
• bt.logic — Boolean modelling and graph utilities
• bt.resources — biological database interfaces

Single-cell tools

bt.omics is inspired by Scanpy while providing additional and complementary features for single-cell analyses.

Submodules:

• preprocessing: bt.omics.pp

  • expression transformations, feature selection, filtering and metadata utilities

• tools: bt.omics.tl

  • embeddings, neighborhood graphs, clustering and differential analysis

• input/output: bt.omics.io

  • registered single-cell example datasets, GEO import and matrix export helpers

• plotting: bt.omics.pl

  • visualization helpers for embeddings, trajectories, distributions and summaries

Example:

bt.omics.io.available()
bt.omics.io.info("pbmc3k")
adata = bt.omics.io.load("pbmc3k")
adata = bt.omics.io.load("nestorowa")
bt.omics.io.clear("pbmc3k")

Boolean modelling utilities

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

Submodules:

• Boolean algebra: bt.logic.ba

  • logical objects, configuration sets and transformations for Boolean-state reasoning

• Boolean network: bt.logic.bn

  • Boolean model representation, conversion, analysis and exchange

• influence graph: bt.logic.ig

  • signed regulatory graph construction, comparison, analysis and display

• input/output: bt.logic.io

  • BNet, GINML, ZGINML, hypercube and influence-graph readers

Example:

bn = bt.logic.io.read_bnet("model.bnet")
graph = bn.to_influence_graph()

graph.show()

Biological external resources

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

Submodules:

• NCBI: bt.resources.ncbi

  • gene identifier, synonym and annotation utilities

• OmniPath: bt.resources.omnipath

  • regulatory interaction datasets

• HCOP: bt.resources.hcop

  • orthology resources

Example:

gene_identifiers = bt.resources.ncbi.identifiers()

grn = bt.resources.omnipath.collectri(
    organism="mouse",
    identifiers=gene_identifiers,
)
