NetworkX Graph Analysis
Overview
NetworkX is a Python library for creating, manipulating, and analyzing complex networks and graphs. It provides data structures for undirected, directed, and multi-edge graphs along with a comprehensive collection of graph algorithms, generators, and I/O utilities. Use NetworkX when working with relationship data in social networks, biological interaction networks, transportation systems, citation graphs, or any domain involving pairwise entity relationships.
When to Use
- Analyzing protein-protein interaction networks, gene regulatory networks, or metabolic pathways
- Computing centrality measures (degree, betweenness, PageRank) to identify important nodes
- Finding shortest paths or optimal routes in transportation or communication networks
- Detecting communities or clusters in social networks or co-expression data
- Generating synthetic networks (scale-free, small-world, random) for simulation or null models
- Reading and writing graph data in standard formats (GraphML, GML, edge lists, JSON)
- Visualizing network topology with node/edge attribute mapping
- Checking graph properties: connectivity, planarity, isomorphism, DAG structure
- For large-scale graphs (100K+ nodes) where speed is critical, use
igraphorgraph-toolinstead - For billion-edge graphs or GPU-accelerated analytics, use
graph-toolwith OpenMP orcuGraph - For graph neural networks and deep learning on graphs, use

scientific-brainstorming
Structured ideation methods: SCAMPER, Six Thinking Hats, Morphological Analysis, TRIZ, Biomimicry, plus more. Decision framework for picking methods by challenge type (stuck, improving, systematic exploration, contradiction). Use when generating research ideas or exploring interdisciplinary connections.
12snakemake-workflow-engine
Python-based workflow management system for reproducible, scalable pipelines. Define rules with file-based dependencies; Snakemake automatically determines the execution order and parallelism. Supports local, SLURM, LSF, AWS, and Google Cloud execution via profiles; per-rule conda/Singularity environments. Use for bioinformatics NGS pipelines, ML training workflows, and any multi-step file-processing analysis. Use Nextflow instead for Groovy-based dataflow pipelines or when nf-core ecosystem integration is required.
11esm-protein-language-model
Protein language models (ESM3, ESM C) for sequence generation, structure prediction, inverse folding, and protein embeddings. Use when designing novel proteins, extracting sequence representations for downstream ML, or predicting structure from sequence. Local GPU or EvolutionaryScale Forge cloud API. For traditional structure prediction use AlphaFold; for small-molecule cheminformatics use RDKit.
11biopython-sequence-analysis
Biopython sequence analysis: parse FASTA/FASTQ/GenBank/GFF (SeqIO), NCBI Entrez (esearch/efetch/elink), remote/local BLAST, pairwise/MSA alignment (PairwiseAligner, MUSCLE/ClustalW), phylogenetic trees (Phylo). Use for gene family studies, phylogenomics, comparative genomics, NCBI pipelines. For PCR/restriction/cloning use biopython-molecular-biology; for SAM/BAM use pysam.

11archs4-database
Query ARCHS4 REST API for uniformly processed RNA-seq expression, tissue patterns, co-expression across 1M+ human/mouse samples. Retrieve z-scores, co-expressed genes, samples by metadata, HDF5 matrices. For variant population genetics use gnomad-database; for pathway enrichment use gget-genomic-databases (Enrichr).
