alterlab-pydicom
From the author
Reads, writes, and manipulates DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) medical imaging files with the pydicom Python library. Use when reading/writing/modifying DICOM data, extracting pixel data from CT, MRI, X-ray, or ultrasound images, anonymizing DICOM files, working with DICOM metadata and tags, converting DICOM to other formats, handling compressed DICOM, or processing medical imaging datasets for PACS systems, radiology workflows, and healthcare imaging applications. Part of the AlterLab Academic Skills suite.

- alterlab-pysamAlterLab-IEU/AlterLab-Academic-SkillsRead and write genomic alignment and variant files in Python with pysam (htslib bindings) — SAM/BAM/CRAM alignments, VCF/BCF variants, and FASTA/FASTQ sequences, plus region extraction and per-base coverage/pileup. Use when scripting NGS data-processing pipelines that parse, filter, index, or compute coverage over BAM/CRAM/VCF files. Part of the AlterLab Academic Skills suite.Science★ 78
- alterlab-matplotlibAlterLab-IEU/AlterLab-Academic-SkillsBuilds plots with the matplotlib Python library (pyplot and the object-oriented Figure/Axes API) for full low-level customization, exporting to PNG/PDF/SVG. Use when fine-grained control over individual plot elements is needed — custom line/scatter/bar/histogram/heatmap/contour/box/violin/3D plots, rcParams and style-sheet tuning, or GridSpec subplot layouts inside a scientific Python workflow. Does NOT cover opinionated journal-ready multi-panel figure workflows (Nature/Science/Cell formatting, colorblind-safe palettes, significance annotations); for those prefer alterlab-scientific-viz instead.
