I will introduce the latest enhancements in MIToS. MIToS is a Julia package crucial in bioinformatics for analyzing protein sequences and structures. It has undergone several updates, including modernized Pfam, SIFTS, and PDB modules and advanced merging operations in the MSA module. A cookbook has also been introduced, offering practical insights into MIToS' capabilities. Attendees can learn about the current state and exciting future of MIToS.
In this presentation, I will explore the latest updates and future directions of MIToS, an essential Julia package for bioinformatics that focuses on protein sequences and structures. MIToS has undergone several updates to keep up with the rapidly changing landscape of bioinformatics, especially in this era of deep learning and big data.
The talk will begin with a brief introduction to the evolution of bioinformatics to understand the importance and impact of the recent MIToS updates. I will then focus on some of the most significant adaptations, highlighting the new concatenation capabilities of the MSA module. Next, I will present the MIToS Cookbook to demonstrate how attendees can effectively utilize MIToS for various bioinformatics tasks. Finally, I will conclude the talk with a future outlook for MIToS, discussing potential upcoming features and modifications. I will also discuss the planned integration with BioJulia, emphasizing the synergy between MIToS and other Julia community packages.
