DNALearnKit: Advanced Machine Learning - Deep Learning Library for DNA Analysis

DNALearnKit is a specialized Python library designed for machine learning applications in genomics and bioinformatics research, emphasizing modern deep learning architectures and sequence analysis.

Overview

DNALearnKit bridges the gap between traditional bioinformatics tools and contemporary deep learning frameworks. While libraries like Biopython excel at sequence manipulation, DNALearnKit offers seamless integration with advanced neural network architectures (CNN, LSTM) and gradient boosting methods for genomic analysis.

Key Features

Deep Learning Integration

• Optimized CNN and LSTM architectures for sequence analysis
• Built-in support for TensorFlow/Keras
• Automated model training and evaluation pipelines

Sequence Processing

• DNA sequence preprocessing and validation
• One-hot encoding for sequence data
• Length normalization and validation
• Efficient handling of genomic datasets

Model Evaluation

• Metrics for model performance calculation (accuracy, precision, recall, F1)
• Confusion matrix generation
• Classification reports
• Model performance visualization

Data Management

• CSV file handling
• DataFrame operations
• Train/validation/test split functionality
• Class imbalance visualization

Quick Start

1. Copy pydna.py and ipydna.py into your project directory.
2. Import the library:

import DNALearnKit

# Read DNA sequence data
df_genomics = PyDNA.pandas_read_data("CSV", csv_path_file, None)

# Preprocess sequences
X = PyDNA.select_df_column(df_genomics, "dna_sequence")
X = PyDNA.cnn_X_onehot_encoder(X)

# Train deep learning model
model, history = PyDNA.create_lstm_model(y_train, X_train, epochs_number, 
                                         data_split, val_accuracy_threshold)
