args2slice

Use when inspecting shell argument tokenization by printing argv as a Go-style `[]string` literal.

asn2ref

Use when converting `Seq-entry` ASN.1/XML-like citation content into compact `CITATION` XML blocks for EDirect-style matching workflows.

asn2xml

Use when converting NCBI-style ASN.1 payloads into XML for downstream EDirect or XML-based processing.

b2ct

Use when converting ViennaRNA-style sequence-plus-dot-bracket records on stdin into RNA connectivity-table output.

bam-to-bed

Use when converting BAM alignment files to BED6, BED12, or BEDPE format for downstream analysis or visualization.

bam-to-fastq

Use when converting BAM alignment files to FASTQ format, including paired-end data requiring separate or interleaved output.

bcftools

Use when working with VCF/BCF variant files for indexing, manipulation, analysis, or variant calling.

bed-to-bam

Use when converting BED/GFF/VCF feature records to BAM format for visualization or downstream analysis.

bed-to-igv

Use when you need to generate an IGV batch script for taking snapshots at loci defined in BED, GFF, or VCF files, especially for repeatable visual review of many regions.

bed12-to-bed6

Use when you need to explode BED12 transcript or block annotations into one BED6 interval per block, such as converting multi-exon records into simple exon intervals for downstream interval analysis.

bedpe-to-bam

Use when converting BEDPE (or BED/GFF/VCF) feature records to BAM format for downstream analysis.

bedtools

Use when performing genome arithmetic on interval files (BED, BAM, BEDGRAPH), including intersection, merging, coverage, format conversion, or sequence extraction.

between-two-genes

Use when extracting the inclusive tabular block between two gene-name rows from a first-column gene list or interval table.

bgzip

Use when you need to compress or decompress files using BGZF (Blocked GNU Zip Format), create BGZF indexes for random access, or prepare bioinformatics files for tabix indexing.

bioinformatics-toolkit

Use when you need a workspace-level entry point to choose among the installed bioinformatics CLIs and repo-backed AI/bio projects in this environment.

biomni

Use when working from the local Biomni repository to run agent-style biomedical tasks or inspect Biomni's biomedical tool modules and examples.

blast-formatter

Use when you need to reformat BLAST archive files into different output formats (tabular, HTML, custom) without re-running the BLAST search.

blast2sam-pl

Use when converting legacy plain-text blastn output into SAM records for downstream SAM/BAM-compatible tooling.

blastdb-aliastool

Use when creating BLAST database aliases, converting GI files to binary format, or aggregating multiple BLAST databases into a single virtual database.

blastdbcheck

Use when verifying integrity and validity of BLAST databases before using them in search pipelines or troubleshooting database corruption issues.
