| 2025 | FuNTB: a functional network clustering tool for the analysis of genome-wide genetic variants in Mycobacterium tuberculosisabstractMOTIVATION: Tuberculosis (TB), caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), still claims around 1.25 million lives each year. The growing threat of drug resistance-often driven by single‑nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in Mtb genomes underscores the need for high‑quality genomic data and powerful bioinformatics tools. We present FuNTB, a python‑based pipeline that detects non‑synonymous SNPs in Mtb and builds functional network clusters to reveal genotype-phenotype relationships. RESULTS: FuNTB profiles non‑synonymous SNPs at the gene level across user‑defined phenotypes, pinpointing both shared and unique mutations. It ingests annotated Variant Call Format (VCF) files or MTBseq outputs and merges them with clinical metadata to produce network‑XML files compatible with Cytoscape and Gephi. When applied to the CRyPTIC Mtb collection, FuNTB rapidly recovered established resistance genes and surfaced novel candidates, validating its utility for mapping genotype-phenotype associations. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION: FuNTB is implemented in Python 3.8+ and is freely available under the MIT license at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.15399917. Axel Alejandro Ramos García, Paulina M.

| 2025 | An educator framework for organizing Wikipedia editathons for computational biologyabstractMOTIVATION: Wikipedia is a vital open educational resource in computational biology; however, a significant knowledge gap exists between English and non-English Wikipedias. Reducing this knowledge gap via intensive editing events, or "editathons," would be beneficial in reducing language barriers that disadvantage learners whose native language is not English. Results: We present a framework to guide educators in organizing editathons for learners to improve and create relevant Wikipedia articles. As a case study, we present the results of an editathon held at the 2024 ISCB Latin America conference, in which ten new articles were created for the Spanish-language edition of Wikipedia. We also present a web tool, "compbio-on-wiki," which identifies relevant English Wikipedia articles missing in other languages. We demonstrate the value of editathons to expand the accessibility and visibility of computational biology content in multiple languages. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION: Source code for the compbio-on-wiki Toolforge site is available at: https://github.com/lubianat/compbio-on-wiki.

| 2024 | Closing the computational biology 'knowledge gap': Spanish Wikipedia as a case studyabstractMOTIVATION: Wikipedia is a vital open educational resource in computational biology. The quality of computational biology coverage in English-language Wikipedia has improved steadily in recent years. However, there is an increasingly large 'knowledge gap' between computational biology resources in English-language Wikipedia, and Wikipedias in non-English languages. Reducing this knowledge gap by providing educational resources in non-English languages would reduce language barriers which disadvantage non-native English speaking learners across multiple dimensions in computational biology. RESULTS: Here, we provide a comprehensive assessment of computational biology coverage in Spanish-language Wikipedia, the second most accessed Wikipedia worldwide. Using Spanish-language Wikipedia as a case study, we generate quantitative and qualitative data before and after a targeted educational event, specifically, a Spanish-focused student editing competition. Our data demonstrates how such events and activities can narrow the knowledge gap between English and non-English educational resources, by improving existing articles and creating new articles. Finally, based on our analysis, we suggest ways to prioritize future initiatives to improve open educational resources in other languages.
