TC39 Advances Temporal to Stage 4 Alongside Several ECMAScript Proposals
TC39’s March 2026 meeting advanced eight ECMAScript proposals, including Temporal reaching Stage 4 and securing its place in the ECMAScript 2026 specification.
abutils
Advanced tools
Models, functions and visualization tools for working with adaptive immune receptore repertoire (AIRR) data. The primary purpose of abutils is to provide generalizable tools suitable for direct use analyzing bulk AIRR datasets, and is used by scab for single cell AIRR analysis. abutils is a core component of the ab[x] toolkit for AIRR data analysis.
pip install abutils
We've tried to design the abutils API to be intuitive yet powerful, with the goal of enabling both interactive analyses (via environments like Jupyter notebooks) as well as integration of abutils tools into more complex analysis pipelines and/or standalone software tools. See the documentation for more detail about the API. As always, any feedback is greatly appreciated!!
You can run the complete abutils test suite by first installing pytest:
pip install pytest
and then running:
git clone https://github.com/brineylab/abutils
cd abutils
pytest

abutils includes several additional binaries that are required for certain functionality:
abutils.tl.mafft uses MAFFTabutils.tl.muscle uses MUSCLEabutils.tl.cluster uses CD-HIT, MMseqs2, and VSEARCHabutils.tl.fasttree uses FastTreeAlthough these binaries are all packaged into abutils, each respective abutils.tl function provides the option to supply a alternate binary path in case you'd prefer to use a different version.
