Two new packages released: v-InfoTrace and v-TimeLKFlow
v-InfoTrace extends u-infotrace with multichannel and 3D+time causal information flow analysis, and v-TimeLKFlow implements time-varying, multivariate Liang–Kleeman information flow via Kalman-filter estimation. Both are available now on PyPI; papers are forthcoming.

Our SAM phenomics framework is now published: the methods paper introducing the SAM "phenome" and SPOT tool (Nat Commun 17:8409), and the organoid paper linking morphodynamic phenotypes to genotype perturbations (Nat Commun 17:8410). Both published 17 August 2026.
BIA Lab officially opens at Vanderbilt University
The Biological Information Architecture Lab has officially launched at Vanderbilt University within the Center of Computational Systems Biology. We are excited to begin our work decoding the architecture of biological information at our new home.
