Title: A Unified Software-Generating Framework for Biological Data Analysis
Abstract: Biological data analysis relies heavily on software, but as projects grow it becomes hard to keep code, interfaces, and tests aligned, and to reuse methods without rewriting them. This thesis presents Genesis, which generates runnable modules, GUIs, and unit tests from a single human-readable .gen.m description of each analysis component. By maintaining a central library of these descriptions, analyses can be recombined for new questions while staying consistent. Four studies across neuroimaging, light-sheet microscopy, and plant Raman spectroscopy show the framework is reusable and extensible across domains.
