• Optimized CNN and LSTM architectures for sequence analysis
• Built-in support for TensorFlow/Keras
• Automated model training and evaluation pipelines

Sequence Processing

• DNA sequence preprocessing and validation
• One-hot encoding for sequence data
• Length normalization and validation
• Efficient handling of genomic datasets

Model Evaluation

• Metrics for model performance calculation (accuracy, precision, recall, F1)
• Confusion matrix generation
• Classification reports
• Model performance visualization

Data Management

• CSV file handling
• DataFrame operations
• Train/validation/test split functionality
• Class imbalance visualization
