From 2 comments
By no means am I trying to troll here, I'm genuinely asking: why? What purpose does this serve that I'm missing?

How does this differ from v86 and can bioinformatics tools be excluded?
From 1 comment
How exactly is this different from something like v86? It's definitely easier to embed but also not as customizable. Like if I don't need bioinformatics stuff, can I just exclude…
