Image analysis [1] [2]. Statistical packages. Rewriting old, but powerful algorithms into modern languages. APIs to access databases such as Entrez, Uniprot, etc. Stupid parsers to parse still-used god-awful ancient data-formats into standard JSON/XML (looking at you genbank and pdb). Here are a couple of great biological scientific topics that are used by a lot of researchers that could always use some help if you find one that is active and to your liking: - https://github.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=ImageJ https://github.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=ImageJ - https://github.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=Entrez&type=Repositories&ref=searchresults https://github.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=Entrez&type=Repos... - https://github.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=Uniprot&type=Repositories&ref=searchresults https://github.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=Uniprot&type=Repo... - https://github.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=particle+tracking&type=Repositories&ref=searchresults https://github.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=particle+tracking... - https://github.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=genbank&type=Repositories&ref=searchresults https://github.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=genbank&type=Repo...
