Data & Analytics

Preprocessing and harmonization of multi-omics data before integration. Covers normalization, batch correction, feature alignment, and missing value handling across data types. Use when preparing multi-omics datasets for integration analysis.

Detect sample contamination and cross-species reads using FastQ Screen. Screen reads against multiple reference genomes to identify bacterial, viral, adapter, or sample swap contamination. Use when suspecting cross-contamination or working with samples prone to microbial contamination.

Diffusion-based docking that predicts protein-ligand poses without a predefined site. Use for blind docking, when traditional docking fails, or exploring multiple binding modes. Pipeline: prep protein (PDB) and ligand (SMILES/SDF), run inference, analyze confidence-ranked poses.

Deep learning for drug discovery. 60+ models (GCN, GAT, AttentiveFP, MPNN, ChemBERTa, GROVER), 50+ featurizers, MoleculeNet benchmarks, HPO, transfer learning. Unified load-featurize-split-train-evaluate API. For fingerprints use rdkit-cheminformatics; for featurization-only use molfeat.

Query DDInter drug-drug interactions via REST API (1.7M+ interactions, 2,400+ drugs). Search by drug name/ID for severity (major/moderate/minor), mechanisms, and clinical recommendations. No auth. For FDA labeling use dailymed-database; for pharmacogenomics use clinpgx-database.

Pythonic RDKit wrapper with sensible defaults for drug discovery. SMILES parsing, standardization, descriptors, fingerprints, similarity, clustering, diversity selection, scaffold analysis, BRICS/RECAP fragmentation, 3D conformers, and visualization. Returns native rdkit.Chem.Mol. Prefer datamol for standard workflows; use RDKit directly for advanced control.

Query FDA drug labels (DailyMed) via REST API. Search structured product labels (SPLs) by name, NDC, set ID, or RxCUI; get indications, dosage, warnings, adverse reactions, packaging. No auth. For adverse events use fda-database; for DDIs use ddinter-database.

Query ClinicalTrials.gov API v2 for trial data. Search by condition, drug/intervention, location, sponsor, or phase; fetch details by NCT ID; filter by status; paginate; export CSV. For clinical research, patient matching, and trial portfolio analysis.

Query ChEMBL (2M+ compounds, 19M+ bioactivity measurements, 13K+ targets) via the public REST/JSON API with plain `requests` — no SDK install required. Search compounds, retrieve IC50/Ki/EC50 bioactivities, find target inhibitors, run SAR, access drug mechanism/indication data.

Molecular docking with AutoDock Vina (Python API). Receptor/ligand prep (Meeko + RDKit), grid box, docking, pose and binding energy analysis, and batch virtual screening.

Access AlphaFold DB's 200M+ predicted structures by UniProt ID. Download PDB/mmCIF, analyze pLDDT/PAE, bulk-fetch proteomes via Google Cloud. For experimental structures use PDB; for prediction use ColabFold or ESMFold.

Scientific presentations for conferences, seminars, thesis defenses, and grant pitches. Slide design, talk structure, timing, data viz for slides, QA. PowerPoint and LaTeX Beamer. For posters use latex-research-posters.

Designing scientific schematics, diagrams, and graphical abstracts. Covers tool selection (BioRender, Inkscape, Affinity, PowerPoint), design principles for pathway diagrams, mechanism schematics, experimental workflows, and journal graphical abstracts. Includes composition, icon sourcing, color for biological entities, and accessibility. Use when creating illustrative (not data-driven) scientific figures.

Query OpenAlex REST API for 250M+ scholarly works, authors, institutions, journals, concepts. Search by keyword, author, DOI, ORCID, or ID; filter by year, OA, citations, field; retrieve citations, references, author disambiguation. Free, no auth. For PubMed use pubmed-database; preprints use biorxiv-database.

NEJM figure preparation: resolution (300-1200 DPI), editable vector formats (AI/EPS/SVG), in-house medical illustration policy, and strict image integrity requirements.

Nature figure preparation: resolution (300+ DPI), formats (AI/EPS/TIFF), RGB color, Helvetica/Arial fonts, lowercase panel labels, image integrity requirements.

The Lancet figure preparation: resolution (300+ DPI at 120%), preferred editable formats (PowerPoint/Word/SVG), column widths (75/154 mm), Times New Roman, in-house redraw policy.

Universal QA checklist for generated scientific plots: overlapping labels, clipped text, missing axes/legends, overcrowded data, and cross-journal resolution/format guidance.

eLife figure preparation: file formats (TIFF/EPS/PDF), striking image requirements (1800x900 px), figure supplement naming, and image screening policy treating selective enhancement as misconduct.

Selecting a reference manager and applying citation styles. Compares Zotero, Mendeley, EndNote, Paperpile; covers APA/Vancouver/ACS/Nature styles, DOI management, citation tracking, and Word/Google Docs/LaTeX integration. Use when setting up a reference workflow or fixing citation formatting.

Cell (Cell Press) figure preparation: resolution (300-1000 DPI), formats (TIFF/PDF), RGB color, Avenir/Arial fonts, uppercase panel labels, strict image manipulation policies.

Query bioRxiv/medRxiv preprints via REST API. Search by DOI, category, or date range; retrieve metadata (title, abstract, authors, category, DOI, version history) and PDFs. No auth. For peer-reviewed biomedical use pubmed-database; broader scholarly search use openalex-database.

Chunked N-D arrays with compression and cloud storage. NumPy-style indexing. Backends: local, S3, GCS, ZIP, memory. Dask/Xarray integration for parallel and labeled computation. For lineage use lamindb; for labeled arrays use xarray.

Out-of-core DataFrame for billion-row data via lazy evaluation and memory-mapped files. Use when data exceeds RAM (10 GB–TB) for fast aggregation, filtering, virtual columns, and visualization without loading. Supports HDF5, Arrow, Parquet, CSV with cloud (S3, GCS, Azure).
