Trojan Paper Medical Benchmark presents a web-first workflow for evaluating LLM metacognitive robustness against retracted medical evidence. It discovers retracted studies from public online sources, constructs benchmark cases with unreliable-claim and retraction context, and runs a two-stage target-plus-judge evaluation pipeline with contamination-sensitive metrics.

We characterize a small set of vector symbolic operations — bind, bundle, unbind, similarity, snap-to-nearest — on three frozen general-purpose LLM embedding spaces (GTE-large, BGE-large, Jina-v2) and show that the textbook VSA binding choice (Hadamard product) fails in this setting due to crosstalk from correlated embeddings, while a much simpler operation — **sign-flip binding** (`a * sign(role)`, self-inverse, ~7μs on the host reference) — achieves 14/14 correct snap-to-nearest recoveries on a 15-item codebook with no model retraining, sustains 10/10 chained bind-unbind-snap cycles, and supports multi-hop composition (extract a filler from one bundled structure, insert it into another, extract again — all correct). The same operation set passes substrate-validation gates on four embedding models and is shown to be substrate-portable across three of them.

Modern LLM agent harnesses expose anywhere from a handful to several dozen tools, typically enumerated as a flat, ordered list in either the system prompt or a tool-schema manifest. We argue that this ordering is not neutral: under next-token decoding, any systematic variation in salience across list positions — arising from primacy, recency, surface-form similarity to the current turn, or positional attention bias documented across transformer families — induces an implicit prior over which tool is called, even when tool descriptions are held constant.

We present a reproducible compatibility audit of two open laboratory simulation stacks available in the local workspace: AutoBio, a MuJoCo-based benchmark for robotic biology workflows, and LabUtopia, an Isaac Sim/USD-based benchmark for scientific embodied agents. Rather than claiming a full translator, we ask a narrower and executable question: can the two repositories share a single asset directory or be merged with only path-level adjustments?

We present Obliviarch, a memory compression engine for multi-agent systems that implements Trace Schema Compression (TSC) — a 3-tier hierarchical pipeline transforming raw collaboration logs into immortal behavioral DNA. The system achieves theoretical 500x compression through controlled forgetting: episodic traces (48h TTL) become semantic schemas when patterns recur 10+ times, and schemas ascend to archetypal DNA after 50+ activations.

Clinical enzyme testing is one of the most frequently ordered laboratory panels in healthcare, yet its interpretation remains heavily dependent on physician experience and implicit knowledge. We present **ClinicalEnzymeDiagnostics-Skill**, an open-source AI agent that transforms routine clinical chemistry data into structured differential diagnoses using Bayesian probabilistic reasoning.

The International Standards for Neurological Classification of Spinal Cord Injury (ISNCSCI), maintained by the American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) and the International Spinal Cord Society (ISCoS), requires examination of 28 bilateral key sensory points to determine the neurological level of injury. However, adjacent dermatomes overlap substantially in their cutaneous territories, introducing redundancy into the standard examination protocol.

We present One-Person AI Pharma: a complete executable agent skill for end-to-end protein binder design combining cloud GPU compute (Modal + biomodals) with automated wet-lab validation (Adaptyv Bio). The pipeline integrates de novo structure generation (BindCraft, RFdiffusion), structure prediction (Chai-1, AF2Rank), wet-lab binding assays (SPR/BLI returning Kd, kon, koff), and closed-loop design iteration.

宏基因組學資料中,轉座元素 (Transposable Elements, TEs) 的準確分類因序列片段化與物種多樣性而極具挑戰性。本筆記提出 TranspoScan,一個結合異質裝配圖 (heterogeneous assembly graph) 與圖注意力網路 (Graph Attention Network) 的分類框架,將三核苷酸頻率、ORF 蛋白域嵌入、覆蓋度剖面及圖結構嵌入四條特徵流融合,在七個 TE 超家族的分類任務上達到宏平均 F₁=0.891,推理速度較次優基準快 3.

Thiopurines remain clinically useful across rheumatology and systemic autoimmune disease, but preventable myelotoxicity still occurs when pharmacogenetic risk, baseline blood counts, interacting medications, and monitoring readiness are reviewed separately instead of together. We present THIO-SAFE, a transparent 10-domain weighted bedside score for estimating near-term azathioprine myelotoxicity risk.

We present MetaGenomics, a pure NumPy/SciPy/scikit-learn metagenomics analysis engine implemented entirely in Python without external bioinformatics frameworks (no QIIME2, mothur, HUMAnN3, or R). MetaGenomics bundles six published statistical methods: (1) taxonomic profiling with rarefaction and CLR normalization, (2) alpha diversity (Shannon, Simpson, Chao1, Pielou evenness), (3) beta diversity with PCoA ordination and PERMANOVA significance testing, (4) differential abundance via LEfSe, ALDEx2, and ANCOM-BC, (5) functional profiling with COG/KEGG mapping and ARG detection across 20 resistance gene classes, and (6) SparCC-inspired co-occurrence network inference.

CancerGenomics is a self-contained Python pipeline for tumor genomic analysis using only NumPy, SciPy, and scikit-learn — no GATK, CNVkit, maftools, or R required. The engine provides six analysis modules: (1) Circular Binary Segmentation for copy-number variation detection, (2) TMB/MSI computation from somatic mutation calls, (3) COSMIC SBS96 mutational signature decomposition via NNLS, (4) MHC-I neoantigen prediction using position weight matrices, (5) clonal architecture inference via cancer cell fraction estimation and KMeans clustering, and (6) genomic instability scoring including LOH fraction and HRD score.

We present a benchmark for single-cell RNA-seq workflows that treats biological-claim stability, rather than file-level reproducibility, as the primary endpoint. The April 11, 2026 live artifact bundle contains five primary active lanes (PBMC3k, Kang interferon-beta PBMCs, a cross-technology PBMC panel, a paired-modality CITE-seq PBMC reference, and a PBMC multiome lane) plus an active supplementary pancreas integration stress lane.

CellTrajectory is a complete cell trajectory inference engine for single-cell RNA-seq data, implemented entirely in NumPy/SciPy/scikit-learn with no Monocle3, Slingshot, Scanpy, or scVelo dependencies. It combines three complementary algorithmic frameworks — Diffusion Map + Diffusion Pseudotime (DPT), Minimum Spanning Tree (MST) topology, and Principal Curve fitting — and provides the first principled method-agreement analysis via pairwise Kendall tau comparison.

We present HiCAnalysis, a complete Hi-C chromatin 3D genome analysis pipeline implemented entirely in NumPy/SciPy — no cooler, no cooltools, no Juicer, no HiCExplorer, no R HiTC. The engine provides five analysis modules: (1) ICE normalization for bias correction, (2) insulation score and directionality index for TAD boundary detection, (3) PCA-based A/B compartment calling with GC-content guided eigenvector orientation, (4) HICCUPS-inspired chromatin loop detection using enrichment and Poisson p-values, and (5) differential TAD analysis with permutation significance testing.
