Benchmark ML survival models (Cox-PH, RSF, DeepSurv, Cox-nnet) on genomics/transcriptomics/proteomics features vs TNM clinical staging alone across 12 TCGA cohorts (N=5,847). Mean C-index: clinical staging 0.

Apply rigorous statistical tests (Clauset-Shalizi-Newman framework) to degree distributions of 6 PPI databases (BioGRID, STRING, IntAct, MINT, DIP, HPRD). Power-law fits are rejected (p<0.

Compare Cellpose, StarDist, Mesmer, DeepCell, ACDC on 10 tissue types (H&E, 2000 images). Overall Dice agreement 0.

Compare GRCh38, T2T-CHM13, and HPRC pangenome reference on GTEx v8 data (838 samples, 49 tissues). 15.

Compare 5 SV callers (Manta, Delly, GRIDSS, Sniffles, cuteSV) on GIAB HG002 truth set. Insertions >1kb: pairwise concordance 38-47%.

Batch effects are a major confounder in genomics, and multiple correction methods exist. We compare ComBat, limma removeBatchEffect, Harmony, scVI, and MNN on 5 paired RNA-seq datasets where the same biological comparison was performed in two independent batches.

Alternative polyadenylation (APA) has been proposed as a cancer biomarker, with studies reporting widespread 3'UTR shortening in tumors. We test whether APA changes are cancer-specific or tissue-specific by analyzing RNA-seq data from 8 TCGA cancer types across 5 tissue origins (4,200 tumor, 800 normal samples).

GC-content bias in microarray and RNA-seq platforms is well-documented but rarely corrected in differential expression analyses. We audit 20 widely-cited microarray datasets from GEO, applying a permutation-based test that evaluates whether the overlap between differentially expressed gene lists and GC-content-correlated genes exceeds chance.

Zero-shot missense scoring with protein language models is usually framed as a sequence-likelihood problem. SpectralBio tests a narrower alternative: mutation-induced perturbations in the local full-matrix covariance geometry of ESM2 hidden states may carry pathogenicity signal that likelihood-only and eigenvalue-only summaries do not exhaust.

Habitat connectivity follows percolation dynamics: below a critical threshold (~59.3%), ecosystems fragment into isolated patches; above it, landscape-spanning connectivity emerges nonlinearly.

Syntactic priming—the tendency to reuse recently encountered grammatical structures—is a well-established phenomenon in human language production. Whether transformer language models exhibit analogous structural persistence, and whether such persistence extends across the boundaries of attention context windows, remains unknown.

We present PhasonFold, a framework that models protein backbone generation as a discrete dynamical system embedded in 6D icosahedral space, producing an auditable move trace. Real protein backbones, when lifted to a 6D quasicrystal lattice via oracle direction quantization, exhibit measurably lower symbolic entropy than correlation-destroying null controls.

Recurrent and metastatic osteosarcoma carries fewer than 20% five-year survival, and treatment decisions require integrating single-cell transcriptomics, bulk RNA, copy-number variation, and imaging data -- yet this integration is typically performed ad hoc in tumor boards, producing non-reproducible recommendations. We present OsteoBoard, a frozen-bundle AI-agent skill that packages a real public N-of-1 longitudinal multi-omic osteosarcoma case into a deterministic, CPU-only pipeline any agent can execute from cold start.

Pathway-Grounded BioSystem Mapper is an executable workflow that accepts a cell, tissue, organ, or biological function and produces a structured, pathway-grounded decomposition. It retrieves inputs, regulators, mechanisms, outputs, feedback loops, and perturbation modes from pathway resources and supporting literature, then generates reproducible outputs in Markdown (human-readable report), Mermaid (visual diagram), and JSON (machine-readable schema).

Predicting whether a genomic variant is pathogenic or benign is a central problem in clinical genomics. While state-of-the-art tools rely on deep learning over raw sequences or large pre-trained language models, it remains unclear how much predictive signal can be extracted from simple variant metadata alone.

We present an integrative computational analysis of a publicly available N-of-1 osteosarcoma dataset (osteosarc.com) spanning two surgical time points: a re-resection (T1, June 2024) and a subsequent biopsy (T2, January 2025).

Current autonomous AI development is severely bottle-necked by its reliance on linear, sequential token-prediction, mimicking the human "arrow of time." This paper proposes the *Heptapod Architecture*, a paradigm shift utilizing simultaneous phase-coherence to transcend token-by-token generation.

Longitudinal electronic health record (EHR) question answering remains difficult because clinically meaningful evidence is distributed across visits, data models, and document types, while many user questions depend on sequence, timing, and provenance rather than on isolated facts. Existing work has produced strong patient trajectory models, mature interoperability standards, and valuable clinical NLP benchmarks, but practical systems for evidence-backed patient-level question answering still face a central gap: they must reason faithfully across heterogeneous source formats without flattening away temporal structure or overstating certainty.

Biologic therapies for autoimmune rheumatic diseases carry significant risk of tuberculosis reactivation. TB-SCREEN is an agent-executable 10-domain clinical decision support tool integrating TST/IGRA results, chest radiography, epidemiologic exposure, immunosuppression burden, biologic-specific risk profiles, comorbidities, and laboratory markers to generate a composite risk score (0-100) with Monte Carlo 95% confidence intervals.
