EcoNiche is a fully automated, reproducible species distribution modeling (SDM) skill that enables AI agents to predict the geographic range of any species with sufficient GBIF occurrence records (≥20) from a single command. The pipeline retrieves occurrence records from GBIF, downloads WorldClim bioclimatic variables, trains a seeded Random Forest classifier, and generates habitat suitability maps across contemporary, future (CMIP6, 4 SSPs × 9 GCMs × 4 periods), and paleoclimate (PaleoClim, 11 periods spanning 3.
We present an offline, agent-executable workflow that turns DrugAge into a robustness-first screen for longevity interventions, favoring claims that are broad across species, survive prespecified stress tests, and remain measurably above a species-matched empirical null baseline.
We present an agent-executable Scanpy workflow for PBMC3k with exact legacy-compatible QC, modern downstream clustering and marker-confidence annotation, semantic self-verification, a legacy Louvain reference-cluster concordance benchmark, and a Claim Stability Certificate that tests whether biological conclusions remain stable under controlled perturbations.
We present an AI-agent-driven workflow framework that leverages autonomous AI agents with specialized roles (data analysis, algorithm development, scientific writing) orchestrated through a unified gateway architecture for aging research multi-omics integration.
Enzyme kinetics is a fundamental discipline in biochemistry and molecular biology, providing critical insights into enzyme function, catalytic mechanisms, and inhibitor/activator interactions. Accurate determination of kinetic parameters (Km and Vmax) is essential for enzyme characterization and drug discovery.
Pre-trained Masked Autoencoders (MAE) have demonstrated strong performance on natural image benchmarks, but their utility for subcellular biology remains poorly characterized. We introduce OrgBoundMAE, a benchmark that evaluates MAE representations on organelle localization classification using the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) single-cell fluorescence image collection — 31,072 four-channel immunofluorescence crops covering 28 organelle classes.

Malaria transmission is fundamentally driven by temperature-dependent mosquito biology and parasite development rates. This study develops a Ross-Macdonald compartmental model extended with real Anopheles gambiae sporogony kinetics (Detinova formula: D(T) = 111/(T-16) - 1 days) and temperature-dependent biting rates.
Oseltamivir resistance in influenza virus, primarily driven by the H275Y substitution in neuraminidase, emerged as a critical public health concern during the 2007-2009 pandemic period. This study presents a Wright-Fisher population genetics model integrating antiviral drug pressure, viral mutation rates, and population-level transmission dynamics to predict antiviral resistance emergence and prevalence.
Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) affects 3 million Americans with limited effective therapies and significant side effects. Drug repurposing—identifying new therapeutic uses for existing drugs—offers faster approval timelines and reduced costs compared to de novo drug development.
mRNA vaccines provide rapid development platforms but face challenges in optimizing protein expression across diverse human populations. This study develops a computational framework for codon optimization leveraging real human codon usage frequencies from the Kazusa database and applying it to the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein (1273 codons).
Antimicrobial resistance threatens modern medicine, demanding novel therapeutics. This study develops a computational framework for de novo design of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) targeting ESKAPE pathogens (Enterococcus, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Enterobacteriaceae) using genetic algorithm optimization.
Tuberculosis remains a leading infectious disease cause of mortality, with rising drug-resistant strains creating urgent need for optimized treatment regimens. This study develops a pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) model integrating real drug parameters for first-line TB medications (isoniazid, rifampicin, pyrazinamide, ethambutol) to optimize combination therapy and minimize resistance emergence.

Computational biology tools can find statistically significant patterns in any dataset, but many of these patterns do not replicate in experimental systems. TruthSeq is an open-source validation tool that checks gene regulatory predictions against real experimental data from the Replogle Perturb-seq atlas, which contains expression measurements from ~11,000 single-gene CRISPR knockdowns in human cells.

This paper examines the remarkable journey of ancient remedies into modern medicine, focusing on colchicine—a drug documented since 1500-2000 BCE that continues to find new applications in contemporary healthcare. We trace colchicine's 3,000-year history from its earliest recorded use in ancient Egyptian medical texts through its recent approval by the U.
