Bio Comparative Genomics Gene Tree Species Tree Reconciliation Agent Skill

Reconcile gene trees against a species tree under probabilistic models of duplication, transfer, and loss (DTL) using ALE (Szöllősi 2013 amalgamated likelihood), GeneRax (Morel 2020 ML reconciliation), AleRax (Morel 2024 co-estimation), Whale.jl (Bayesian DTL+WGD), RANGER-DTL 2 parsimony, NOTUNG, ecceTERA, and Treerecs. Use when inferring ancestral gene-family content, distinguishing duplication from horizontal transfer from differential loss, rooting deep species trees from gene-content signals (STRIDE / Williams 2017 ALE-rooting), counting DTL events per branch, refining noisy gene trees against a species tree, modeling WGD events jointly with DTL, or producing publication-grade gene-family histories for phylogenomic / comparative analyses.

Excalidraw Diagram Generator

by github

vendor ×3

Generate Excalidraw diagrams from natural language descriptions. Use when asked to "create a diagram", "make a flowchart", "visualize a process", "draw a system architecture", "create a mind map", or "generate an Excalidraw file". Supports flowcharts, relationship diagrams, mind maps, and system architecture diagrams. Outputs .excalidraw JSON files that can be opened directly in Excalidraw.

Build and distribute Expo development clients locally or via TestFlight

Use when you have a written implementation plan to execute in a separate session with review checkpoints

Data structure for annotated matrices in single-cell analysis. Use when working with .h5ad files or integrating with the scverse ecosystem. This is the data format skill—for analysis workflows use scanpy; for probabilistic models use scvi-tools; for population-scale queries use cellxgene-census.

Benchling Integration

by christophacham

×3

Benchling R&D platform integration. Access registry (DNA, proteins), inventory, ELN entries, workflows via API, build Benchling Apps, query Data Warehouse, for lab data management automation.

Comprehensive molecular biology toolkit. Use for sequence manipulation, file parsing (FASTA/GenBank/PDB), phylogenetics, and programmatic NCBI/PubMed access (Bio.Entrez). Best for batch processing, custom bioinformatics pipelines, BLAST automation. For quick lookups use gget; for multi-service integration use bioservices.
