Research skills

Browse reusable Agent Skills, each with a clear purpose and practical guidance.

tooluniverse-protein-structure-prediction

Protein 3D structure prediction from sequence — ESMFold de novo prediction, AlphaFold database retrieval, experimental structures from RCSB, ProtVar variant impact assessment, ProtParam sequence properties. Use for structure prediction when no experimental structure exists, fold-confidence scoring, and structure-guided variant interpretation.

tooluniverse-rare-disease-genomics

Rare disease genomics — disease identification (Orphanet), causative gene discovery, gene-disease validity (GenCC), variant interpretation (ClinVar), and translational research (ClinicalTrials.gov, drug repurposing for orphans). Use for rare-disease-gene curation, novel-gene-discovery analysis, and rare-disease drug-development support.

tooluniverse-regulatory-genomics

Transcription factor binding, cis-regulatory elements (cCREs), chromatin accessibility, and regulatory annotation using JASPAR (motifs), ENCODE (cCREs, ChIP-seq), RegulomeDB (regulatory variant scoring), UCSC — plus sequence-based deep-learning prediction of regulatory activity and non-coding variant effects (AlphaGenome, Enformer, Borzoi, ChromBPNet, Evo 2). Use for regulatory element annotation, TF-binding-site prediction, regulatory-region functional impact assessment, and predicting how a non-coding variant or a raw DNA sequence affects expression/chromatin/accessibility. Use this whenever a user asks what regulates a gene, whether a SNP hits a regulatory element, or to predict a non-coding variant's functional effect from sequence.

tooluniverse-regulatory-variant-analysis

Non-coding/regulatory variant interpretation — GWAS association lookup, eQTL evidence (GTEx), chromatin state (ENCODE), regulatory variant scoring (RegulomeDB, CADD), and TF-binding disruption. Use for non-coding GWAS hit interpretation, eQTL-based gene assignment, and regulatory mechanism reasoning. Distinct from coding-variant tools.

tooluniverse-toxicology

Drug and chemical toxicity assessment via adverse outcome pathways (AOPs), real-world FAERS adverse event signals, FDA labels, and toxicogenomic associations. Triangulates molecular initiating event to cellular outcome to organ-level toxicity to clinical adverse event. Use for hepatotoxicity/cardiotoxicity/nephrotoxicity prediction and toxicology reports.

tooluniverse-variant-predictor-dms-validation

Validate a variant-effect predictor (AlphaMissense, ESM-C SAE, ESM logits, EVE, conservation scores, or any per-variant numeric score) against experimental deep mutational scanning (DMS) data. Computes per-variant predictor scores, splits variants into neutral vs disruptive groups by DMS effect, runs a Mann-Whitney U test on the predictor scores, and sweeps the stratification thresholds for robustness. Use when you need to know whether a predictor's scores track real functional disruption on a specific protein.
