bindingdb-query

Query the BindingDB drug-target binding affinity database. Use whenever the user asks about protein-ligand binding data, affinity measurements (Ki, IC50, Kd, EC50), or wants to look up binding partners for a UniProt ID, PDB ID, or compound SMILES string.

bio-alignment-structural

Align protein structures using Foldseek 3Di, TM-align, US-align, DALI, or Foldmason for structural MSA. Predict, score, and superpose backbone coordinates when sequence identity is below the twilight zone or remote-homology detection is required. Use when sequence MSA fails (<25% identity), when the dark proteome is the target, when AlphaFoldDB / ESM Atlas search is needed, or when structural superposition is the goal.

bio-atac-seq-allele-specific-accessibility

Detect allele-specific chromatin accessibility from ATAC-seq using WASP, GATK ASEReadCounter, or RASQUAL. Use when mapping cis-regulatory genetic variants from heterozygous SNPs, separating cis from trans regulation, building chromatin QTL (caQTL) maps, validating GWAS variant function with allelic imbalance, or detecting reference allele mapping bias before downstream analysis.

bio-atac-seq-co-accessibility

Infer cis-regulatory connections (peak-to-peak co-accessibility) from scATAC-seq using Cicero, ArchR getCoAccessibility, or SCENIC+. Use when linking enhancer accessibility to promoter accessibility, identifying enhancer-gene pairs from chromatin alone (without paired RNA), running gene-regulatory inference combining ATAC + RNA, or comparing predicted regulatory contacts against Hi-C/Micro-C ground truth.

bio-atac-seq-enhancer-gene-linking

Predict enhancer-gene regulatory connections from ATAC-seq using ABC, ENCODE-rE2G, HiChIP, or Cicero. Use when linking distal enhancers to target genes, choosing between contact-aware (ABC, ENCODE-rE2G), accessibility-only (Cicero), and orthogonal (HiChIP H3K27ac, EpiMap) approaches, validating predictions against CRISPRi-FlowFISH gold-standard, or building cell-type-specific regulatory maps for fine-mapping or therapeutic target discovery.

bio-atac-seq-single-cell-atac

Process and analyze single-cell ATAC-seq data with Signac, ArchR, SnapATAC2, or Cell Ranger ATAC. Use when handling 10X scATAC or 10X Multiome (paired RNA+ATAC) data, performing per-cell QC, choosing between ArchR/Signac/SnapATAC2 ecosystems, building per-cluster consensus peaksets, integrating with paired scRNA-seq, doublet detection (AMULET vs ArchR vs scDblFinder), or running pseudobulk differential accessibility per cluster.

bio-biomart-queries

Bulk-query Ensembl BioMart (and other BioMart instances) for cross-database ID mapping, gene/transcript/exon coordinates, and ortholog tables. Use when batch-converting Ensembl IDs to other namespaces (HGNC, RefSeq, UniProt, Entrez), pulling gene coordinate tables for thousands of genes, building ortholog wide-tables across species, or replacing slow Ensembl REST loops with one-shot bulk export. Encodes BioMart's XML query format, R biomaRt vs Python pybiomart trade-off, mart-vs-dataset hierarchy, and the URL endpoint that's BioMart-specific (separate from rest.ensembl.org).

bio-causal-genomics-effector-gene-prioritization

Maps GWAS-implicated loci to candidate effector (causal) genes by integrating variant-to-gene (V2G) features via Open Targets L2G (Mountjoy 2021), MAGMA gene-based association (de Leeuw 2015), FUMA SNP2GENE, cS2G combined SNP-to-gene scores (Gazal 2022), Polygenic Priority Scores (PoPS, Weeks 2023), FLAMES, INQUISIT, DEPICT, and enhancer-gene predictors (ABC, ENCODE-rE2G). Use when narrowing a GWAS lead locus to a candidate causal gene, picking between proximity, eQTL-based, and similarity-based prioritizers, integrating multi-evidence streams (fine-mapping, colocalization, ABC enhancer-gene, distance, chromatin), reconciling discordant L2G vs PoPS calls, prioritizing tissue-specific eQTL evidence, or triangulating across at least three independent lines of evidence for a publication-grade effector-gene nomination.

bio-causal-genomics-genetic-correlation

Estimate bivariate genetic correlation (rg) between traits from GWAS summary statistics or individual-level genotypes using cross-trait LDSC, HDL, LAVA, rho-HESS, GREML-bivariate, Popcorn, and HDL-L. Use when quantifying shared genetic architecture between two traits, screening MR validity before causal inference, distinguishing global from locus-level rg, estimating trans-ancestry rg, separating partial from full causation via LCV gcp, or producing a STROBE-MR-compliant cross-trait sensitivity battery. Cross-trait LDSC intercept absorbs sample overlap and is NOT a bias; HDL is biased under sample overlap above ~5%. High rg between exposure and outcome motivates CHP-aware MR sensitivity (CAUSE, LHC-MR).

bio-causal-genomics-genomic-sem

Fits structural equation models to GWAS summary statistics using GenomicSEM (Grotzinger 2019), including common-factor models, confirmatory factor models, ESEM, common-factor GWAS with Q_SNP heterogeneity, multivariate Wald tests, and stratified GenomicSEM partitioned heritability. Reconciles results against MTAG multi-trait analysis. Handles sample overlap via the LDSC sampling-covariance matrix, identifies and resolves Heywood cases, and verifies model fit with CFI / RMSEA. Use when modeling latent genetic architecture across correlated traits, running multivariate GWAS on a shared factor, distinguishing factor-mediated from trait-specific SNP effects, or comparing GenomicSEM common-factor results against MTAG when both depend on accurate sampling covariance.
