Structured peer review of manuscripts and grants. 7-stage evaluation: initial assessment, section review, statistical rigor, reproducibility, figure integrity, ethics, writing. Covers CONSORT/STROBE/PRISMA and report structure. For evidence quality see scientific-critical-thinking; scoring see sc...
Scientific manuscript writing: IMRAD, citation styles (APA/AMA/Vancouver/IEEE), figures/tables, reporting guidelines (CONSORT/STROBE/PRISMA/ARRIVE), writing principles (clarity/conciseness/accuracy), venue-specific style. For LaTeX see companion assets.
Research posters in LaTeX using beamerposter, tikzposter, or baposter. Layout, typography, color schemes, figure integration, accessibility, and QA for conferences. Includes templates. For figure generation use matplotlib-scientific-plotting or plotly-interactive-visualization.
The Lancet figure preparation: resolution (300+ DPI at 120%), preferred editable formats (PowerPoint/Word/SVG), column widths (75/154 mm), Times New Roman, in-house redraw policy.
Cancer Research (AACR) figures: resolution (300-1200 DPI), formats (EPS/TIFF/AI), hierarchical panel labels (Ai, Aii, Bi), figure/table limits, legend requirements with replicate counts.
NEJM figure preparation: resolution (300-1200 DPI), editable vector formats (AI/EPS/SVG), in-house medical illustration policy, and strict image integrity requirements.
Guidelines for clinical decision support (CDS) documents: biomarker-stratified cohort analyses and GRADE-graded treatment reports. Covers structure, executive summaries, evidence grading (1A–2C), stats (HR, CI, survival), and biomarker integration. Use for pharma research docs, clinical guideline...
Pure Python DICOM for medical imaging (CT, MRI, X-ray, ultrasound). Read/write DICOM, pixels as NumPy, edit tags, windowing (VOI LUT), PHI anonymization, build DICOM, series→3D volumes. Use histolab for WSI pathology; nibabel for NIfTI.
Guide for annotating statistical significance (p-value asterisks) on comparison plots. Covers standard notation (ns, *, **, ***, ****), matplotlib bracket+asterisk implementation, and use with seaborn box/violin/bar plots. Use when preparing publication-ready figures with significance markers.
De novo and known TF motif enrichment in ChIP-seq/ATAC-seq peaks via HOMER. findMotifsGenome.pl finds over-represented patterns vs background; annotatePeaks.pl assigns context (TSS distance, gene, repeat). Use after MACS3 to identify enriched TFs, annotate peaks with nearest genes, and validate C...
Biopython sequence analysis: parse FASTA/FASTQ/GenBank/GFF (SeqIO), NCBI Entrez (esearch/efetch/elink), remote/local BLAST, pairwise/MSA alignment (PairwiseAligner, MUSCLE/ClustalW), phylogenetic trees (Phylo). Use for gene family studies, phylogenomics, comparative genomics, NCBI pipelines. For ...
Poisson-model peak caller for ChIP-seq/ATAC-seq BAMs. MACS3 callpeak finds enriched regions (TF sites or histone marks) vs input/IgG; outputs BED narrowPeak/broadPeak for motif analysis, annotation, and differential binding. Use narrow peaks for TF ChIP-seq and ATAC-seq; broad for H3K27me3, H3K9m...
MS spectral matching and metabolite ID with matchms. Import spectra (mzML, MGF, MSP, JSON), filter/normalize peaks, score similarity (cosine, modified cosine, fingerprint), build reproducible pipelines, identify unknowns vs spectral libraries. Use pyopenms for full LC-MS/MS proteomics.
MaxQuant + Perseus proteomics pipeline: run MaxQuant for LFQ and SILAC; parse proteinGroups.txt in Python; filter contaminants/decoys; log2 + median-normalize; impute MNAR; t-test with FDR; volcano plot; GO/pathway enrichment. Use Proteome Discoverer for Thermo-native processing; FragPipe/MSFragg...
MS data processing with PyOpenMS for LC-MS/MS proteomics and metabolomics — mzML/mzXML I/O, signal processing (smoothing, peak picking, centroiding), feature detection/linking, peptide/protein ID with FDR, untargeted metabolomics. Use matchms for simple spectral matching.
Query UniProt REST API: search by gene/protein name, fetch FASTA, map IDs (Ensembl, PDB, RefSeq), access Swiss-Prot annotations. Use bioservices for multi-DB access; alphafold-database-access for structures.
Look up EMDB cryo-EM density maps and fitted atomic models via the entry REST API + EBI Search WS. Fetch entry metadata (resolution, method, organism, sample), map download URLs, fitted PDB IDs, and citations. Keyword search via EBI Search. No auth. For atomic coordinates use pdb-database; for Al...
Infer and visualize intercellular communication from scRNA-seq with CellChat (R). Build CellChat from Seurat/counts → subset CellChatDB ligand-receptor pairs → over-expressed genes per group → communication probabilities → pathway signaling → network centrality (senders/receivers/influencers) → c...
Therapeutics Data Commons (TDC) AI-ready drug discovery datasets. Curated ADME, toxicity, DTI, DDI with scaffold/cold splits, standardized metrics, molecular oracles, and ADMET benchmarks for therapeutic ML and property prediction. For chemical database queries use chembl-database-bioactivity; fo...
