Guided statistical analysis with test selection and reporting. Use when you need help choosing appropriate tests for your data, assumption checking, power analysis, and APA-formatted results. Best for academic research reporting, test selection guidance. For implementing specific models programmatically use statsmodels.

Domain-specialized chart generator for cell biology video analysis outputs. Consumes structured JSON from analyze_lab_video_cell_behavior or compatible sources and produces publication-ready figures — growth curves, cell trajectory maps, phenotype distribution charts, MSD plots, wound-closure timeseries, dose-response curves, and 96-well heatmaps — using matplotlib and seaborn. Exports PNG/PDF at configurable DPI for papers, ELN entries, or XR dashboards.

Perform comprehensive exploratory data analysis on scientific data files across 200+ file formats. This skill should be used when analyzing any scientific data file to understand its structure, content, quality, and characteristics. Automatically detects file type and generates detailed markdown reports with format-specific analysis, quality metrics, and downstream analysis recommendations. Covers chemistry, bioinformatics, microscopy, spectroscopy, proteomics, metabolomics, and general scientific data formats.

Production-ready VCF processing, variant annotation, mutation analysis, and structural variant (SV/CNV) interpretation for bioinformatics questions. Parses VCF files (streaming, large files), classifies mutation types (missense, nonsense, synonymous, frameshift, splice, intronic, intergenic) and structural variants (deletions, duplications, inversions, translocations), applies VAF/depth/quality/consequence filters, annotates with ClinVar/dbSNP/gnomAD/CADD via ToolUniverse, interprets SV/CNV clinical significance using ClinGen dosage sensitivity scores, computes variant statistics, and generates reports. Solves questions like "What fraction of variants with VAF < 0.3 are missense?", "How many non-reference variants remain after filtering intronic/intergenic?", "What is the pathogenicity of this deletion affecting BRCA1?", or "Which dosage-sensitive genes overlap this CNV?". Use when processing VCF files, annotating variants, filtering by VAF/depth/consequence, classifying mutations, interpreting structural variants, assessing CNV pathogenicity, comparing cohorts, or answering variant analysis questions.

Comprehensive structural variant (SV) analysis skill for clinical genomics. Classifies SVs (deletions, duplications, inversions, translocations), assesses pathogenicity using ACMG-adapted criteria, evaluates gene disruption and dosage sensitivity, and provides clinical interpretation with evidence grading. Use when analyzing CNVs, large deletions/duplications, chromosomal rearrangements, or any structural variants requiring clinical interpretation.

Computational analysis framework for spatial multi-omics data integration. Given spatially variable genes (SVGs), spatial domain annotations, tissue type, and disease context from spatial transcriptomics/proteomics experiments (10x Visium, MERFISH, DBiTplus, SLIDE-seq, etc.), performs comprehensive biological interpretation including pathway enrichment, cell-cell interaction inference, druggable target identification, immune microenvironment characterization, and multi-modal integration. Produces a detailed markdown report with Spatial Omics Integration Score (0-100), domain-by-domain characterization, and validation recommendations. Uses 70+ ToolUniverse tools across 9 analysis phases. Use when users ask about spatial transcriptomics analysis, spatial omics interpretation, tissue heterogeneity, spatial gene expression patterns, tumor microenvironment mapping, tissue zonation, or cell-cell communication from spatial data.

Analyze mass spectrometry proteomics data including protein quantification, differential expression, post-translational modifications (PTMs), and protein-protein interactions. Processes MaxQuant, Spectronaut, DIA-NN, and other MS platform outputs. Performs normalization, statistical analysis, pathway enrichment, and integration with transcriptomics. Use when analyzing proteomics data, comparing protein abundance between conditions, identifying PTM changes, studying protein complexes, integrating protein and RNA data, discovering protein biomarkers, or conducting quantitative proteomics experiments.

Analyze protein-protein interaction networks using STRING, BioGRID, and SASBDB databases. Maps protein identifiers, retrieves interaction networks with confidence scores, performs functional enrichment analysis (GO/KEGG/Reactome), and optionally includes structural data. No API key required for core functionality (STRING). Use when analyzing protein networks, discovering interaction partners, identifying functional modules, or studying protein complexes.

Analyze metabolomics data including metabolite identification, quantification, pathway analysis, and metabolic flux. Processes LC-MS, GC-MS, NMR data from targeted and untargeted experiments. Performs normalization, statistical analysis, pathway enrichment, metabolite-enzyme integration, and biomarker discovery. Use when analyzing metabolomics datasets, identifying differential metabolites, studying metabolic pathways, integrating with transcriptomics/proteomics, discovering metabolic biomarkers, performing flux balance analysis, or characterizing metabolic phenotypes in disease, drug response, or physiological conditions.
