Literature Review
Overview
Conduct systematic, comprehensive literature reviews following rigorous academic methodology. Search multiple literature databases, synthesize findings thematically, verify all citations for accuracy, and generate professional output documents in markdown and PDF formats.
This skill integrates with multiple scientific skills for database access (gget, bioservices, datacommons-client) and provides specialized tools for citation verification, result aggregation, and document generation.
When to Use This Skill
Use this skill when:
- Conducting a systematic literature review for research or publication
- Synthesizing current knowledge on a specific topic across multiple sources
- Performing meta-analysis or scoping reviews
- Writing the literature review section of a research paper or thesis
- Investigating the state of the art in a research domain
- Identifying research gaps and future directions
- Requiring verified citations and professional formatting

datamol
Pythonic wrapper around RDKit with simplified interface and sensible defaults. Preferred for standard drug discovery: SMILES parsing, standardization, descriptors, fingerprints, clustering, 3D conformers, parallel processing. Returns native rdkit.Chem.Mol objects. For advanced control or custom parameters, use rdkit directly.
13deeptools
NGS analysis toolkit. BAM to bigWig conversion, QC (correlation, PCA, fingerprints), heatmaps/profiles (TSS, peaks), for ChIP-seq, RNA-seq, ATAC-seq visualization.
13cellxgene-census
Query CZ CELLxGENE Census (61M+ cells). Filter by cell type/tissue/disease, retrieve expression data, integrate with scanpy/PyTorch, for population-scale single-cell analysis.
13biomni
Autonomous biomedical AI agent framework for executing complex research tasks across genomics, drug discovery, molecular biology, and clinical analysis. Use this skill when conducting multi-step biomedical research including CRISPR screening design, single-cell RNA-seq analysis, ADMET prediction, GWAS interpretation, rare disease diagnosis, or lab protocol optimization. Leverages LLM reasoning with code execution and integrated biomedical databases.
13labarchive-integration
Electronic lab notebook API integration. Access notebooks, manage entries/attachments, backup notebooks, integrate with Protocols.io/Jupyter/REDCap, for programmatic ELN workflows.
12lamindb
This skill should be used when working with LaminDB, an open-source data framework for biology that makes data queryable, traceable, reproducible, and FAIR. Use when managing biological datasets (scRNA-seq, spatial, flow cytometry, etc.), tracking computational workflows, curating and validating data with biological ontologies, building data lakehouses, or ensuring data lineage and reproducibility in biological research. Covers data management, annotation, ontologies (genes, cell types, diseases, tissues), schema validation, integrations with workflow managers (Nextflow, Snakemake) and MLOps platforms (W&B, MLflow), and deployment strategies.
