jane-engine
Registry code: a36f7b1addc20a6a
Golden-validated sequence-science tools: cloning, primer and guide design, sequence optimization, assembly simulation, Sanger verification, qPCR and phylogenetics.
This server holds no project. Name the molecule to act on as `_subject`, by exactly one of: `sequence` (the bases), `accession` (+ `source`; `search_records` finds one), `sample` (a bundled file; `list_samples` lists them) or `file` ({name, text} or {name, base64}). A tool that needs one and is not given it refuses by name rather than guessing.

Price is per tool, not per server. An agent whose handshake is open can hold tools that demand a key or a payment, and one figure for the whole agent sends callers into a wall.
list_workflow_templates unknown never probed
The built-in starter workflows — id, name, what each does and which tools it chains. Pass an `id` to get that template’s graph back, ready to hand to `run_workflow`. This server is stateless, so these are the shipped templates only, not anything a person has saved in their own editor.

Would this workflow graph run? Returns the blocking errors — an unknown tool, a wire into a port that does not exist, a cycle — each naming the node and the port, without running anything.

Not cut sites: these need low ionic strength, high pH, Mn²⁺ for Mg²⁺, glycerol, DMSO or some detergents, and are what turns an over-digested reaction into a band pattern that reads as the wrong clone.

Whether the host's own methylation blocks the given enzymes ON THIS PLASMID, from REBASE's methylation-sensitivity tables localised onto your sites. The other term of the same reaction question `find_star_sites` answers. It is deliberately per-SITE and not per-enzyme: REBASE says Dam blocks ClaI, and pBR322's single ClaI site carries no overlapping GATC, so the enzyme-level warning does not apply there. An enzyme REBASE has never examined comes back `examined: false`, which is UNTESTED and never a clearance.

The reaction a digest needs, from NEB's own data: the NEBuffer that serves every enzyme together (scored on the WORST enzyme's percent activity, a star-activity buffer disqualified at any percent), the incubation temperature(s), any cofactor that must be added (SAM or ATP), and each product's heat-inactivation step, or the products NEB cannot heat-inactivate. One call is one tube: enzymes that need different temperatures or have no common buffer come back with `singleTube: false`. Needs no open record.

Turn a record into the SUBMISSION SET NCBI's `table2asn` consumes: a `.fsa` whose defline carries the source modifiers, and a 5-column feature table (`.tbl`) beside it. This is not a GenBank export — GenBank's submission pipeline takes neither a `.gb` nor a plain fasta. Its real work is REFUSING and MIGRATING what GenBank will not accept: twelve feature keys were retired in 2014 in favour of `regulatory` (promoter, terminator and RBS among them, so every plasmid map is affected), a qualifier not on a key's approved list is dropped by name, and an unapproved key is kept as a `misc_feature` carrying its original name. Since December 2024 GenBank has required `collection_date` and `geo_loc_name` on every submission, and both are validated here against the INSDC vocabularies BEFORE a file is written. It WRITES FILES and sends nothing: no account, no key, no upload — `table2asn` stays yours to run, and the submission template it also wants is yours to make.

Fold a set of oligos and check them against each other: every oligo's hairpin, its self-dimer anywhere and its self-dimer at the 3' end, plus the cross-dimer with every other oligo in the set, at any position and at a 3' end. This is primer3's `thal` — the same engine the Tm columns elsewhere use — so a pool can be screened before it is ordered rather than explained after a gel. The 3'-end measures are the ones that matter for a primer-dimer BAND, because only a paired 3' end extends. Works on any oligo: primers, probes, ssODN donors, guides, adapters.

Measure a sequence against what a NAMED synthesis vendor publishes it can make: length, average and windowed GC, homopolymer runs, tandem repeats, long repeats and hairpin-forming inverted repeats. Every threshold is the vendor's own, read from the vendor's own page with the date it was read, and every finding carries the span it is about so it can be drawn. It reports the limits that are MET as well as the ones exceeded, because a list of failures cannot tell a clean sequence from an unchecked one. It never predicts a synthesis outcome and never rules a sequence out: a vendor publishes what it supports, so being outside a published window is a conversation with the supplier, not a rejection.

Which Golden Braid / MoClo / Yeast ToolKit grammar, position and level the open plasmid represents (or null). Reads the record's own annotations, which is what lets an assembled transcription unit be recognised by its backbone half, and what lets a Level-0 module whose own backbone carries an extra site for the release enzyme be told from that backbone. Configured entry vectors are a Parts Bin concept and are NOT available here, so a TU sitting in a named acceptor is reported by its overhangs rather than by that acceptor's name.

Pairwise-align ONE sequencing read against a reference and hand on the two gapped rows, so the read can be graded. Needleman-Wunsch with free end gaps and the IUPAC substitution matrix — SeqTrace's aligner, the same call the trace editor makes, so a pipeline and the panel align a read identically.

Trim sequencing adapters and low-quality ends off FASTQ reads before mapping, and report what was removed. This is cutadapt's algorithm: quality trimming is BWA's running-sum rule (not a threshold - a single bad base in a good tail is absorbed, a real decline is not), and the adapter is found by semiglobal alignment allowing errors, so a PARTIAL adapter at the very end of a read is caught where a substring search would miss it. Quality trimming runs FIRST and adapter removal second, which is cutadapt's own order and changes the result when a low-quality tail is also the start of an adapter. THE REPORT ATTRIBUTES EVERY REMOVED BASE TO THE STEP THAT REMOVED IT, because losing 30% of your bases to quality means a bad sequencing run and losing it to adapter means a short insert - different problems that one total cannot distinguish. It does not map anything and does not filter reads: a read trimmed to nothing is returned empty and counted, never silently dropped.

Map sequencing reads (FASTQ or FASTA) or assembled contigs onto a reference and return the alignment as SAM, the file a pileup viewer, a variant caller or `samtools` reads next. This is minimap2 (minimizer seeds, chaining, banded dual-affine extension with inversion detection, MAPQ), ported and checked record for record against the minimap2 2.31 CLI under every `preset` it offers: Illumina short reads (`sr`, the default), RNA-seq across introns (`splice:sr` for short reads, `splice` and `splice:hq` for long RNA or cDNA, which also report every splice junction with its read support), Nanopore, PacBio HiFi and CLR, accurate long reads, Illumina Complete Long Reads, assemblies at three divergence levels, and all-vs-all read overlaps (`ava-pb`, `ava-ont`, where the reads are their own reference and the output is PAF). Give `mates` to map read pairs (`sr` and `splice:sr`): the two inputs pair record for record, mate 2 facing mate 1 (FR), and pairing lifts a mate placed in a repeat by its uniquely placed partner. Leave `reference` unset to map against the record this step runs on; a multi-record FASTA maps against every record.

Read the QC files a sequencing provider returns alongside the reads: a per-base COVERAGE table, or a Plasmidsaurus summary (k-mer composition and the contamination estimate with its named source). These are the numbers that say whether a disappointing read is the clone's fault or the run's — a base called wrong under 3x coverage is a sequencing problem, not a cloning one. For a coverage table it also measures the track's SHAPE, because a mean has none: a run averaging 200x with one uncovered region reads as excellent. The provider states one number and two shapes — 20x for an accurate consensus, and a large gap or a sudden large increase meaning an assembly issue or a mixture of plasmid species — so the longest stretch under the line and the largest change in level are both measured and located. How large is large is NOT a number they publish, and none is invented here: the shapes are reported and the call is the reader's.

Signal-peptidase cleavage sites in a protein, by von Heijne's (1986) weight matrix as implemented by EMBOSS sigcleave.

Predicts WHERE the cut would fall, not WHETHER the protein is secreted — a high score away from the N-terminus is a look-alike, not a secretion call.

Turn the open record's annotated targets into an ORDERABLE sgRNA oligo pool: the best N guides per target, filtered at order time (Pol-III terminator, Graf inactive motif, cloning-enzyme site, minimum on-target score), each composed into the oligo a synthesiser makes — the vector's cloning overhangs around the spacer plus, optionally, one of CRISPOR's eleven subpool barcodes. A spacer that serves two overlapping targets takes ONE well, and every candidate a filter held back is counted by reason, so a short pool says which rule shortened it. It designs a library; it does not analyse one. No recommended representation, MOI or read depth is embedded — the screen-scale arithmetic is in the editor panel, where the numbers are the user's.

Call HITS from a pooled CRISPR screen: per-guide read counts in, a gene-level Bayes factor and a precision/recall curve out. This is the other end of a screen from the pool designer — it reads what came back rather than deciding what to order. The estimator is BAGEL2 (Kim & Hart 2021), reproduced byte-for-byte against upstream, so a gene's Bayes factor here is the number BAGEL2 prints for the same counts. It is a COMPARISON against two reference gene sets, not an absolute fitness measure, and it reports how many of those reference genes the library actually carries, because a screen whose gene symbols do not match the reference sets trains on almost nothing and still returns a ranking. MAGeCK's alpha-RRA and drugZ are different statistics that disagree with this one on the same counts; neither is computed here, and a hit list must say which statistic produced it.

The complete build package for a knockout or knock-in, as one object: guides inside the target, an off-target census for the chosen one within this molecule, a repair template with real homology arms, a screening PCR whose primers sit OUTSIDE the arms, the protocol in order, the fragments and oligos to buy, and every coordinate ready for the map. Two donor modes: by default the arms sit on the cut (a point insertion — the target's own sequence is kept on both sides), and with `replace_target` the arms flank the whole target and it is deleted, which is the mode for replacing one CDS with another (an empty insert then deletes the target cleanly). It refuses rather than guessing: no PAM in the target, arms that run off a linear molecule, a screening amplicon that cannot clear the arms, or a non-DNA insert; and in the default mode it WARNS when an insert lands inside the target, because that is a fusion rather than a replacement. Arm length, screening flank and guide count are yours to state, because each follows the delivery method and the organism.

Screen guide spacers the way CHOPCHOP does before it accepts them: GC gate, self-complementary hairpins inside the spacer, and hairpins against the sgRNA backbone. A guide that folds onto its own scaffold is loaded into Cas9 poorly however good its on-target score is, so this is the check that explains a guide with a good score and no activity.

Returns counts and the aggregate specificity per spacer, never the sites themselves, so a few hundred spacers cost a few hundred rows rather than a few hundred thousand.

Fold a guide RNA — the spacer alone, and the whole sgRNA on a real published scaffold — and report which bases of the spacer pair with the scaffold. A spacer that base-pairs into the scaffold disrupts the structure Cas9 binds, which is a physical cause of a dead guide rather than a score. Every free energy is a minimum-free-energy fold under the Turner 2004 nearest-neighbour parameters, in kcal/mol, cross-checked against ViennaRNA 2.7.2.

Find the splice sites a sequence accidentally spells - the check a codon-optimised CDS needs before it goes into a plant or any other eukaryotic host, because a synonymous swap chosen for codon usage or GC can spell a donor or acceptor that was not there before, and the transcript is then spliced somewhere nobody intended. Every GT and AG is scored two ways that are NOT on one scale and are never combined: `maxEnt` is strength under Yeo & Burge's published maximum-entropy model, and `typicality` is log-odds against base frequencies MEASURED at the annotated splice sites of Arabidopsis thaliana TAIR10 (Ensembl Plants 63). IT RETURNS NO VERDICT and has no default threshold: neither model publishes a cutoff, so this RANKS candidates and what counts as dangerous is your call, with both numbers in front of you.

Find every place a transcription-factor binding motif (a position-frequency matrix, such as a JASPAR matrix's counts) matches a DNA sequence, on both strands, at a threshold set per motif as a fraction of that matrix's own score range. It is the scan the optimizer's avoid-motif specification counts, so the sites it lists are the ones an optimisation with that motif would remove. Each site carries its log-odds score and where that score falls in the matrix's range. A match is a sequence resemblance to the matrix, not evidence of binding.

Find σ70 (housekeeping) promoters in a bacterial sequence and say how strong each one is, using the published La Fleur-Hossain-Salis biophysical model - six interaction motifs (UP element, -35, spacer, extended -10, -10, discriminator) plus the R-loop strength of the first transcribed bases, fitted on 22,132 characterised promoters. THE NUMBER IS A FREE ENERGY AND MORE NEGATIVE IS STRONGER, which is the opposite direction from a score; the transcription rate beside it is the paper's own rate law over that energy. It answers "could RNA polymerase start here", not "does it": nothing here knows about regulators, supercoiling or growth phase. It is E. coli σ70 and says nothing about σ38/σ32/σ54 promoters or about another organism's polymerase.

Find rho-independent (intrinsic) transcription terminators in a bacterial sequence: a stem-loop followed by a thymine-rich tail, scored by TransTermHP's published model (Kingsford, Ayanbule & Salzberg 2007). TWO NUMBERS, BOTH LOWER IS STRONGER - how well the hairpin folds and how thymine-rich the tail is - and NEITHER IS A FREE ENERGY: they are costs in this model's own scheme and must not be compared with a promoter's ΔG or a Turner ΔG. This is the question behind a downstream gene in an operon that goes quiet: a cryptic terminator inside an insert stops transcription that was meant to continue. Rho-DEPENDENT termination needs the protein and is not a sequence motif this or any such model can see. Reports every candidate clearing the two published cutoffs; TransTermHP itself lists one per position after its own overlap filters, so it reports fewer for the same sequence - a difference in reporting, not in scoring. No confidence value is given: TransTermHP's is a lookup into a table calibrated by its own GPL tooling, which is not shipped rather than approximated.

How this region's codon usage compares with the record's OTHER genes (CUFS, Diament, Pinter & Tuller 2014). Every other codon score grades one sequence against a reference TABLE; this one grades two sequences against each other, so it stays available for an organism no authority covers. Answers 'does the gene I inserted use codons like the rest of this construct'.

Decide whether a sequence is scientifically admissible: protein unchanged, forbidden restriction sites absent, reading frame intact, length/GC/CAI inside stated bounds. Every verdict names what broke, where, and the remedy. Run this after any design or optimisation step, and stop the chain when `admissible` is false — never report a designed sequence without it.

The expression-design deliverable: several coding sequences for one protein, each variant following a different published strategy (maximise codon adaptation, match the host's codon usage, harmonise with the native host, or preserve the initiation region), each scored by an engine — CAI, GC, the folding energy of the Kudla -4..+37 initiation window, and rare codons. It returns the comparison rather than one answer, because the strategies disagree about what limits expression and the researcher picks. Refuses a frame-shifted CDS, an internal stop or a missing host table rather than optimising nonsense.

Read the consensus RNA secondary structure a Stockholm alignment states in its `#=GC SS_cons` line (WUSS, the notation Rfam and Infernal write), and measure how well the aligned rows actually support it. Reports the base pairs, what each unpaired column is (hairpin, bulge, multifurcation, external, insertion, local end), and per pair the fraction of rows whose two bases form a canonical or GU wobble pair. Use it to check whether a family's published structure is borne out by the sequences, or to pull a pair table out of an alignment for drawing. Reading only, and it REFUSES a Pfam alignment by name: `SS_cons` is two alphabets, and Pfam writes protein DSSP states in the same field, where C/H/E are pseudoknot letters in WUSS — parsing one as the other would invent base pairs for a protein.

All-against-all dot plot over a sequence SET — EMBOSS `polydot`. Every ordered pair is plotted with the exact k-mer engine and laid out as an N×N grid, so shared regions, repeats and inversions across a whole family are visible in one picture. Answers a different question from `dot_plot`, which compares exactly two: this one ranks which members share material and how much. Wire many upstream record/sequence outputs into `sequences`, or name library documents.

Choose the substitution model for a maximum-likelihood phylogeny by fitting every candidate — model x rate-heterogeneity x invariant-sites — on ONE shared topology and ranking them by AIC, AICc or BIC with Akaike weights. Fitting on a shared topology is the point: a model test that also searched topologies would vary two things at once, and a log-likelihood measured on a different tree answers a different question. Wire the winning model into build_tree's `ml_model`.

Draw a tree as an SVG figure — rectangular, slanted, circular or unrooted, as a phylogram or a cladogram, with tip names, branch support and a scale bar. The same layout the phylogeny panel draws with, so the figure and the panel place every node identically. Wire `newick` from build_tree or edit_tree.

Convert a tree between the four formats this workbench reads and writes — Newick, NEXUS, PhyloXML and NeXML — sniffing the input format rather than making the caller declare it.

A Scorpion probe's two melting temperatures, side by side: the stem-loop's own hairpin and the duplex the loop makes with its target on the amplicon. A Scorpion is a primer carrying a stem-loop probe on a non-amplifiable blocker (Whitcombe 1999), and it reports by the loop finding its target and pulling the stem apart - so the design question is a RELATION between those two structures, not a property of either. Returns both temperatures, their difference, the stem's GC, and a verdict against WHATEVER margin you pass. It does not apply a margin of its own authority: the widely-quoted 5-10 °C figure comes from one design tool's tech note and has no primary citation, so the default is labelled as that rule of thumb and every result says which margin produced its verdict.

Chem. 2026, 98(12):9089-9101): thirteen species, four phases per cycle, mass-action annealing integrated as a stiff ODE, with primer-dimer formation and amplicon re-annealing competing for the primers. It is SINGLEPLEX, which is the paper's own stated limit and not an omission here - one target per run, no interassay competition. Two things it needs said about their provenance every time they are quoted: the primer-dimer free energy is upstream's NUPACK quantity and primer3's `thal` is explicitly NOT a substitute for it, and the association rate constants are one assay's FITTED values reused, not physical constants.

Which candidate reference gene is actually stable, ranked by all four published algorithms at once plus the RefFinder consensus: geNorm (pairwise variation M), NormFinder (intra/inter-group variance), BestKeeper (SD of raw Cq and correlation to the index) and the comparative delta-Ct method. They disagree on real plates, which is the point of running them side by side; the consensus is the geometric mean of the four ranks. Also returns geNorm's pairwise variation V(n/n+1), whose 0.15 cutoff is what says HOW MANY genes to normalise to.

Digital PCR (dPCR) partition counts to absolute concentration, with no standard curve. Positives and accepted partitions become lambda = -ln(1 - k/n), lambda becomes copies per uL through the partition volume and the dilution chain, and the confidence interval is carried on the lambda scale under any of eleven published binomial interval methods. Returns the dMIQE-2020 occupancy QC beside every reading, so a well with no positives, or one saturated past 95% occupancy, is reported as such rather than as a number.

Two-channel ddPCR droplet-amplitude exports to a template concentration, by CLASSIFYING the raw droplets rather than trusting a count the instrument already made. Four steps in a fixed order, each of which needs the previous one's output: a k-means quality check marks wells whose two droplet clusters are not separable, a plate-wide 1%-slice IQR cutoff marks outlier droplets, a two-component Gaussian mixture per well per channel sets the empty-droplet cutoff on the droplets that survive, and the empty fraction inverts through the Poisson zero term to copies/uL. Reports the cluster the droplets landed in and the reason any well was rejected, so a failed well reads as rejected rather than as a concentration. This is the counterpart of `quantify_dpcr`, not a duplicate: that one starts from per-well positive COUNTS an instrument already classified, this one starts from the amplitudes and does the classifying.

ddPCR droplet amplitudes to populations. For TWO targets, a four-way classification — NN, NP, PN, PP — under any of THREE published methods that answer different questions and none of which is a fallback for another. `grid` applies eight fixed thresholds: reproducible and auditable, the only one that does not move when the data does, and the only one that needs someone to have chosen the numbers. `kmeans` clusters both channels at once and names the clusters by where they sit, so it adapts to the well, and it CANNOT abstain because k-means partitions everything. `knn` classifies against a well you have already labelled and abstains into `Rain` when the neighbour vote is weaker than a floor you set, so it is the only one that can decline per droplet. They disagree on the droplets between the populations, and that disagreement is the honest measure of how much an answer rests on the method rather than on the data. Distinct from `gate_droplets`, which asks whether a droplet is EMPTY per channel and ends in a concentration; this asks which of four populations it belongs to. For ONE to FOUR targets multiplexed by amplitude, ddPCRclust names up to sixteen populations from the primary clusters and reports each target's copies per droplet, by any of three first clusterings or their consensus: `density` places the primaries from density gates, `samspectral` from spectral clustering of a faithful sample, `flowpeaks` from the density peaks k-means clusters climb to, and `ensemble` (ddPCRclust's own default) runs all three and keeps the partition that agrees most with the others, with their mean corrected Rand index as the confidence. A plate of exports with ddPCRclust's run template is classified well by well and can be normalised to a constant control.

Melt curves to melting temperature, under any of THREE engines that answer different questions and none of which is a fallback for another. `plate` (RDML-Python) normalises, derives twice, calls the peaks of -dF/dT and CLASSIFIES them against the target's expected Tm into per-reaction verdicts — one peak in the window is the product, an extra peak is an artifact or a primer dimer, no peak at all is a reaction that did not amplify; it is the only engine that produces a verdict. `vertex` (MBmca diffQ) fits a quadratic near the extremum and reports its vertex, so the Tm is NOT one of the sampled temperatures — the only sub-grid answer. `curve` (qpcR) does no plate normalisation and gives no verdicts, but reports every melting peak with the AREA under it. Replicate spread travels with all three, because it describes the readings rather than the method.

Uncertainty through any qPCR quantity, three independent ways at once. Give it the expression you actually report - a ratio, a normalised expression, an efficiency-corrected quantity - and a mean and standard deviation for each variable in it (or the replicate observations themselves), and it returns the analytic Taylor propagation, a Monte-Carlo simulation and a permutation resampling side by side, because they disagree in informative ways: the Taylor arm is exact only for a linear expression, and a ratio is not linear. Also reports the derivative per variable and how much of the total variance each one contributes, which is the answer to "which measurement should I make more precisely?".

Resampling error bars on ONE reaction's Cq. A Cq is read off a fitted model, so its uncertainty is how tightly the observations pin that model down - which propagating a measured spread cannot answer. This refits the curve a few hundred times, either by resampling its residuals or by leaving observations out, and reports the spread of everything the fit produces: every model coefficient, the Cq under each definition, the efficiency and the initial fluorescence, each with the quantiles of the iterations rather than a normal approximation, so an asymmetric interval means the estimate genuinely is asymmetric. Reproduces qpcR 1.4.2's `pcrboot`.

Power and sample size for a planned experiment: how many replicates a test needs to detect an effect, or what power, detectable effect or significance level a design that is already fixed gives. Leave ONE quantity out with `solve_for` and it is solved; everything else is given. Thirteen tests in two families: Cohen's standardised effect sizes (pwr 1.3-0: t one/two-sample/paired and unequal n, one and two proportions by arcsine h, normal mean, correlation, chi-square w, one-way ANOVA f, linear-model f²) and raw units (R's power.t.test from a difference and SD, power.prop.test from two proportions, power.anova.test from variances). Every number is R's, reproduced: the solved value is uniroot's root at R's tolerance, and an unreachable target is refused with R's own message. Returns the power curve around the answer and the R call that reproduces it.

The effect a power calculation needs, measured from a pilot instead of guessed: two groups of one measurement in a table, standardised as Hedges' g (default), Cohen's d or Glass's Δ with its noncentral-t confidence interval (effectsize 1.0.3, reproduced), and the two-sample t design sized at the estimate and at the interval limit nearest zero. A column can be subtracted row by row first (a reference gene's Ct, giving delta-Ct). Returns the `design` calculate_power takes: Cohen's d for the `t` test, the raw difference and SD for `t_raw`.

Sample size and power for an RNA-seq comparison of two groups, one gene at a time: the biological replicates per group needed to detect a fold change at a given sequencing depth and within-group coefficient of variation, or the power, detectable fold change, CV or α a fixed design gives. Leave one of n, cv, effect, alpha and power out (or name it in `solve_for`). Every quantity takes a list, and the answer is the whole grid, so depth against replicates is one call.

How many biological replicates an RNA-seq experiment needs when the question is about the WHOLE experiment rather than one gene: the exact negative-binomial test with the per-gene α derived from a target false discovery rate across m genes of which m1 are expected to move (RnaSeqSampleSize 2.23.0, Zhao et al. 2018; the test is Robinson & Smyth 2008's, edgeR's exactTest), or the AVERAGE power across genes whose effects differ, with the FDR controlled (ssizeRNA 1.3.3, Bi & Liu 2016). Give `solve_for` n to size the experiment or power to score a design. With `counts` and `dispersions` from a pilot, the power is computed per gene over that real distribution rather than for one idealised gene. Unlike calculate_rnaseq_power this makes no normal approximation, so it is the one to use at small n or low counts.

Compare EVERY assembly chemistry this engine has against one set of parts, and say what each one costs and risks. It runs them all, keeps the ones that really produce a construct, and reports the rest with the refusal the chemistry itself gave — so 'Golden Gate is the only way to build this, and its overhangs ligate correctly 99.8% of the time' is one step rather than six runs and a spreadsheet. There is deliberately no single 'best' score: combining the criteria needs weights nobody has settled, and the one criterion every published ranking leads with (cost) has no price this app can honestly cache.

Cut and ligate in ONE POT (pydna restriction_ligation_assembly): every input is digested by the same enzymes inside the reaction and the pieces are joined as they appear, so a junction that re-forms a recognition site can be cut again. This is the reaction Golden Gate is a special case of, and it is a different chemistry from ligate_fragments, which digests first and then ligates whatever the digest left. Reports how many sites of the FIRST enzyme each product still carries — a finished construct has none.

Reduce a whole TABLE column to one number — the largest band, the median guide score, the spread of a set of melting temperatures. This is what makes a CROSS-ROW check expressible: `check_rows` can only assert the same thing of every row, so "the largest fragment is at least twice the smallest" needed two summaries and a comparison and had nowhere to come from. Name a `group_field` and it summarizes each group instead of the whole table (the mean product size per template), emitting a table a gate can then check group by group; pick a pairwise operation and it relates two columns of the same rows.

Read a structure file — PDB, PDBx/mmCIF, or a core CIF small-molecule crystal structure — and report what is in it: the chains and what kind each is, their sequences, the ligands and ordered solvent, the disulfides, the residues the depositor declared modified, the temperature-factor range, the unit cell and space group, the resolution and the experiment. Use it to answer what a structure IS before deciding what to do with it, or to pull a chain's sequence out of a structure so it can be aligned, back-translated or ordered. Reading only: it never writes a structure file and never applies symmetry, so every count it reports is a count of what the file actually holds — for a core CIF that is the asymmetric unit, not the whole cell.

Name the CONSTANT region of an antibody chain: which immunoglobulin gene and allele it carries (IGHG1, IGHA2, IGKC, IGLC2 …), and where each IMGT domain sits on it — CH1, the hinge, CH2, CH3, the secretory tail and the membrane exons, or the single C region of a light chain. A domain search says 'a C1-set immunoglobulin domain'; this says which isotype it is.

Type the ANTIBODY-ANTIGEN INTERFACE of a deposited complex: which residue of each antibody chain touches which residue of the antigen, how close, and what kind of interaction each pair makes - ionic, polar, weak polar, hydrophobic, aromatic, carbonyl, or a disulfide. The antigen is found rather than named: a protein chain with no immunoglobulin variable domain is the thing being bound. Geometric definitions are CREDO's as Arpeggio implements them, graded contact-for-contact against pdbe-arpeggio. `polar` is the hydrogen-bond criterion WITHOUT the donor angle, because a crystal structure carries no hydrogens; it is the superset an angle test would filter, and no angle-checked hydrogen bond is claimed.

Sweep a set of sequences against every exact recognition site in the NEB catalogue and report the sites each one carries far less (avoided) or far more (enriched) often than a stated null predicts, with the false discovery rate controlled across every (sequence, site) test. Avoidance is evidence of the restriction–modification systems a lineage has lived with, and a site a design can rely on being rare. Three nulls: base composition (order-0, Poisson); k-let-preserving shuffles (uShuffle), which holds dinucleotide skews such as CpG depletion in the null rather than reporting them as findings; and R'MES's maximal-order Markov model, the standard in published avoidance analyses, which judges a site of length k against the record's own (k−1)-mers so only what those cannot explain is reported.

Score every coding sequence of a genome against the genome's own codon usage and report the genes whose synonymous codon choice that average does not explain, with the false discovery rate controlled across the genes. Records from different files are different genomes: each is scored against its own file's usage, and the false discovery rate is controlled once across every gene of every genome. Each gene gets Karlin's B and Supek & Vlahoviček's MILC against the pooled usage of the genes, and a G-test of its codon choice within each amino acid against that usage (χ², degrees of freedom from the amino acids it uses). Outliers are typically highly expressed genes (ribosomal proteins are the most deviant class), genes of unusual composition, and some of foreign origin; an outlier is NOT evidence of horizontal transfer, since codon bias is a poor indicator of transfer.

Ask whether some loci of a multi-locus alignment have a different history from the rest, by the incongruence length difference test (Farris et al. 1994). Each locus is one aligned FASTA file (or a set of wired alignment rows) over the same taxa, named alike in every file. D is the extra parsimony steps one shared tree costs over each locus's own tree; the null deals the same columns into parts of the same sizes at random. One global test over every locus, and one per locus against all the others combined, with the false discovery rate controlled across loci. A locus that recombined or was transferred costs steps when forced onto the others' tree, but so does a locus evolving at a different rate (Darlu & Lecointre 2002), so a call is a candidate for a tree comparison, never a recombination call. Lengths are NNI parsimony searches from each alignment's own neighbour-joining tree. Cost: a run is 1 + k + k·n + k·(1 + 2n) searches for k loci and n permutations, and a search grows fast with taxa: the default 99 permutations over seven Neisseria MLST loci took 23 s on 12 strains, 48 s on 16 and 122 s on 20, and one search of the 62-strain concatenation takes about 8 s, so 62 strains is hours. Each file is one locus; records wired with no file are grouped by the part of their name before ` · `.

Ask whether a reference-gene stability ranking holds across conditions, and which candidate genes rank well everywhere rather than in one tissue or treatment. Each condition (the Group column of a long-format Cq table) is ranked by geNorm on its own samples; the conditions are then the blocks of a Friedman test and Kendall's W says how far they agree (0 independent orders, 1 the same order everywhere), with an asymptotic χ² p and a Monte Carlo p from shuffling each condition's ranks. Returns every gene's rank in every condition, its mean rank (the meta-ranking) and its best and worst. geNorm cannot order its two most stable genes, so they share rank 1.5 in every condition. Use `rank_reference_genes` for one condition's ranking by all four algorithms.

Test a hypothesis that a gene drives a phenotype ("gene G regulates IL-2 production") the way POPPER does: each evidence table is one falsification test, an implication of the hypothesis that a gene-level score could contradict (expression in the relevant tissue, association with related disease, interaction with genes annotated to the process). Under the null that G is exchangeable with any gene the tables score, G's p in each table is the share of genes scoring at or beyond it; each p is calibrated to the e-value κ·p^(κ−1), the e-values are multiplied in the order given, and the hypothesis passes when the product exceeds 1/α. The product is a valid e-value only when the tests are independent under the null, so the run also reports the joint p: the product's own share among every gene's product, valid whatever the tables' dependence. Returns every test's score, rank, p, e and running product, the test after which the product first crossed 1/α, and the joint p. Each table is `gene<TAB>score` with one header line; the gene must be in every table.

Measure how often a corpus of maps carries a cryptic σ70 promoter, a cryptic splice site or a synthesis-breaking repeat MORE EXTREME THAN CHANCE, rather than how many it carries. Every map of a few kilobases spells promoters, splice donors and repeats, so a raw hit count measures length and composition; here each map's own extreme (its most negative promoter ΔG, its highest MaxEntScan donor and acceptor score, its longest homopolymer, tandem repeat, repeated stretch and hairpin arm) is scored against k-let-preserving shuffles of that same map, and the false discovery rate is controlled across the corpus within each statistic. No statistic uses a threshold: none of the three models publishes one, and a vendor's repeat limit is a product's capability, which `check_manufacturability` answers instead. The result is a per-statistic rate with an exact binomial interval, plus every map's own test. Cost is dominated by the σ70 scan at roughly a third of a second per map per shuffle, so a corpus of maps at the default 99 shuffles is minutes of work; drop `flags` to the statistics you need to make it cheaper.

Find the genes whose own alignment rejects the species tree. Each named alignment file is one gene, its records the taxa, named as the species tree's tips. For every gene the species tree and each of its nearest-neighbour rearrangements (two per internal branch) is fitted by maximum likelihood under GTR + Γ (rates, base frequencies and shape fitted on the species tree, branch lengths refitted on each rearrangement), and the Shimodaira–Hasegawa test asks whether the species tree is significantly worse than the best of them; the false discovery rate is controlled across genes. A rejection says the gene fits another tree better: incomplete lineage sorting does that to a share of genes among closely spaced species, and so do hidden paralogy, alignment error and transfer, so it is a gene to read, never a call of any one of them. Also reports which genes' best tree is not the species tree, rejected or not, and which alternative trees they choose. Graded against phangorn's pml, optim.pml and SH.test on 122 great-ape genes.

Check a published PCR or sequencing assay against the sequences that are circulating now: for each oligo, where its best binding site is in each genome, how many positions mismatch, and whether a mismatch sits in the 3′ end a polymerase has to extend through. It answers the question an assay's age raises — the design was made against the genomes available on the day, and the target has drifted under it since — as a RATE per oligo with an exact binomial interval, plus the mismatch count at each position of the oligo, which is the shape a manufacturer's own in-silico inclusivity table takes. IUPAC codes in an oligo are read as the breadth its designers meant, so a position a code covers is never a mismatch; a site overlapping ambiguous bases in a submitted assembly is missing data and leaves that genome out of that oligo's denominator rather than counting as a match or a mismatch. A probe gets no 3′-end rate, because it is not extended. Graded against EMBOSS fuzznuc on every oligo of twelve published SARS-CoV-2 assays over 400 genomes.

Check every annotated CDS of one or more GenBank maps against its own bases and genetic code: a frame that does not close (frameshift), a stop inside the reading frame, a first codon the code cannot start with, a last codon that is not a stop, and a /translation the bases do not give. A partial end (< or >) is not judged, and a /pseudo CDS carries no flag. Where an annotation ends without a stop it reads on in frame (round the origin of a circular map) to the first stop and says how many codons that adds, whether it runs into another annotated CDS (a fusion annotated in pieces) and the read-through a random backbone of the same composition would give. Extraction and translation match Biopython on all 1,871 CDS of 695 NCBI vector records.

Put a hypothesis of the form "gene G is involved in trait T" through POPPER-style sequential falsification on two public tables, each test fixed in advance and run in a fixed order. (1) GTEx v8 expression: either G's co-expression across the 54 tissues with the trait's own gene(s), such as IL2 for IL-2 production, or G's expression in named tissues against its own elsewhere. (2) The GWAS Catalog: how many studies place an association inside G for traits in the named GWAS Catalog categories. Each p is G's rank among the 19,107 protein-coding genes GTEx measures, so it is exact under the null that G is just another gene, with no model of how expression or GWAS hits are distributed. Each p becomes an e-value (κ calibrator), the running product is the evidence, and testing stops at the first product above 1/α, which is POPPER's own sequential stop. Benchmarked on POPPER's TargetVal (Schmidt et al. 2022 CRISPR screens): it holds Type-I below α and has far less power than an agent writing its own tests, because two tables answer fewer questions; the result says which tests were run and what each could and could not show.

Ask whether the genes used to normalise expression (reference or housekeeping genes, such as GAPDH, ACTB or B2M) are more or less variable across human tissues than genes of the same abundance, on GTEx v8 median expression. Each candidate's standard deviation of log2(TPM + pseudocount) across the chosen tissues is ranked among the genes nearest it in mean expression (1,000 by default, from the 19,107 protein-coding genes GTEx measures), giving one p for 'more variable than its peers' and one for 'steadier', each corrected across the candidates. The four rankers the field runs (geNorm M, NormFinder, BestKeeper, comparative ΔCt, and RefFinder's consensus) also order the candidates against each other, reading the tissues as samples. A ranker always finds a most stable gene; the null says whether any candidate is stable at all. Tissue medians hide the variation between people within a tissue, so this answers 'across tissues', not 'across samples of one tissue'.

Find the signal peptides or transmembrane segments in reviewed human UniProt that a sequence predictor contradicts. Each feature backed by experiment (evidence code ECO:0000269) is scored to say what a confirmed feature looks like to the predictor; every other feature, annotated from similarity, sequence analysis or a rule, is ranked among those scores, and its conformal p-value (1 + experimental features scoring at or below it) / (experimental + 1) is corrected across all of them. Signal, by either predictor: von Heijne's weight-matrix score (EMBOSS sigcleave) of the cleavage site UniProt annotates, or DeepSig's probability that the protein carries a signal peptide at all (its eukaryotic network ensemble, from the first 96 residues). Transmembrane: the share of the segment the HMM-TM topology model labels membrane helix. A contradiction is a disagreement between two models, to be read, not a correction of UniProt: von Heijne's matrix and the HMM-TM model are weaker than the SignalP and TMHMM runs behind most such annotations; DeepSig is of their generation. The result carries a self-check, half the experimental features tested against the other half, whose calls are all false by construction.

Rank candidate experiments by what running them would TEACH — Lindley's expected information gain, the drop in uncertainty about a hypothesis expected before anything is run. Three grains: `tests` ranks candidate falsification tests against the beliefs a discovery ledger holds, each with the posterior its two outcomes would leave, by gain and separately by gain per unit cost; `measurements` says what n readings of a normal quantity would teach, and how many it takes to reach a target; `trials` says the same for a rate held as a Beta. A gain is what a result would settle whichever way it lands — never evidence that a hypothesis is true, which stays with the ledger's e-values.

Each registered test then runs once over the corpus, every answering result is attached as a κ-calibrated e-value (evidence from another test, a changed parameter or the same data twice is refused and reported), and e-BH decides over all hypotheses, those without evidence included. Returns the verdicts, the whole ledger as a file that imports into the Hypothesis Ledger, every run's input, the refusals, and the literature query each supported hypothesis needs before it may be called new. Pass a previous ledger with posterior beliefs to get the follow-up order by Bayesian surprise, which ranks what to test next and never changes a verdict. Also returns the whole programme as a sealed run file (every corpus input pinned by SHA-256, the last attempt at each hypothesis); pass it back as `run` to add hypotheses and retry the ones whose test failed, or to research_run_status and resume_research_run. Evidence that read one source (one table, or one sequence under two names) is averaged, not multiplied, and each verdict names the rule.

Withdraw a research run's pending hypotheses (all of them, or the ones named) so no resume runs them, and return the sealed run file. Nothing is deleted: a cancelled hypothesis stays registered and still counts in e-BH with e 1, because it was registered before any result and dropping it would raise the others' chance of support after the fact. Answered and settled hypotheses cannot be cancelled. To stop a run that is advancing in budgeted slices, stop calling resume_research_run; cancel when the pending hypotheses should never run.

What can run next, and what each next step would add. Give it a tool whose run just finished (or the output types in hand) and it returns the tools whose own declared inputs those outputs fill, each with the parameter the wire lands on, the question that tool answers, its limits, what grades it, whether it is seeded, asynchronous, writing or leaving the machine, and which of the data files it reads the run in hand already read — so a step that would re-read the same table can be told from one that brings independent evidence. Ask for a `target_type` and it returns the shortest chains of tools that reach it. The hand-offs are the workflow builder's own port graph, so a step it names is a wire the builder would draw.

Put the features from a GTF in this project onto the open record. A GTF lists features and their positions and carries no sequence, so this is how one reaches a molecule. It REFUSES unless something says the two are in the same coordinate space: if the file names a genome build and the record names the same one it proceeds; if they name different ones it refuses outright; if either is silent it refuses until you pass coordinates_only, which states that you are applying the intervals as positions in this record's own numbering with no genome correspondence checked.

Frequency of optimal codons (Fop, Ikemura 1981) for an in-frame CDS against a real codon-usage table: what share of its codons are the ones a highly-expressed gene in that host would use. Where CAI scores how CLOSE each codon is to its family's best, Fop scores only whether it IS one of the best, which makes it comparable across genes of different amino-acid composition.

Fetch a real codon-usage table for an organism and save it into this project, so later steps can score against it by name.

Find known SNPs under primers, the check NCBI Primer-BLAST makes with "Primer binding site may not contain known SNP". The template is placed on the UCSC assembly it was cut from, and the placement is proved by comparing the assembly's own sequence with the template; dbSNP 155 is then read over that span from the UCSC Genome Browser, and every primer is reported with the SNPs under it and each one's distance from the 3' end. `excluded` is the SNP spans in the form design_primer_pairs takes, to design around them. The template's sequence does not leave the machine; the assembly, chromosome and span are sent to UCSC.

Check primer pairs for products off their template, the way NCBI Primer-BLAST does, and rank them by it: each distinct primer is searched against a sequence database at EMBL-EBI with short-query BLAST, hits are paired into products by Primer-BLAST's own mismatch rule, and the template is searched too so the record identical to it is recognized as the intended target. Pairs with no product elsewhere rank first, in the order given, then pairs not checked, then pairs with a named unintended product. Primer sequences and the template LEAVE THE MACHINE; the database is a collection, not an assembled genome, and cannot be filtered by organism.

Resolve an organism to its published genome assemblies and the chromosomes, plasmids and organelles each one is made of, with every accession and length NCBI reports. This is how a pipeline starts from a SPECIES rather than from an accession somebody looked up by hand: hand the replicon accession it returns to fetch_record, with a region, to pull a window of that chromosome. Assemblies come back reference-first, so the default pick is the canonical genome.

Compare a SET of sequencing reads against one reference in ONE shared frame: align every read to the reference, vote a consensus column by column, and report the positions where the reads differ from it, each with the change it makes to the protein. This is the whole-plate answer that grading reads one at a time cannot give — a variant is accepted only when every covering read agrees, so a single bad call does not become a mutation.

The UNPROCESSED signal of a Sanger trace: how many scans the instrument recorded, where each channel's baseline sits, the peak raw value, and how many scans analysis discarded off the front as dye front. This separates an instrument problem from an analysis problem — a read whose analyzed trace looks wrong while its raw channels are clean was mis-analyzed, not mis-run, and a baseline spread far above the others names the channel responsible. ABIF only: SCF and ZTR store no raw channels, and this refuses rather than substituting the processed ones.

Draw a window of a Sanger read as an SVG figure: the four dye traces over their called bases, the per-base Phred bars and a base ruler. The same geometry the Chromatogram tab draws with, so the figure and the tab put every peak in the same place.

Trim a Sanger read's low-quality ends, by either of the two methods that answer different questions: the instrument's own Mott record as written into the file, or a sliding mean-Phred window computed here. Returns the kept interval as 1-based inclusive bounds, and the mean quality of what it KEPT beside the mean of what it DISCARDED — the pair that says whether the trim was worth making, because a trim whose discarded ends score no worse than the bases it left has shortened the read for nothing.

Merge one or two Sanger reads into a consensus with the ported SeqTrace caller. With two reads (typically a forward and a reverse of the same amplicon) an IUPAC ambiguity code marks a position the two DISAGREE about; with one read there is nothing to disagree with and a code marks a position where no single base cleared the confidence bar. Returns the consensus, how many positions are ambiguous, and how many the consensus's own trimming stage cut from the ends.

Quantify a CRISPR edit from a pair of Sanger traces — how much of the population was edited, what the indel spectrum looks like, and how well the model fits. Synthego ICE: the CONTROL trace gives the unedited sequence, the EDITED trace is decomposed into a mixture of proposed indels around each guide's cut, and the abundances are fitted.

Quantify a CRISPR edit from a pair of Sanger traces by TIDE (Brinkman et al.) — the abundance of each indel SIZE in the sequenced population, with a p-value per size class, the total editing efficiency, the goodness of fit, and the base composition of the +1 insertion. This is a different question from crispr_quantify_edits, not a cheaper version of it: ICE fits a mixture of whole proposed alleles and names them, TIDE fits the control trace shifted by n bases and so reports how much of the population shifted by n, whatever allele carried it. Run both on the same pair when the two disagree about how much was edited — that disagreement is information about the read.

Quantify BASE EDITING from a single Sanger trace, with no control read — the EditR method (Kluesner et al. 2018), ported and graded against the authors' own R. A base editor makes no double-strand break and no indel, so it is invisible to ICE and TIDE: the edit is a C→T or A→G inside the protospacer that shows up only as a second peak under the called base. This models the trace's OWN background from the positions outside the guide, then p-values every base of the guide against it. Emits the significant calls, so a pipeline can gate on whether editing happened and at which position.

Ask whether a Sanger trace splits into TWO READS OF DIFFERENT LENGTH, which is what a heterozygous insertion or deletion does: clean up to the indel, then a superposition of two sequences offset by its length. This is not mixed-base calling — that asks whether two BASES sit at one position and is blind to a length difference. Emits where the split starts, how long it is, and the two allele sequences the trace deconvolves into, so a pipeline can gate on the answer or carry either allele onward.

Call the bases of a Sanger trace from the signal, discarding the instrument's calls and deriving the bases, their positions and their quality from the peaks. The read can come back a DIFFERENT LENGTH than the file's. This ANSWERS the question; `adopt_trace_calls` is what puts the answer onto the read.

Call the bases of a Sanger trace AND ask at every position whether a second allele is present, writing a two-base IUB code (R, Y, S, W, K, M) where it is. `mode: het` assumes the two alleles are present in equal amounts, which is the diploid heterozygote case; `mode: mix` assumes nothing about their ratio, for a mixed template, a contaminated read or a pooled sample. The two disagree: on this repo's own corpus they differ on 348 of 5,605 calls. Also returns the ALTERNATIVE calls the search considered and rejected.

Replace a Sanger read's own base calls with TraceTuner's, on the trace that is open, so the rest of the editor works from the re-called read: its sequence, its consensus, its verification against a reference, and every export. The signal is untouched — this is the same electropherogram with a second opinion about where the bases are — and every coordinate already on the read is carried across the peaks it sits on, so a trim window, a hand-corrected call and an annotation all follow. Reports what moved and what could not be placed. Use `call_bases_from_trace` instead to ASK what the re-call says without changing the read.

Put an open Sanger read back on the base calls its FILE carries, undoing an adopted re-call. The same carry runs in the other direction, so the trim window, the hand-corrected calls and the annotations come back with it rather than being left on indices the file does not have. Not the same as clearing the read's edits, which also discards the trim and the manual calls.

Write a Sanger read out in any of the eight formats the trace editor's Export section offers, and hand the file back as TEXT in the pipeline rather than as a download. Reports what the chosen target DROPPED — a read written as FASTA loses its annotations, and every target but FASTQ loses the per-base quality — because those losses are invisible in the file itself.

RPS-BLAST a protein against NCBI's Conserved Domain Database (CDD) or one of its member collections (Pfam, SMART, COG, KOG, PRK, TIGR, NCBI-curated), through NCBI Batch CD-Search. Returns every domain hit with its hit type (specific, non-specific, superfamily, multi-domain), residue span, E-value, bit score, CDD accession, superfamily cluster and whether the alignment stops short of either end of the model. This is the rpsblast program. Give `protein`, or give `dna` to send its six reading frames as six proteins (per-frame CD-Search: each E-value is for its own frame, which is not rpstblastn; rpstblastn_smart runs rpstblastn itself on this machine).

Short linear motifs in a protein: degrons, docking sites, targeting signals, cleavage and modification sites — the three-to-eleven-residue functional sites a profile-HMM domain scan cannot see. Runs ELM's own class patterns ON THIS MACHINE; only the class table is fetched. Applies ELM's context filters: the chance-probability cutoff, family selection, and the globular-domain filter when you pass domains. It does NOT scan for DOMAINS — for those call scan_protein_domains, which submits to EMBL-EBI InterProScan and returns `domains` in exactly the form this tool's `domains` parameter takes.

Score CRISPR guides with DeepSpCas9 (Kim et al. 2019, Sci Adv 5:eaax9249): a predicted INDEL FREQUENCY IN PERCENT for wild-type SpCas9. It is a third quantity, not a second opinion: Rule Set 3 is a z-score across a screen and DeepHF is an efficiency in [0, 1], so none of the three may be averaged or ranked together. Takes the 30-nt CONTEXT the model reads whole (4 nt + 20-nt spacer + 3-nt PAM + 3 nt), which is what `crispr_design_guides` reports as `context30`; a 23-nt protospacer is not enough and comes back null rather than padded. Unlike DeepHF it does NOT require a canonical NGG PAM, because its training library was not NGG-only. The output is the network's own linear value and is left unclipped, so a context it scores below zero reads below zero. THE WEIGHTS DOWNLOAD ON FIRST USE, about 0.93 MB, once.

Segment one chromosome of an Affymetrix copy-number container by up to four independent methods and report where they agree. The HMM lays a copy-number model over the log2 ratios and calls a state per segment; circular binary segmentation finds where the mean changes with no model of what a gain looks like, by permutation test; piecewise constant fitting picks the piecewise-constant curve minimizing squared error plus a penalty per jump, with no test and no seed; PELT minimizes the same shape of objective exactly and prices a boundary with an information criterion rather than a tuned constant, so its segment count follows from a model-selection rule.

Scan every indexed chromosome of an Affymetrix copy-number container and report what the file itself called: gains, losses and stretches of homozygosity, with their positions, marker counts and spans, plus a per-chromosome summary. Reads the file's own CNState and LOH columns and infers nothing — for a second opinion computed from the log2 ratios, use copy_number_segment. A chromosome that was read and carries nothing is reported as clean, which is a different answer from one that could not be read. NO GENOME BUILD IS ASSUMED: positions are the file's own.

Place an Affymetrix copy-number sample's own calls in ClinGen's curated regions: for each region, which gains, losses or stretches of homozygosity fall in it, at what reciprocal overlap, and how much of the region they cover between them. Regions come from ClinGen's dosage-sensitivity curation, cached with its retrieval date — a loss is reported against the region's haploinsufficiency score and a gain against its triplosensitivity score, and no score is claimed for LOH or mosaic events, which change no copy number. NO THRESHOLD IS APPLIED: every overlap is reported with its numbers and which calls are worth reporting is a laboratory's judgement.

Estimate which mosaic fraction class each region of one chromosome is closest to, as Affymetrix Power Tools computes it. A mosaic event is present in only some of the sample's cells, so its log2 ratio sits between the levels a clonal change would produce. Every segment comes back with the class it was assigned (±0.3, ±0.5, ±0.7, ±1.0), the fraction that class is NAMED for, its confidence, and whether the method CALLED it as mosaic — a whole-copy change of exactly ±1.0 is clonal and is reported with call 0, which is the vendor's own test. The mixture values are class labels, not measured cell fractions: there is no published method for this estimate and no independent implementation to grade it against, so it is reported as APT computes it and the provenance output carries that sentence. A chromosome with fewer than 4,330 markers is refused by name rather than answered empty, because the method's own boundary adjustments would delete every call.

Plan the cycling programme for an amplicon on a NAMED enzyme, and check the reaction against that manufacturer's own published limits. The extension rate and the denaturation step come from the product's datasheet and protocol manual; the annealing temperature is yours (from design_primers or pcr_amplify), and anything the manufacturer does not publish comes from the pydna-faithful Taq or Phusion/Q5 preset — the result says which numbers came from where. The check reports the product as a percentage of the vendor's stated maximum, the extension time its rate implies, the substitutions expected per molecule and the fraction of molecules that should be error-free, each finding quoting the specification line it rests on.

Read a variant call set (VCF, bgzipped VCF or BCF) in this project and return the records matching a query: a locus, a variant class, a QUAL floor, PASS-only, a sample that is not hom-ref, or an INFO key. Every answer says what it read over and what it filtered on, so a count can never be mistaken for the file's total. A call set too large to read whole opens at its header, and a locus is then the way in rather than an option.

Substitute one called ALT allele into a sequence and return the edited bases, the range the edit occupies and the length change. The REF allele is checked against the sequence first and a mismatch REFUSES naming both: applying a call from a different assembly would produce a construct that looks fine and is wrong. Symbolic and breakend alleles are refused for what they are: they name a rearrangement rather than replacement bases.

Enumerate a small molecule's protonation states across a pH window with Dimorphite-DL (Ropp et al. 2019): each ionisable group it recognizes (substructures with pKa means and spreads taken from measured pKa values) is kept protonated, deprotonated or both, and every combination is returned as SMILES. Reproduces Dimorphite-DL 2.1.0, including that it neutralizes charged groups first and keeps only the part it neutralized.

Predict which reactant atom each product atom came from (atom-to-atom mapping) with RXNMapper (Schwaller et al., Sci. Adv. 2021), the most accurate mapper in Lin et al.'s 2022 benchmark of 1,851 curated reactions. Agents join the reactants, each compound is canonicalised and each side sorted before mapping, as RXNMapper does. Returns the reaction SMILES with atom maps and a confidence (the product of each product atom's attention score). A prediction, not a measurement.

Read an alignment window and say how well its reads agree with the reference underneath them, the way the pileup's own bar does: the compared and differing base counts, plus the RefSeq gene models and known dbSNP variants over the same window. The reference is a FASTA in this project or a public UCSC assembly, exactly as the panel offers it. There is no threshold and no verdict: a rate in the tens of percent almost always means the reads were aligned to a different assembly than the one asked for, and when the file declares its own reference length the answer says so as a fact rather than as a judgement.

Read one window of a BAM or SAM in this project: its reads, the depth across it, and what the pairs say about the library — the same window, filters and record cap the pileup draws. Wire `reads` into an alignment or a screen the way the pane's own hand-offs do.

Multiple-sequence alignment over several sequences, under either of TWO engines that answer different questions and neither of which is a fallback for the other. `poa` (partial-order, poapy) aligns into a graph, keeps every path a read took and produces its own consensus row — what a pile of reads over one locus wants. `progressive` (biotite) computes Feng-Doolittle distances, clusters them into a guide tree and merges along it under "once a gap, always a gap" — the classic MSA algorithm, what a FAMILY of homologous genes wants, and what a reader coming from Clustal or MUSCLE expects. Wire many upstream `record`/`sequence` outputs into `sequences`, or name library documents.

This deployment has no calling key, so nothing can be run from here. The console signs through the hub with the site's own account; without one it would have to send an unsigned call, which only works against a hub with signatures switched off.
Nobody has claimed this listing. Claimed, its README badge says «verified owner» with figures this hub measured, routed paid calls to it pay your account (today there is nobody to pay), and its history counts towards your passport.
- Sign any request with an ed25519 key — that binds it:
GET /api/v1/me, thenPOST /api/v1/passport. - Prove it is yours. Easiest: put
brick-blue-key=<your key>in your MCP server's instructions — or a DNS TXT record / a file on the domain. - Ask the hub to check:
POST /api/v1/passport/claim-endpointwith this listing's ida36f7b1addc20a6a.
Every step, filled in for this listing: https://brick.blue/api/v1/agents/a36f7b1addc20a6a/claim.

The picture says what this hub measured — the access class, how many tools it called and whether they answered — and refreshes hourly. Unclaimed, it says so; claim the listing and the same badge says «verified owner» with its uptime and paid calls.
card completeness
100%
An MCP server publishes no agent card, so there is nothing to score here: this is how many tools it exposes, a measure of surface rather than of quality.
spec deviations
0
MCP servers publish no card, so there is no card specification to depart from — this count is always zero for them.
Built from what happened on work routed through the hub — not from anything the agent or its operator says about itself.
