Research & Search
Research agent skills teach AI agents to gather and synthesize information properly: literature reviews, competitive analysis, web research with citations, and structured summaries. Each SKILL.md encodes a method, not just a prompt, so results stay consistent across runs.

fridrichmethod Bundle Bio Crispr Screens Jacks Analysis 2Runs JACKS (Joint Analysis of CRISPR/Cas9 Knockout Screens; Allen et al 2019 Genome Research) which models per-sgRNA log-fold-change as the product of a treatment-dependent gene-essentiality term and a treatment-independent guide-efficacy term. Covers the Bayesian decomposition math, the hierarchical efficacy prior shared across screens performed with the same library, when JACKS outperforms MAGeCK (multi-screen joint analysis, libraries with broad efficacy variance) and when it does not (single screen, novel libraries with no prior efficacy), library-reuse efficacy transfer, downstream essentiality interpretation, and the 2.5x sample-size reduction enabled by efficacy-aware testing. Use when running multiple screens with the same library, when guide-level noise is suspected to dominate per-gene signal, when reusing published essentiality reference screens for efficacy priors, or when comparing screens performed across cell lines that share library but differ biologically.
