Bio Immunoinformatics Tcr Epitope Binding · pku-yuangroup bundle
Infer or annotate TCR antigen specificity by unsupervised clustering (TCRdist/tcrdist3, GLIPH2, clusTCR, GIANA) and database lookup (VDJdb, IEDB, McPAS-TCR), and rank candidates with supervised predictors (ERGO-II, NetTCR-2.x, pMTnet) under explicit caveats. Encodes the central truth that general TCR-epitope prediction for UNSEEN epitopes essentially does not work (collapses to near-random; IMMREP22, Grazioli 2022) because labeled data is dominated by a few immunodominant epitopes and there is no true negative set — so clustering for discovery is the honest task and de-novo binding needs wet-lab validation.

Bio Structural Biology Geometric Analysis · pku-yuangroup bundle
Measures geometric properties of protein structures with Biopython Bio.PDB - interatomic distances, distance matrices, bond and dihedral angles (phi/psi/chi, Ramachandran), superposition and RMSD, center of mass, radius of gyration, and solvent accessible surface area (SASA). Use when deciding that RMSD depends on BOTH the superposition and the atom selection (a global all-atom RMSD is dominated by flexible loops and hinge motion and is NOT a cross-protein similarity metric); choosing the metric that matches the question (RMSD for same-molecule displacement, TM-score for same-fold, lDDT for superposition-free local model quality - the quantity pLDDT predicts); recognizing Superimposer needs an equal-length ordered atom-to-atom correspondence; and reporting SASA only alongside its probe radius (1.4A water, Shrake-Rupley) with a preference for relative SASA. Keywords RMSD, TM-score, lDDT, SASA, Shrake-Rupley, superposition, Kabsch, dihedral, Ramachandran, radius of gyration.

Orchestrates genome-scale metabolic modeling from a protein FASTA to flux predictions, chaining CarveMe/gapseq reconstruction, memote QC, gap-filling, media-constrained FBA/FVA, gene essentiality, and context-specific models. Use when committing the reconstruction tool (which locks the identifier NAMESPACE forever - BiGG vs ModelSEED vs KEGG, no automatic translation), setting the medium BEFORE FBA (the exchange bounds ARE the medium; essentiality and gap-fill are computed relative to it), curating iteratively (stoichiometric-consistency first, then mass/charge, then directionality, then GPR) with energy-generating-cycle removal, and reading a MEMOTE score as well-formedness NOT correctness. Hands mechanism to the systems-biology component skills; not a re-teach of any single step.

Covers knockout by premature stop (CRISPR-STOP/iSTOP) and splice-site disruption, the three off-target classes (Cas-dependent, Cas-independent DNA, RNA), outcome prediction (BE-Hive/DeepBE), and the base-vs-prime-vs-HDR decision. Use when installing a transition mutation without a double-strand break, knocking out a gene without indels, or choosing CBE vs ABE. Generic guide scoring, prime editing, and HDR donors are separate skills.

Bio Genome Engineering Hdr Template Design · pku-yuangroup bundle
Designs donor/repair templates for precise CRISPR knock-ins -- choosing the format (ssODN, long-ssDNA/Easi-CRISPR, dsDNA/plasmid, AAV6), sizing homology arms, placing the cut within ~10 bp of the edit, and adding a mandatory codon-checked blocking (PAM/seed) mutation so the edited allele is not re-cut. Frames the HDR-vs-NHEJ-vs-MMEJ pathway competition, the MMEJ (PITCh) and homology-independent (HITI/HMEJ) alternatives for post-mitotic cells, ssODN strand/asymmetry choice, phosphorothioate end-protection, and ranked HDR enhancers. Use when designing a donor for a point mutation, epitope/fluorophore tag, allele replacement, or knock-in, or when HDR efficiency is low. Guide design and base/prime editing are separate skills.

Bio Ctdna Mutation Detection · pku-yuangroup bundle
Detects somatic mutations in circulating tumor DNA, treating low-VAF detection as a signal-versus-noise problem set by error suppression and molecules sampled, not by the choice of caller. Distinguishes de novo CALLING (scanning a panel for unknown variants, bounded by per-locus error and multiple testing) from tumor-informed DETECTION (tracking a pre-specified variant set, where panel integration reaches single-ppm). Covers VarDict and Mutect2 for de novo calling, UMI-aware callers, and a pysam-based known-variant VAF tracker, with matched-WBC subtraction as the mandatory defense against clonal hematopoiesis (the dominant false positive). Use when calling or tracking tumor mutations from plasma cfDNA, setting a VAF threshold, or deciding whether a low-VAF call is tumor versus CHIP.

Bio Methylation Bismark Alignment · pku-yuangroup bundle
Aligns bisulfite-converted (WGBS, RRBS, PBAT) and enzymatic (EM-seq) short reads to an in-silico C->T/G->A-converted reference with Bismark (Bowtie2 or HISAT2), preparing the genome index, choosing the directional vs non-directional vs PBAT strand flag, deduplicating WGBS/EM-seq (never RRBS), and bounding bisulfite conversion efficiency with unmethylated lambda and methylated pUC19 spike-ins. Covers why the library protocol (not the aligner) decides whether calls are meaningful, why incomplete conversion masquerades as methylation, the 3-letter reduced-complexity mapping bias (50-70% efficiency is normal), and M-bias end-clipping. Use when aligning bisulfite or EM-seq reads, preparing a bisulfite genome, choosing the strand flag, or diagnosing low mapping efficiency.

Imputes untyped genotypes against a phased reference panel with Beagle, Minimac4, or IMPUTE5 (array data) or from genotype likelihoods with GLIMPSE2, QUILT2, or STITCH (low-coverage WGS), producing per-variant dosages (DS) with a self-estimated quality (Beagle DR2, Minimac R2, IMPUTE INFO). Covers why the honest output is a dosage posterior not a hard call, why GWAS regresses on DS, why the quality metric is an ESTIMATE of r2 from posterior spread (not validation against truth), the DS/GP/HDS fields, the phasing prerequisite, chunking, chrX ploidy, the Michigan/TOPMed servers (the only access to HRC/TOPMed), and low-coverage WGS as the modern array replacement. Use when increasing variant density for GWAS, harmonizing arrays, inferring untyped variants, or imputing low-coverage sequence. Phase first with haplotype-phasing; prepare the panel with reference-panels; filter with imputation-qc; the GWAS test is population-genetics/association-testing; end-to-end orchestration is workflows/gwas-pipeline.

Bio Differential Expression Batch Correction · pku-yuangroup bundle
Handles batch effects in bulk RNA-seq via design-matrix inclusion (the correct path for DE), ComBat/ComBat-seq for visualization, SVA for unknown latent factors, RUVSeq for negative-control-gene-anchored unwanted variation, and limma::removeBatchEffect for plotting only. Encodes the Nygaard 2016 cardinal sin against testing on a batch-corrected matrix, the choice between SVA/RUVg/RUVs/RUVr, the confounding non-identifiability problem, the single-cell boundary (Harmony/MNN are NOT for bulk), and the Goh 2017 harmonization critique. Use when designing a DE analysis with batch structure, troubleshooting batch-dominated PCA, choosing ComBat vs ComBat-seq, handling unknown batch via SVA, integrating across studies, or deciding when (rarely) to subtract batch.
