    Infers exact amplicon sequence variants (ASVs) from demultiplexed 16S rRNA or ITS amplicon FASTQ with DADA2 - removing primers with cutadapt (--discard-untrimmed), learning a per-run error model (filterAndTrim -> learnErrors -> dada -> mergePairs), merging run-level tables with mergeSequenceTables, then one removeBimeraDenovo. Covers why primers come OFF before truncation, why the error model is per-run, truncLen as a merge-overlap detection budget (V4 vs V3-V4), DADA2 vs Deblur and q2-dada2 (denoise-paired/single/pyro/ccs), ASV vs OTU, NovaSeq binned-quality error-fit breakage, ITSxpress for variable-length ITS, and decontam removal of reagent/kit contaminants.

  7. Bio Pathway Go Enrichment · pku-yuangroup bundle
    Runs Gene Ontology over-representation analysis (ORA) on a gene LIST with clusterProfiler enrichGO, the one-sided hypergeometric/Fisher 2x2 test phyper(k-1, M, N-M, n, lower.tail=FALSE). Covers why the BACKGROUND universe (not the gene list) is the null and decides significance, why omitting universe= is a bug, why enrichGO defaults to ont='MF' not 'BP', why pvalueCutoff filters p.adjust not raw p, why ORA discards effect magnitude and inherits GO-DAG true-path redundancy (simplify, topGO), why RNA-seq gene-length bias inflates long-gene terms (GOseq Wallenius), plus GeneRatio/BgRatio, bitr ID mapping, minGSSize/maxGSSize, groupGO. Use when a pre-selected gene list (DE hits, co-expression module, screen, GWAS-mapped) needs GO annotation.

Owns the third pathway-analysis generation because KEGG ships signed directed signaling topology (KGML). Covers why a KEGG result is a timestamped join against a live REST API (irreproducible unless pinned with a gson snapshot, not the stale 2012 KEGG.db), why enrichKEGG keyType is kegg/ncbi-geneid not OrgDb ENSEMBL/SYMBOL (zero hits), why organism is a KEGG code (hsa, pae) with prokaryotic locus tags, and why SPIA works only on signaling maps. Use when finding enriched KEGG pathways or modules, scoring signed pathway perturbation, analyzing prokaryotes or non-model organisms via locus tags or KO, comparing conditions with compareCluster, or overlaying data with pathview. The hypergeometric universe lives in go-enrichment; the GSEA engine in gsea.

Use when judging whether a callset is trustworthy, diagnosing a low Ti/Tv or outlier het/hom sample, deciding whether an HWE deviation is error or biology, screening a cohort for sample swaps/contamination/wrong-sex before analysis, or comparing call sets before and after filtering. Not for applying filters (see variant-calling/filtering-best-practices) or normalizing representation (see variant-calling/variant-normalization).

  16. Bio Workflows Longread Sv Pipeline · pku-yuangroup bundle
    Orchestrates an end-to-end long-read structural-variant pipeline - basecalling to minimap2 alignment (platform-matched preset) to Sniffles2/cuteSV/pbsv calling to optional assembly-based calling (dipcall/PAV) to two-step .snf cohort merging to Truvari benchmarking - chaining ONT and PacBio HiFi runs while handing the SV signal mechanism off to the component skills. Use when running a long-read SV workflow from reads to a benchmarked callset, choosing the minimap2 preset and SV caller by platform and goal, deciding when long reads are worth it for the insertions and repeat-mediated SVs short reads physically miss, building a joint-genotyped cohort with the two-step .snf design, or parameterizing a Truvari benchmark against GIAB HG002 Tier 1 plus CMRG. Not for the SV signal mechanism itself (see variant-calling/structural-variant-calling) or short-read SV.

  17. Bio Workflows Methylation Pipeline · pku-yuangroup bundle
    Orchestrates the end-to-end bisulfite/EM-seq methylation pipeline from FASTQ to differentially methylated regions, chaining Trim Galore/fastp QC, Bismark alignment + deduplication, methylation calling, methylKit coverage-filtering/normalization, and selection-aware DMR detection (dmrseq/DSS). Use when gating the run on bisulfite conversion (lambda + pUC19 controls) BEFORE any beta value, committing the genome build + library directionality once, keeping mate-overlap deduplicated (--no_overlap), M-bias-trimming from the plot, filtering coverage before testing, choosing a count model (beta-binomial/DSS) over a bare-beta t-test, or using a region-selection-aware FDR (dmrseq/DSS) rather than raw methylKit tiles. Hands mechanism to the methylation-analysis component skills; not a re-teach of any single step.

  18. Bio Workflows Multi Omics Pipeline · pku-yuangroup bundle
    Orchestrates VERTICAL bulk multi-omics integration (RNA + protein + methylation on the SAME samples) from harmonization to a validated result, routing to MOFA2 (shared factors), mixOmics/DIABLO (predictive signature), or SNF (patient subtypes). Use when confirming the correspondence is vertical (not horizontal same-features-different-cohorts), joining on a stable sample primary key rather than cbind on assumed row order, normalizing each omic in its OWN space and equalizing block variance BEFORE stacking (or the widest omic hijacks every shared factor), correcting batch ONCE in one place, and validating in a HELD-OUT cohort because in-cohort CV at n<<p is optimistically biased. Hands mechanism to the multi-omics-integration component skills; not a re-teach of any single step.

    Normalizes ChIP-seq data using exogenous spike-in (ChIP-Rx with Drosophila chromatin per Orlando 2014 / Egan 2016; E. coli carryover for CUT&RUN/CUT&Tag). Distinguishes RRPM from Rx-Input scaling, integrates with DiffBind / DESeq2 / edgeR / csaw via sizeFactors and DiffBind library-size vectors, applies the Patel et al 2024 *Nat Biotechnol* failure-mode framework, and validates that normalization is applied at the read level (not peak counts). Use when global signal shifts are expected (HDACi, BETi, EZH2i, dosage, target knockdown), when ChIPseqSpikeInFree detects post-hoc shifts, or when validating internal-control regions before publication.

  23. Bio Crispr Screens Batch Correction · pku-yuangroup bundle
    Batch effect correction for CRISPR screens covering ComBat empirical-Bayes, RUV, SVA, control-sgRNA normalization, and the model-based alternative of including batch as a covariate in MAGeCK MLE or Chronos. Covers screen-specific batch sources (passage cohort, library lot, infection day, sequencing run, Cas9 lot, FBS lot), PCA + variance-decomposition diagnostic to decide if correction is needed, when correction harms biology by over-correcting condition into batch, limma removeBatchEffect for visualization-only correction, and relationship to multi-condition design matrices. Use when combining screens for joint analysis, when passage cohort confounds biology, when DepMap-style panels need Chronos with batch covariates, when picking ComBat vs RUV, or when correction harms biology and should be replaced with explicit covariate modeling.

  24. Bio Data Visualization Circos Plots · pku-yuangroup bundle
    Build circular genome visualizations using circlize (R), pyCirclize (Python), or Circos (Perl CLI) with ideogram tracks, multi-data tracks (scatter, histogram, heatmap), chord/link arcs for interactions, and explicit circos.clear() between plots. Covers when circular is appropriate vs when Cartesian wins (Cleveland-McGill 1984), karyograms, and chromosome adjacency in chord diagrams. Use when adjacency on the circle conveys meaning — chromosome-level overview, structural variants, Hi-C interactions, cross-genome comparisons.

  27. Bio Remote Homology · pku-yuangroup bundle
    Detect distant homologs using profile and structure-aware methods that go beyond standard BLAST. Use when sequence identity falls into the twilight zone (<35% pairwise), when BLAST fails to find homologs that should exist, when working at metagenomic scale (DIAMOND, MMseqs2), or when structure beats sequence (Foldseek).

  28. Bio Experimental Design Sample Size · pku-yuangroup bundle
    Estimates the minimum biological replicates (or cells/events) for a target power at a target FDR in genomics experiments using ssizeRNA, PROPER, powsimR for scRNA-seq, and pilot-data dispersion estimation from DESeq2/edgeR. Covers the biological-versus-technical replication distinction (technical replicates do not add degrees of freedom for biological inference), replicate-number-versus-sequencing-depth budgeting, scRNA-seq sample-versus-cell allocation under a pseudobulk model, and the critique that "n=3" is a publication convention rather than a power calculation. Use when budgeting a sequencing experiment, writing the sample-size justification in a grant, estimating replicates from pilot data, allocating a fixed budget between samples and depth, or planning scRNA-seq cohort size. For clinical-trial sample size see clinical-biostatistics/power-and-sample-size; for the power-given-n direction see experimental-design/power-analysis.

    Calls significant loops from protein-directed and targeted 3C assays (HiChIP, PLAC-seq, Capture Hi-C/PCHi-C, ChIA-PET) where the contact background is peak-anchored and coverage-biased, so generic Hi-C loop callers (cooltools dots, Juicer HiCCUPS) use the wrong null. Covers FitHiChIP (config-driven coverage+distance-decay spline regression, peak-to-peak vs peak-to-all foreground, loose vs stringent background, coverage vs ICE bias), MAPS (positive Poisson regression on bias factors for PLAC-seq/HiChIP), hichipper (restriction-site-distance bias model + library QC), CHiCAGO (Delaporte two-component Brownian+technical background for asymmetric bait x other-end Capture Hi-C), the with/without separate-ChIP anchor decision, and differential loops via diffloop.

    Balances Hi-C contact matrices (ICE via cooler.balance_cooler, KR/SCALE/VC context), computes distance-decay expected with cooltools (expected_cis per-diagonal P(s), expected_trans scalar), builds observed/expected (O/E) matrices, and diagnoses polymer state from the P(s) log-derivative. Covers the within-matrix-vs-cross-sample distinction (balancing is NOT a normalizer), the equal-visibility assumption that CNV/aneuploidy violates (use raw counts for copy-number), cis-only balancing, mad_max/blacklist masking before balancing, multiplicative cooler weights vs divisive juicer weights, and the resolution-vs-depth budget. Use when balancing a .cool/.mcool, computing expected or P(s), making O/E matrices for compartments/loops, deciding ICE vs KR vs SCALE, choosing a resolution for a given depth, or troubleshooting NaN/all-NaN balanced matrices; route cross-sample comparison to hic-differential.

    Extracts cfDNA fragmentomics features (DELFI genome-wide short/long ratios, WPS nucleosome positioning, Griffin GC-corrected accessibility profiles, end-motifs/MDS, OCF) for cancer detection and tissue-of-origin from plasma WGS. Centers on the nuclease-footprint reframe (every feature re-reads one nucleosome object), the mandatory GC correction, and the cross-protocol non-comparability that breaks naive classifiers. Runs FinaleToolkit (real CLI/Python, MIT) and the Griffin Snakemake pipeline; DELFI is a method, not a package. Use when deriving fragment-based signal from cfDNA, choosing a feature family for detection vs subtyping, or diagnosing why a fragmentomic model failed validation.

  37. Bio Phylo Divergence Dating · pku-yuangroup bundle
    Estimate divergence times under molecular-clock models with BEAST2, MCMCTree/PAML, TreePL, and LSD2, framing a date as a product of the calibration prior and the clock model far more than of the sequence data. Covers why branch length = rate x time is nonidentifiable so only calibrations convert relative rate-time into absolute age; why the effective (marginal) prior on a calibrated node differs from the density specified, mandating a sample-from-prior run; the fossil-as-minimum rule, soft bounds, tip-dating, and the fossilized birth-death process; the temporal-signal check (TempEst root-to-tip regression + date-randomization) required before dating viruses or ancient DNA; and clock-model choice via the coefficient of variation. Use when dating nodes, calibrating with fossils or sampling dates, choosing a clock or dating engine, or routing topology to modern-tree-inference, posteriors to bayesian-inference, and rooting to tree-manipulation.

  38. Bio Phylo Tree Manipulation · pku-yuangroup bundle
    Edit phylogenetic tree structure with Biopython Bio.Phylo, and treat rooting as a separate statistical inference rather than a display choice. Covers why most inference returns an unrooted tree so placing the root creates every ancestor/descendant and basal claim; why a distant or lonely outgroup misroots inside the ingroup via long-branch attraction; the outgroup/midpoint/MAD/MinVar/non-reversible-likelihood rooting tradeoffs; why pruning must suppress degree-2 nodes and sum their branch lengths or all patristic distances silently corrupt; and why collapsing by support makes SOFT (uncertainty) polytomies, not HARD (radiation) ones. Use when rooting, re-rooting, pruning or subsetting taxa, extracting a clade or induced subtree, collapsing low-support branches, resolving polytomies, or ladderizing. Routes clock-based rooting to divergence-dating, inference to modern-tree-inference, and reading/plotting to tree-io and tree-visualization.

  39. Bio Primer Design Primer Validation · pku-yuangroup bundle
    Validates chosen PCR/qPCR oligos for intramolecular thermodynamic liabilities with primer3-py - hairpins, self-dimers, cross-dimers (calc_hairpin/homodimer/heterodimer), and 3'-end stability (calc_end_stability) - returning ThermoResult dG/Tm and ASCII structures. Covers why a "dimer-free" verdict is a PREDICTION at the supplied salt/Mg/dNTP/oligo conditions and temp_c (so the same primer is fine or dimer-prone depending on conditions), why a 3'-END dimer or hairpin is the lethal class (polymerase-extendable into primer-dimer) so structures are ranked by dG at the annealing temperature and 3'-end involvement rather than global Tm, that ThermoResult dG is in cal/mol not kcal/mol, and that .structure_found must gate the numbers. Use when checking primer pairs before ordering, troubleshooting primer-dimers or smears, or screening oligos for secondary structure. Genome off-target/mispriming is primer-specificity; design is primer-basics; probe assays are qpcr-primers.

  40. Bio Read Alignment Hisat2 Alignment · pku-yuangroup bundle
    Aligns RNA-seq reads to a genome with HISAT2, the splice-aware aligner whose hierarchical graph FM-index runs at roughly a quarter of STAR's memory (~7 GB for human), whose SNP/haplotype graph index reduces reference bias in the index itself, and whose MAPQ is GATK-friendly (60 for unique, no 255 problem). Use when RNA alignment must fit a memory-constrained machine, when feeding StringTie/Cufflinks transcript assembly via --dta, or when a SNP-aware graph index is wanted for allele-robust mapping. Feature-rich/high-RAM RNA alignment and fusion detection are star-alignment; DE on known transcripts only should skip alignment for rna-quantification/alignment-free-quant; the QC gate and contig-naming reconciliation are alignment-files; counting is rna-quantification.

Covers reagent and readout choice (SHAPE vs DMS, mutational-profiling vs RT-stop), the three control samples, per-transcript normalization, the Deigan vs Zarringhalam pseudo-energy models, in-cell versus in-vitro interpretation, and multi-conformation deconvolution. Use when converting probing reads to reactivities; deciding SHAPE versus DMS parameters; judging whether low reactivity means base-paired or protein-bound; or detecting whether an RNA populates more than one structure.

  52. Bio Splicing Qc · pku-yuangroup bundle
    Assesses RNA-seq data quality specifically for alternative splicing analysis. QC layers include experimental design audit (library prep, read length, depth, replicates), STAR 2-pass cohort-style alignment, junction saturation curves and discovery plateau detection, novel-vs-known junction ratio diagnostics, junction-overhang distribution, splice-site strength scoring (MaxEntScan intrinsic + SpliceAI context-aware), strandedness verification, GENCODE basic vs comprehensive choice, and rRNA contamination screening. Splicing analysis is more demanding than DGE on read length, depth, library prep, alignment strategy, and annotation choice — failures silently bias PSI estimates and inflate novel-junction false positives. Use when evaluating data suitability for splicing analysis, troubleshooting low event detection, or designing sequencing experiments where AS is a primary endpoint.

  60. Bio Experimental Design Batch Design · pku-yuangroup bundle
    Designs genomics experiments so technical nuisance variation (batch, lane, plate, flow cell, operator, reagent lot, processing day) is balanced against the biological variable of interest and therefore estimable rather than confounded, using constrained sample-to-batch assignment (designit, OSAT), the confounder/mediator/collider distinction, and the principle that no post-hoc correction recovers a fully confounded design. Covers detecting hidden batches with surrogate variable analysis, a decision table for downstream correction (ComBat-seq, RUVSeq, SVA) whose execution is deferred to differential-expression/batch-correction, and reproducibility metadata. Use when assigning samples to sequencing batches/lanes/plates, avoiding batch-condition confounding, deciding whether a design is salvageable by correction, choosing a correction method, or estimating the number of hidden batches.

Covers choosing k via Merqury best_k.sh, the k-mer-coverage vs sequencing-coverage confusion, reading het/repeat/contamination/organelle peaks, why noisy ONT must not be used for counting, and how the estimate becomes the NG50 denominator, the Flye -g value, the hifiasm --hom-cov/purge setting, and the 1.5-2x-too-big haplotig sanity check. Use when starting any de novo assembly, deciding whether short reads can work, estimating genome size for an unknown organism, diagnosing ploidy, or sanity-checking an assembly's size against expectation.

Covers why the model+version is an irreversible analysis decision, why methylation cannot be recovered later, and why downstream polish/variant models must match the basecaller. Use when converting POD5/FAST5 to reads, picking a Dorado model for R9/R10 or RNA004, enabling methylation calling, basecalling duplex, demultiplexing barcoded runs, or correcting reads for assembly.

    Profiles shotgun metagenomes to species/SGB relative abundance with MetaPhlAn 4's clade-specific marker genes (bowtie2 short reads, minimap2 long reads). Covers why a MetaPhlAn percentage is a cell fraction (genome-size-normalized taxonomic abundance) and must never be merged with Kraken/Bracken read fractions, kSGB vs uSGB units for quantifying database-absent taxa, the unknown-fraction rescaling and its version-default flip, --index pinning as a batch variable, and when mOTUs3 or sourmash gather beat marker profiling. Use when profiling who-is-there with high precision, needing HMP-comparable species abundances, quantifying novel taxa, or deciding marker-gene vs k-mer profiling.

  68. Bio Microbiome Functional Prediction · pku-yuangroup bundle

Covers why predicted function is taxonomy re-encoded (never measured gene content and never activity), the mandatory NSTI report (--max_nsti 2 silently drops novel ASVs), why accuracy IS reference coverage (gut Spearman ~0.8, soil/marine collapse), the circularity trap, and Tax4Fun2/FAPROTAX/BugBase alternatives. Use when inferring KO/EC/MetaCyc potential from an ASV table, gating on NSTI, or choosing a prediction method.

  69. Bio Phasing Imputation Imputation Qc · pku-yuangroup bundle
    Assesses and filters phasing/imputation output - the quality metrics (Beagle DR2, Minimac R2 and EmpRsq, IMPUTE/GLIMPSE INFO), MAF-stratified filtering, true accuracy by masking, the differential-imputation confound, dosage-based downstream usage, and phasing switch-error QC. Covers why every routine quality score is an ESTIMATE of r2 from the posterior spread (not validation against truth), why it is confounded with MAF so a flat INFO>=0.3 cutoff is a hidden rare-variant filter, why concordance lies for rare variants while masked dosage-r2 by MAF is the gold standard, why separate case/control imputation manufactures false GWAS hits, and that the field name tells the tool (DR2=Beagle, R2=Minimac, INFO=GLIMPSE/IMPUTE). Use when filtering imputed variants before GWAS, validating accuracy, benchmarking phasing against trios, or diagnosing inflated association. Imputation is genotype-imputation; phasing is haplotype-phasing; panel ancestry is reference-panels; the test is population-genetics/association-testing.

  70. Bio Phylo Bayesian Inference · pku-yuangroup bundle
    Frames Bayesian phylogenetics as approximating a posterior distribution over trees conditioned on data AND priors via an MCMC that must be proven to have converged, using MrBayes, BEAST2, RevBayes, and PhyloBayes-MPI. Covers why convergence (ESS, PSRF, ASDSF, topology vs scalar) is the load-bearing claim, why posterior probabilities are systematically higher than bootstrap and overconfident under model misspecification, why the default branch-length prior inflates tree length, why the harmonic-mean estimator must never select models (use stepping-stone), and when site-heterogeneous CAT-GTR is required at depth. Use when needing posterior clade support, model averaging, marginal-likelihood model comparison, or CAT models for deep phylogeny. Routes topology-only ML to modern-tree-inference, divergence times to divergence-dating, and tree summarization to tree-io.

  71. Bio Phylo Tree Visualization · pku-yuangroup bundle
    Draw and export phylogenetic trees with Bio.Phylo plus matplotlib, and route rich figures to ggtree, ETE4, or iTOL. Covers why a tree figure is an argument not a neutral picture, the cladogram-vs-phylogram-vs-chronogram choice that hides or reveals rate and time, how ladderization manufactures a false arrow of progress, why an unlabeled support number always flatters the result (bootstrap vs posterior vs SH-aLRT vs UFBoot are different scales), why Bio.Phylo silently drops BEAST HPD bars so annotated Bayesian trees must go through treeio plus ggtree, and the tip-count and raster-vs-vector thresholds for legible publication figures. Use when drawing a tree, choosing a layout, coloring branches, showing or labeling support, exporting vector figures, or deciding a drawing tool. Routes annotation-preserving reads to tree-io, and rooting and ladderizing to tree-manipulation.

    Checks whether a PCR primer PAIR amplifies only the intended target genome-wide, using pair-aware in-silico PCR (MFEprimer-3.0, UCSC isPcr, NCBI Primer-BLAST) plus a primer3-py 3'-end-stability prefilter, against the correct database. Covers why plain BLAST is the wrong tool (it scores per-primer similarity, blind to 3'-terminal anchoring and to whether the two primers form a convergent amplicon in range), why a single 3'-terminal mismatch suppresses amplification while internal mismatches are tolerated, why intron-spanning RT-qPCR is defeated by processed pseudogenes that force a GENOME search not transcriptome-only, how to read a Primer-BLAST report (empty unintended-products means none passed its filter, not none exist), and that in-silico checking reduces but never replaces empirical validation. Use when confirming specificity, screening off-target amplicons, avoiding paralog/pseudogene hits, or checking SNPs under the 3' end. Design is primer-basics; dimers primer-validation; alignment read-alignment.

  74. Bio Read Alignment Bowtie2 Alignment · pku-yuangroup bundle
    Aligns DNA short reads to a reference with Bowtie2, choosing end-to-end (whole read must align) vs local (soft-clip read ends) mode and a sensitivity preset; the de-facto aligner for ChIP-seq, ATAC-seq, and CUT&RUN, where fragment-geometry flags (--no-mixed, --no-discordant, --dovetail, -X) and a tool-appropriate MAPQ filter feed the peak caller. Use when aligning ChIP/ATAC/CUT&RUN reads, when read ends are adapter-contaminated and need soft-clipping, or when a tunable sensitivity/speed preset is wanted. DNA variant calling prefers bwa-alignment; RNA spliced alignment is star-alignment/hisat2-alignment; the QC gate and cross-tool MAPQ scale are alignment-files; peak calling is chip-seq/atac-seq; bisulfite uses methylation-analysis/bismark-alignment.

  77. Bio Small Rna Seq Differential Mirna · pku-yuangroup bundle
    Tests miRNAs for differential expression with DESeq2 or edgeR using small-RNA-aware normalization and filtering. Use when deciding which normalization survives a library dominated by a few hyper-abundant miRNAs (compositional fragility); choosing DESeq2 vs edgeR vs a compositional method; setting a lower prefilter than mRNA; handling biofluid data with no endogenous normalizer; or remembering that RPM is for display and TDMD can make a miRNA drop without transcriptional repression.

  78. Bio Tcr Bcr Analysis Scirpy Analysis · pku-yuangroup bundle
    Integrates single-cell paired TCR/BCR (10x VDJ, AIRR, dandelion, BD Rhapsody) with gene expression in an AnnData/MuData object using scirpy - chain-pairing QC, clonotype definition, clonal expansion, diversity, repertoire overlap, V(D)J usage, and VDJdb specificity. Operates on the awkward-array AIRR model (adata.obsm['airr'], accessed via get.airr after pp.index_chains), not legacy per-chain obs columns. Use when deciding clonotype definition for TCR (exact CDR3-nt identity via define_clonotypes) versus BCR (nucleotide distance clustering via define_clonotype_clusters with normalized_hamming plus same_v_gene/same_j_gene, because somatic hypermutation shatters identity clonotypes); tuning receptor_arms (all vs any), dual_ir, and within_group; filtering chain_qc categories (multichain doublets, orphan dropout, extra-VJ dual-TCR) without biasing clonal-expansion and diversity estimates; and overlaying clonality onto the transcriptomic UMAP.

Use when a DESeq2/edgeR/limma result must become enriched GO terms, KEGG/Reactome/WikiPathways pathways, or a GSEA leading edge; when the input is a full ranking for all genes (GSEA, named decreasing vector) or only a pre-selected list (ORA plus a defensible background universe); or when assembling DE-to-pathway end to end. The DE list and ranking statistic come from differential-expression/de-results; per-method nuance lives in the pathway-analysis skills.

Use when treating pre-analytics as the irreversible sensitivity ceiling (tube/time-to-plasma/hemolysis), running error-suppression BEFORE calling (single-strand consensus does not remove deamination; only duplex does), reporting a VAF only with input genome-equivalents (TF ~ 2x VAF only for clonal-het-diploid), subtracting CHIP before reporting somatic, or keeping tube/panel/pipeline identical across a longitudinal MRD series. Hands mechanism to the liquid-biopsy component skills; not a re-teach of any single step.
