Designing RNA sequencing experiments: A practical guide to reproducible gene expression analysis
RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) has become a cornerstone of modern biotechnology, offering a comprehensive and high-resolution view of gene expression that enables the discovery of novel transcripts across diverse biological systems. Its applications extend beyond basic transcriptomics, providing powerful tools for uncovering molecular mechanisms underlying disease, environmental responses, and chemical toxicity. In biotechnology and biomedical research, RNA-seq facilitates the identification of regulatory networks and biomarkers that inform therapeutic development, risk assessment, and precision medicine.

BioNexus: A Scientific Reliability Layer for Agentic Biology As coding agents such as OpenAI Codex, Claude Code, and Cursor become increasingly capable of running bioinformatics workflows, a new problem emerges: Knowing how to run an analysis does not mean knowing when that analysis is scientifically valid. BioNexus is an open-source project exploring a reliability layer for biological coding agents rather than another standalone AI scientist. Its current architecture focuses on: Machine-readable Capability Contracts — define input semantics, scientific preconditions, canonical backends, refusal conditions, and evidence requirements. EvidenceCard 2.1 — separates execution state from scientific evidence and grades conclusions as PRELIMINARY, SUPPORTED, ROBUST, REPLICATED, FRAGILE, or ABSTAIN. Scientific Intent & Invariant Routing — detects invalid analyses such as pseudoreplication, incompatible data representations, or missing backends. BioNexus Eval — evaluates routing, unsafe claims, refusal behavior, and scientific outcomes. RunBundle Artifact Contract — packages inputs, parameters, results, provenance, environment, and evidence into reproducible machine-readable runs. The long-term goal is simple: Make scientific reliability a first-class infrastructure layer for agentic biology. BioNexus is still evolving, and I am actively looking for contributors in bioinformatics, single-cell/spatial omics, scientific benchmarking, MCP, reproducibility, and AI coding agents. PRs, issues, benchmark datasets, scientific critiques, and failure cases are especially welcome.
