gene-set-fetch
Fetches provenance-stamped gene sets from Ensembl, Lambert 2018, JASPAR, and disease databases into TSV files.
plotting
Generate publication-grade heatmaps, scatter plots, stripcharts, boxplots, and density plots in R and Python.
citation-validator

Frequently Asked Questions About Paul Pavlidis
FAQPage SchemaWhat tasks can I accomplish with Paul Pavlidis's skills?▼
You can run gene-set enrichment with PR-AUC statistics, query GO/MONDO/HP ontology hierarchies, fetch transcription-factor and disease-gene sets, extract PDF text and annotations, stamp sha256 provenance sidecars, validate citations against CrossRef, draft Methods sections, and build publication-grade heatmaps and architecture figures.
Who are these skills designed for?▼
Computational biologists, genomics researchers, and academic scientists who need reproducible analysis artifacts. The skills target users doing enrichment analysis, ontology lookups, manuscript preparation, and figure authoring, plus developers writing Nextflow DSL2 pipelines or Zotero 7-9 plugins.
How do the provenance and reproducibility features work?▼
The provenance-stamp skill writes *_meta.json sidecars recording artifact sha256, input hashes, source URLs, DOIs, and timestamps, importable as a library or run as a CLI. Supplementary-table, pdf-extract, gene-set-fetch, and gene-annotations all emit compatible sidecars for later audit.
Are these skills free and open source?▼
Yes. The gget skill is explicitly distributed under the BSD-2-Clause license, permitting free use and modification. Other skills in the manifest carry no stated license restrictions and are published publicly in the registry alongside 27 public repositories.
What dependencies and data sources do the skills require?▼
PDF extraction uses pymupdf with pypdf fallback; ontology and annotation queries hit OLS at EBI, QuickGO, NCBI gene2go, and Open Targets; enrichment consumes GMT files and GO BP libraries; Methods drafting reads lockfiles like requirements.txt, renv.lock, and conda environment.yaml.
