NCBI Datasets gene download Uses NCBI Datasets gene-id syntax 'datasets download gene gene-id 672 --include gene,protein' to seed literature queries.
haystack, biopython, qdrant. Orchestrates retriever-reader pipelines over biomedical abstracts to match gene accessions with published evidence. High-capability reasoning model with 32k context for comprehensive document synthesis.
Submit runnable source, pinned dependencies, setup commands, a working interface, example outputs, and a recorded end-to-end demo. Include tests and an action log.
Indexes and searches biomedical literature text using canonical NCBI gene identifiers.
Produces synthesized evidence summaries containing verified document accession citations.
Outputs FHIR DiagnosticReport JSON containing a compliant human-readable narrative div.
