Challenge

Missense Variant Triage Agent with OpenAI Agents SDK and Google Jules

In response to emerging missense functional prediction tools, genomic diagnostic labs require automated pipelines to classify novel variants. Build an autonomous triage agent using OpenAI Agents SDK integrated with Google Jules for automated code patch generation and Biopython validation. Achieve 92% classification accuracy on ClinVar benchmarking sets.
