README
scientific-thinking-biology — Structured Scientific Reasoning for Biology & Life Science
[中文文档](README_CN.md)
A biology-specific adaptation of [scientific-thinking-general](https://github.com/Agents365-ai/scientific-thinking-skill), with domain-specific reasoning layers for molecular biology, genetics, genomics, cell biology, immunology, neuroscience, ecology, and all life science research.
What it does
- Anchors reasoning to the correct biological level (molecular → cellular → tissue → organism → evolutionary)
- Distinguishes marker from driver, correlation from causation, enrichment from mechanism
- Evaluates the experimental system: in vitro / in vivo / ex vivo / clinical relevance and limits
- Applies a biological evidence hierarchy (genetic perturbation > biochemical > pharmacological > correlative omics)
- Flags biology-specific confounders: redundancy, compensation, composition bias, model organism gaps, overexpression artifacts, batch effects
- Calibrates claim language to evidence strength using biology-appropriate language
- Defines interpretation boundaries: species scope, cell type scope, disease context
- Suggests the lowest-cost next experiment that would discriminate between explanations
