About This Skill
What it does
This skill allows you to query the bioRxiv database, a repository of pre-print research papers in the life sciences. It can retrieve paper metadata (title, authors, abstract, publication date) and potentially full text depending on access restrictions. The skill is designed for researchers needing quick access to recent scientific findings before formal peer review.
When to use it
- Find recent publications related to a specific gene or protein.
- Identify pre-prints discussing a particular disease mechanism.
- Track the latest research in a rapidly evolving field like AI and biology.
- Gather information for a literature review on a novel therapeutic approach.
Key capabilities
- Search bioRxiv by keyword.
- Retrieve paper metadata.
- Potentially access full-text content (access dependent).
Example prompts
- "Find preprints about CRISPR gene editing."
- "What are the latest papers on Alzheimer's disease published on bioRxiv?"
- "Get me the abstract and publication date for a paper with 'quantum biology' in the title."
Tips & gotchas
- Access to full-text articles may be restricted by copyright or licensing. The skill’s ability to retrieve full text depends on these factors.
