lobster-bioinformatics
Run bioinformatics analyses using Lobster AI - single-cell RNA-seq, bulk RNA-seq, literature mining, dataset discovery, quality control, and visualization. Use when analyzing genomics data, searching for papers/datasets, or working with H5AD, CSV, GEO/SRA accessions, or biological data. Requires lobster-ai package installed.
npx skills add FreedomIntelligence/OpenClaw-Medical-Skills --skill lobster-bioinformatics --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.

# Lobster Bioinformatics Agent Lobster AI is a bioinformatics platform that combines specialized AI agents with open-source tools to analyze multi-omics data through natural language. ## When to use this Skill Use Lobster when the user asks to: - Analyze single-cell RNA-seq data (QC, clustering, annotation, markers) - Perform bulk RNA-seq analysis (differential expression, complex designs) - Search scientific literature (PubMed, PMC, full-text retrieval) - Discover datasets (GEO, SRA, ENA (free) and PRIDE, MASSive (cloud)) - Run quality control on biological data - Generate bioinformatics visualizations (UMAP, volcano plots, heatmaps) - Download and process biological datasets - Work with H5AD, CSV, Excel, 10X formats - Extract methods or metadata from papers ## Requirements Lobster must be installed and configured: ```bash # Check if Lobster is installed which lobster # If not installed: uv pip install lobster-ai lobster init --help #to see non-interactive ``` Lobster requires an LLM provider (Ollama, Anthropic, or AWS Bedrock). ## Pre-flight check (IMPORTANT) **Before running any analysis, always verify Lobster is ready:** ```bash lobster config-test --json ``` Returns structured

What does the lobster-bioinformatics skill do?
Run bioinformatics analyses using Lobster AI - single-cell RNA-seq, bulk RNA-seq, literature mining, dataset discovery, quality control, and visualization. Use when analyzing genomics data, searching for papers/datasets, or working with H5AD, CSV, GEO/SRA accessions, or biological data. Requires lobster-ai package installed.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add FreedomIntelligence/OpenClaw-Medical-Skills --skill lobster-bioinformatics --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From FreedomIntelligence/OpenClaw-Medical-Skills, a repository with 2,909 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
