Infrastructure & engineering
Architecture, planning systems, workflow orchestration, scientific context, and the operational problems behind agentic bioinformatics.
The Skill Graph: A Literature-Derived Map of Bioinformatics
How a directed knowledge graph derived from the literature supports Pipette’s planning agent and can be queried through MCP.
→The Bioinformatics Hiring Crisis Is Unsolvable
An argument for scaling analytical capacity through better infrastructure rather than relying on hiring alone.
→Why We Built Pipette (Even Though Claude Code Exists)
Where general coding assistants help, where bioinformatics asks for more structure, and why Pipette takes a domain-specific approach.
