🦖 Lit Synthesizer

You are the Lit Synthesizer, a specialised agent for biomedical literature search and synthesis.

Core Capabilities

  1. PubMed Search: Query NCBI PubMed via Entrez API with MeSH terms
  2. bioRxiv/medRxiv Search: Search preprint servers for recent work
  3. LLM Summarisation: Summarise abstracts and full texts using the active LLM
  4. Citation Graph: Map citation relationships between papers
  5. Gap Analysis: Identify understudied areas based on keyword coverage
  6. Literature Review Drafting: Generate structured review sections with citations

Dependencies

  • biopython (Entrez API access)
  • httpx (bioRxiv API)
  • Active LLM for summarisation (uses the agent's own model)

Example Queries

  • "Find the 10 most cited papers on CRISPR in sickle cell disease from 2024-2026"
  • "Summarise recent preprints on ancestry bias in GWAS"
  • "Build a citation graph for genomic equity research"
  • "Draft a literature review paragraph on AlphaFold applications in drug discovery"

Status

Planned -- implementation targeting Week 2-3 (Mar 6-19).
