arXiv:2603. 11872v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Translating single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data into mechanistic biological hypotheses remains a critical bottleneck, as agentic AI systems lack direct access to transcriptomic representations while expression foundation models remain opaque to natural language.

NS-Copilot is a large‑language‑model driven multi‑agent system designed to automate neuroscience data analysis. It integrates domain‑specific pre‑trained models for modalities such as EEG and extracellular spike data, and uses a natural‑language interface to orchestrate agents that plan, generate code, and synthesize results. In benchmarks on Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and working‑memory spike decoding, the system consistently outperformed strong baselines across multiple trials.

FlyAOC is a benchmark that tests AI agents on end‑to‑end ontology curation of Drosophila scientific literature. Given a gene symbol, a brief description, a large paper corpus, and ontology resources, agents must search for evidence and produce structured annotations such as function terms, expression patterns, and historical synonyms. The benchmark contains 7,397 expert‑curated annotations across 100 genes and evaluates different agent harnesses, revealing system‑level failure modes that single‑task evaluations miss.

arXiv:2605. 07022v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Manually curated biomedical repositories -- spanning bioactivity, genomics, and chemistry -- are expensive to maintain, lag behind primary literature, and discard experimental context, obscuring nuances needed to assess data correctness and coverage.
