Overview

## What Life Science Research does

Life Science Research is a set of internal workflows for Codex that take a research question, work out which entities it refers to, normalize them, select the skills needed, and assemble an evidence-backed answer from public resources.

Subject range covers human genetics, functional genomics, expression data, pathways, protein structure, chemistry, pharmacology, published literature, clinical evidence, and the discovery of public studies. A research router entrypoint handles broad tasks, and independent lines of evidence can be split across subagents working at the same time.

The listed skills name the underlying sources, among them AlphaFold, Bgee, BindingDB, BioBank Japan PheWAS, bioRxiv, BioStudies ArrayExpress, cBioPortal, and CELLxGENE. The plugin is marked interactive, with read and write capabilities.

### Who it is for

Computational biologists and life science researchers who want database lookup and cited synthesis handled together.

### What stands out

Parallel subagents split independent evidence lanes, and a router picks the sources instead of requiring them to be named.

## Where Life Science Research is listed

Life Science Research is listed in the ChatGPT apps directory only. OpenAI has no connector under the same domain in the Claude directory; 392 of the 3,150 products here are on both marketplaces, and this is not one of them.

ChatGPT apps are built on MCP, and the same server can back a Claude connector, so the absence is a distribution decision rather than a technical one.
