Best Gemini prompts for Biological Scientists, All Other

Given a dataset of genomic sequences in FASTA format, use Google Cloud's Genomics API to align the sequences to a reference genome, then visualize the alignments using Google Data Studio and identify any notable patterns or variations. Assume the dataset is stored in a Google Cloud Storage bucket and the reference genome is publicly available. Provide a detailed report on the visualization and any insights gained from the analysis, including recommendations for further investigation.

Using the Google Colab platform and the AlphaFold algorithm, predict the 3D structure of a protein given its amino acid sequence, then analyze the predicted structure using molecular visualization tools such as PyMOL or Chimera. Identify any notable features, such as binding sites or functional domains, and provide a detailed report on the predicted structure and its potential implications for protein function. Assume the amino acid sequence is provided in a text file and the AlphaFold model is pre-trained and available in Google Colab.

Given a microarray dataset in CEL format, use the Google Genomics API and the Bioconductor package in R to perform differential expression analysis and identify genes that are significantly up- or down-regulated between two experimental conditions. Assume the dataset is stored in a Google Cloud Storage bucket and the experimental conditions are defined in a separate metadata file. Provide a detailed report on the differential expression results, including a list of significantly regulated genes and their corresponding fold changes, as well as recommendations for further validation and investigation.

Using the Google Cloud's AI Platform and the BEAST algorithm, reconstruct a phylogenetic tree from a dataset of DNA sequences in Nexus format, then estimate the divergence times between species using a molecular clock model. Assume the dataset is stored in a Google Cloud Storage bucket and the BEAST model is pre-configured and available in Google Cloud's AI Platform. Provide a detailed report on the reconstructed phylogenetic tree and estimated divergence times, including any notable patterns or insights gained from the analysis, as well as recommendations for further investigation and validation.
