ClawBio Guide
Overview
ClawBio is a bioinformatics skill library for OpenClaw that provides pre-built skills for common genomics and biological analysis tasks — sequence alignment, variant calling, differential expression, pathway analysis, and more. Each skill encapsulates best-practice bioinformatics pipelines as conversational agent capabilities, making complex analyses accessible through natural language.
Installation
# Install as OpenClaw plugin
openclaw plugins install @clawbio/clawbio
# Or add to your OpenClaw configuration
# In openclaw.config.json:
{
"plugins": ["@clawbio/clawbio"]
}
Available Skills
| Skill | Pipeline | Description |
|---|---|---|
| sequence-align | BWA/Bowtie2 | Align reads to reference genome |
| variant-call | GATK/BCFtools | Call SNPs and indels |
| rna-seq | STAR + DESeq2 | Differential expression analysis |
| chip-seq | MACS2 + DiffBind | Peak calling and differential binding |
| metagenomics | Kraken2 + Bracken | Taxonomic classification |
| phylogenetics | IQ-TREE + RAxML | Phylogenetic tree construction |
| protein-structure | AlphaFold/ESMFold | Structure prediction |
| pathway-analysis | GSEA + enrichR | Gene set enrichment |
Usage Examples
RNA-Seq Analysis
# Through OpenClaw conversational interface:
# "Analyze differential expression between treated and control
# samples in the data/rnaseq/ directory"
# ClawBio executes:
# 1. Quality control (FastQC)
# 2. Trimming (Trimmomatic)
# 3. Alignment (STAR)
# 4. Quantification (featureCounts)
# 5. Differential expression (DESeq2)
# 6. Visualization (volcano plot, MA plot, heatmap)
# 7. Pathway enrichment (GSEA)
