Data Science & ML

Automates Benchling life sciences workflows and manages biological data via the Python SDK and REST API.

About

This skill empowers Claude to interact seamlessly with the Benchling R&D platform, a leading cloud solution for life sciences research. It provides specialized implementation patterns for managing the Benchling Registry (DNA, RNA, and protein sequences), tracking physical inventory, and automating Electronic Lab Notebook (ELN) entries. By leveraging the Benchling Python SDK, the skill simplifies complex laboratory operations such as bulk entity imports, workflow task management, and Data Warehouse querying. It is ideal for bioinformaticians and R&D engineers looking to build robust lab automation pipelines or custom Benchling Apps while adhering to security and API best practices.
