scikit-bio provides a Python-native biological data toolkit for reading/writing FASTA/Newick files, manipulating sequences, building alignments and phylogenies, and calculating diversity metrics for microbiome and ecology workflows.

This guide helps authors assess if their host-microbe or microbiome study meets the high mechanistic and significance standards required for top-tier journals. It covers scope fit, required level of mechanistic depth (beyond mere correlation), necessary in vivo validation, and adherence to specific journal formats like STAR Methods.

A comprehensive skill for assessing the fit, framing, and structural requirements for manuscripts targeting Gastroenterology or similar GI/hepatology venues. It analyzes scope, required methodology standards (e.g., for RCTs, microbiome studies), house style, and official submission checklists, ensuring authors meet the high academic bar for publication in digestive and liver sciences.
