This handbook is for education, research planning, and technical evaluation. It is not medical advice, public health guidance, legal advice, biosafety guidance, or regulatory advice.

In Scope

  • AI models for biological sequence, structure, molecular, cellular, imaging, and experimental data.
  • Biomedical discovery, biotechnology, and translational research workflows.
  • Evaluation, reproducibility, information hazards, and institutional readiness.

Out of Scope

  • Patient-specific medical advice.
  • Operational biosafety protocols.
  • Step-by-step instructions for biological misuse.
  • Product endorsement.
  • Legal or regulatory determinations.

Claim Calibration

The handbook uses Demonstrated, Theoretical, and Beyond current capabilities to prevent unsupported certainty. When evidence is mixed, the text favors the lower-confidence tier.
