# Biomarker Discovery Pipeline

**Discipline**: Precision Medicine | **Tools Used**: 4 | **Servers**: 4

## Description

Discover biomarkers: TCGA differential expression, NCBI gene data, OpenTargets associations, and clinical relevance.

## Tools Used

- **`tcga_differential_expression_analysis`** from `tcga-server` (streamable-http) - `https://scp.intern-ai.org.cn/api/v1/mcp/11/Origene-TCGA`
- **`get_gene_metadata_by_gene_name`** from `ncbi-server` (streamable-http) - `https://scp.intern-ai.org.cn/api/v1/mcp/9/Origene-NCBI`
- **`get_associated_targets_by_disease_efoId`** from `opentargets-server` (streamable-http) - `https://scp.intern-ai.org.cn/api/v1/mcp/15/Origene-OpenTargets`
- **`clinvar_search`** from `search-server` (streamable-http) - `https://scp.intern-ai.org.cn/api/v1/mcp/7/Origene-Search`

## Workflow

1. Run TCGA differential expression
2. Get gene metadata
3. Get OpenTargets associations
4. Search ClinVar variants

## Test Case

### Input
```json
{
    "query": "biomarkers for breast cancer",
    "gene": "BRCA1",
    "disease_efo": "EFO_0000305"
}
```

### Expected Steps
1. Run TCGA differential expression
2. Get gene metadata
3. Get OpenTargets associations
4. Search ClinVar variants

## Usage Example

> **Note:** Replace `<YOUR_SCP_HUB_API_KEY>` with your own SCP Hub API Key. You can obtain one from the [SCP Platform](https://scphub.intern-ai.org.cn).

```python

    "opentargets-server": "https://scp.intern-ai.org.cn/api/v1/mcp/15/Origene-OpenTargets",
    "search-server": "https://scp.intern-ai.org.cn/api/v1/mcp/7/Origene-Search"
