How to use AtlasBio
AtlasBio is source-first. You will see the actual ranked papers before any AI summary. Here is the 4-step flow.
Pick a database
Each database covers a different area of biomedical research. Pain questions go to a pain database, neurodegeneration questions to that one. Browse all databases to pick one.
Pick a mode and ask
Literature search is for open questions. Type in plain English, no keyword games: “What is the role of microglia in neuropathic pain?”
Hypothesis test is for claims: “TRPV1 antagonism reduces mechanical allodynia after SNI.” You will get supporting evidence, contradicting evidence, and a verdict.
Read papers first, synopsis last
Results come back as numbered paper cards. Each card shows a one-line plain-English summary. Click View matched passage to read the exact paragraph that earned the rank. The short AI synopsis is at the bottom of the page, not the top.
Save, re-run, or dig deeper
Registered users can save the full ranked paper set with one click. From the dashboard you can come back to the same source list, or hit Show different papers to pull the next set (the system excludes what you already saw and warns that supplementary results may be less relevant).
Quick tips
- Be specific. “Role of HCN1 in mechanical allodynia after spinal nerve injury” beats “ion channels in pain.”
- Cmd/Ctrl + Enter submits a query from the textarea.
- First query of the day. The very first query to a database can take a bit longer as the system gets ready. Subsequent queries are faster.
- Limits. Anonymous: 2 queries per 7 days. Registered: 5 queries per 72 hours.
