Biomarker Pathway Analysis is an agent skill from aws-samples/amazon-bedrock-agents-healthcare-lifesciences, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Use when a researcher needs to analyze biological pathways for biomarker discovery, map disease mechanisms to druggable targets using Reactome/KEGG, identify pathway enrichment from gene sets, or understand mechanism-of-action for candidate biomarkers.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files.
It sits in Research & Science. The licence is MIT-0.
5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9960565. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Biomarker Pathway Analysis loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 70 tokens; SKILL.md has 484 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

.claude/skills/biomarker-pathway-analysis/SKILL.md (or your agent's skills folder). This skill also uses 1 other file; get the full folder from GitHub.biomni-researchPathway analysis uses the biomni-research MCP server. Tools are discovered automatically — ask your question naturally and Claude will find the right tool.
Sources for gene sets:
biomarker-database-analysis (top genes by p-value)Use the biomni-research server with natural language queries:
| Goal | Query approach |
|---|---|
| Find pathways for a gene | "EGFR signaling pathways in Reactome" |
| Find disease pathways | "pathways involved in non-small cell lung cancer" |
| Get pathway interactions | "protein interaction network for CDK4" via STRING |
| Validate drug targets | "CDK4 drug target tractability" via Open Targets |
| Cross-reference function | "CDK4 molecular function and biological process" via UniProt |
Reactome organizes pathways hierarchically. Navigate from broad to specific:
Top-level: Signal Transduction
-> RAS signaling
-> KRAS activation
-> Downstream effectors (RAF, MEK, ERK)Decision tree for pathway depth:
For each pathway hit, assess druggability:
Query Open Targets for tractability assessment:
Check existing drugs:
Prioritize by:
Connect pathway findings back to biomarker candidates:
Gene (biomarker candidate)
-> Pathway membership (Reactome)
-> Disease relevance (pathway implicated in condition)
-> Mechanistic explanation (how gene contributes to disease)
-> Clinical utility (can measure this to stratify patients)EGFR pathway in NSCLC:
Metagene cluster interpretation:
Survival-associated pathway enrichment:
| Scenario | Recommended approach |
|---|---|
| Single gene of interest | Query Reactome + UniProt for function context |
| Gene panel (5-20 genes) | Pathway enrichment: find shared pathways |
| Drug target validation | Open Targets tractability + existing drugs |
| Mechanism explanation | Full pathway walk: gene -> pathway -> disease |
| Novel biomarker discovery | Combine pathway + expression + survival data |

Run `npx skills add aws-samples/amazon-bedrock-agents-healthcare-lifesciences --skill biomarker-pathway-analysis -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/biomarker-pathway-analysis in aws-samples/amazon-bedrock-agents-healthcare-lifesciences) into .claude/skills/biomarker-pathway-analysis in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add aws-samples/amazon-bedrock-agents-healthcare-lifesciences --skill biomarker-pathway-analysis -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/biomarker-pathway-analysis, .gemini/skills/biomarker-pathway-analysis, .github/skills/biomarker-pathway-analysis and .opencode/skills/biomarker-pathway-analysis in your project.
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Biomarker Pathway Analysis is instructions for the agent only.
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
Biomarker Pathway Analysis is published under the MIT-0 licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 1.2k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 4.7k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
