Mention Categories
When you type @, the dropdown organizes resources into tabs:
| Tab | Contains | Examples |
|---|
| All | Everything available | All resources and files |
| Files | Your uploaded files and results | @sample.fastq, @results.csv |
| Databases | Reference databases | @UniProt, @NCBI, @PDB |
| Tools | Analysis software | @STAR, @GATK, @AlphaFold |
| Packages | R/Python libraries | @DESeq2, @Seurat, @pandas |
Search and Filtering
The mention search uses fuzzy matching—you don’t need exact names:
@deseq matches DESeq2
@uniprot matches UniProt
@sample matches all files containing “sample”

Multiple Mentions
Chain resources in a single request:
Align @sample_R1.fastq.gz and @sample_R2.fastq.gz using @STAR,
quantify with @featureCounts, then run differential expression
with @DESeq2 comparing treatment vs control
File Mentions
Reference files you’ve uploaded:
Analyze @experiment_data.csv
Reference output from previous analyses:
Using the @aligned_reads.bam from earlier, call variants with @GATK
Mentions are optional. Biomni can often infer the right tools from context—use @ when you want a specific resource.
