PlotGDP: an AI Agent for Bioinformatics Plotting

Abstract

High-quality bioinformatics plotting is important for biology research, especially when preparing for publications. However, the long learning curve and complex coding environment configuration often appear as inevitable costs towards the creation of publication-ready plots. Here, we present PlotGDP (https://plotgdp.biogdp.com/), an AI agent-based web server for bioinformatics plotting. Built on large language models (LLMs), the intelligent plotting agent is designed to accommodate various types of bioinformatics plots, while offering easy usage with simple natural language commands from users. No coding experience or environment deployment is required, since all the user-uploaded data is processed by LLM-generated codes on our remote high-performance server. Additionally, all plotting sessions are based on curated template scripts to minimize the risk of hallucinations from the LLM. Aided by PlotGDP, we hope to contribute to the global biology research community by constructing an online platform for fast and high-quality bioinformatics visualization.
