Hello,

1. Yes, I am working on it, I will soon release it for Firefox and Safari (by this weekend). 2. For now I am just trying to see what people want, may be the business model is more focused on mcp for higher limits for labs, lets see where is goes. 3. The paper/article search already has author search, I can add the university search soon in both the paper/article and altas/map search.

Thank you for all the questions and suggestions.

It is all open, bulk-downloadable sources. Here are some links.

  - arXiv: bulk on S3 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/bulk_data_s3.html)
  - PubMed Central Open Access: AWS Open Data (s3://pmc-oa-opendata).
  - bioRxiv / medRxiv: their monthly S3 dumps
  - OpenAlex: for citations, metadata, abstracts (https://developers.openalex.org/download/download-to-machine) 
  - AlphaFold — structures (https://alphafold.ebi.ac.uk/download)
  
Thanks for the question.

The project has four parts, and I think you may have used the search in the navigation bar. That search is for the paper page (detailed information about that specific paper). When you search, you get a list of results, and if you click one of them, it takes you to a paper page with all the in-depth details about that paper. I should have made the map UX better.

To highlight things in the atlas or map, you might want to go to the filter panel on the left side and scroll down a bit. You will see a search area that helps you search for genes, diseases, and proteins. However it might not highlight any dot for the “ribosome” because filter search for now is only connected to genes, diseases and protein. I noted this, and I will improve it. I may also move that filter search to a different place. Thank you so much.

Tomesphere includes web pages and a browser extension overlays all of this directly on the arXiv, PMC, bioRxiv, Google Scholar, and medRxiv pages you are already reading. I had noticed the Paperclip MCP before, and from what I can see, they have very good data. In some cases, they may even have better data. We also have some additional sources, such as peer review from OpenReview, video links from YouTube and SlidesLive, GitHub links, AlphaFold protein entities, citations, and semantic neighbors.

Thank you for the questions. Will improve the project more.

Hi, I love the genre too. Cosmograph is wonderful, I did try it, but because of its license restriction I could not use it for this project. I do agree that beyond an initial "that's cool" this map may not contribute much, "and that's why I didn't make it the main product. I already had the data as I was building other things (extension, paper page) and wanted a bit of a cool factor so people would take a look at the project. The value is what's under each dot, the enriched page (TLDR, genes/drugs/diseases, trials, 3D structures, code, datasets, full text), extension and the MCP for agents.

Hello, I agree with you, viz are just cool and might not really have a usecase. In this project map is not the product, it is 1 of 4 parts and to be honest the least important. The value is what is under each dot, the enriched page (TLDR, genes/drugs/diseases, trials, protein structures, code, datasets, full text, images, reviews, etc) and the MCP for agents. You are welcome to use whichever part of the project is most useful to you (whether that is the map, paper pages, browser extension, or MCP).
