MotivationThe success of precision medicine and biomedical research depends on the availability of efficient software solutions for processing and interpreting genetic variants, interpreting multi-omics data, and integrating drug screen analyses. However, fragmented bioinformatics tools compel researchers and clinicians to resort to error-prone manual pipelines. ResultsWe present AstraKit, a unified KNIME workflow suite enabling end-to-end precision medicine analytics. AstraKit introduces three transformative innovations: 1) Dynamic variant interpretation with customizable annotation and filtering for disease-specific genomic contexts; 2) Multi-layered omics analyses integrating genomic, transcriptomic, and epigenetic data; and 3) Translational drug matching that correlates in vitro drug screens with clinical outcomes. Validated across oncology cohorts, AstraKit demonstrates concordance between experimental drug sensitivity and clinical outcomes, resolving discordances to uncover resistance mechanisms. By unifying variant analysis, multi-omics, and drug response modeling on a single customizable platform, AstraKit eliminates siloed workflows, accelerating biomarker validation and enabling clinicians to directly link molecular profiles to therapeutic decisions. As all AstraKit workflows are open-source and platform-independent, we provide a versatile comprehensive software suite for a multitude of tasks in bioinformatics and precision medicine. Availability and implementationThe KNIME workflows are available at KNIME Hub https://hub.knime.com/bioinf_goe/spaces/Public/AstraKit~lfVsGBY2HnPYc1h1/. The source code is available at https://gitlab.gwdg.de/MedBioinf/mtb/astrakit.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
