Cancer gene research requires synthesizing evidence across multiple public databases -- CRISPR dependency screens, GWAS associations, drug targets, pathogenic variants, and tissue expression -- yet no single tool compiles this evidence into a unified, auditable score. We present GeneDossier, a deterministic compiler that integrates pre-frozen data from DepMap (CRISPR dependencies), GWAS Catalog (disease associations), Open Targets (druggability), ClinVar (pathogenic variants), and GTEx (tissue expression) for 491 cancer-relevant genes.

Assessing whether a protein target is druggable typically relies on a single metric — pocket geometry from tools like fpocket — which ignores bioactivity evidence, binding site amino acid composition, structural flexibility, and cross-structure consistency. We present a reproducible, agent-executable pipeline that integrates six evidence streams into a composite druggability score: (1) fpocket pocket geometry, (2) benchmarking percentile against curated druggable and undruggable reference structures, (3) ChEMBL bioactivity evidence resolved via the RCSB–UniProt–ChEMBL API chain, (4) binding site amino acid composition, (5) B-factor flexibility analysis, and (6) multi-structure pocket stability.
