ADMET Genetic Optimization
Use this skill to build and run a molecular optimization loop from seed SMILES. The target artifact is a ranked set of optimized candidate molecules with auditable lineage, scores, and report artifacts.
The sidecar deliberately does not provide a fixed GA engine. The agent must
assemble and tune mutation, crossover, evaluation, filtering, and selection for
the user's objective. kernel.py provides reusable molecule normalization,
ADMET aggregation, lineage validation, and result visualization.
Special Reminder
In this skill, when see references/<file_name>.md is suggested, use host call to retrieval the complementary material.
host.skills.read("admet_genetic", "references/<file_name>.md")
Prerequisites
conda create -n admet-sa-ga python=3.11 -y
conda activate admet-sa-ga
python -m pip install pandas pyyaml matplotlib rdkit
python -m pip install admet-ai
After creating the environment, select it with host.env.use("admet-sa-ga")
before importing this skill's sidecar. Switching environments restarts the
session kernel, so switch before constructing the in-memory pipeline.
See references/admet.md for ADMET-AI installation details, endpoint behavior, runtime notes, and troubleshooting.
Data Contracts
For molecular representation, expected fields, candidate recording and lineage logging, see references/data_contracts.md. Must view these contracts before running the main pipeline.
Core Workflow
- Collect user-provided seed molecules or uploaded files and normalize them into a CSV input. The CSV should contain
smiles; include molecule_id when stable user-facing IDs are available, otherwise synthesize deterministic IDs.
- Standardize each input using
standardize_smiles(...), then use canonicalize_smiles(...) from kernel.py where a strict canonical string is needed. Molecule ID and canonical SMILES must be one-to-one for all logged records.
- Design a genetic algorithm that includes molecular mutation and crossover. Match population size, generation count, operators, filters, and scoring weights to the user’s problem scale and constraints. For a starter design and implementation choices, see
references/ga.md.
- Evaluate each valid molecule with RDKit descriptors, QED, SA-Score, and ADMET predictions. Aggregate ADMET endpoints into
admet_score and admet_risk_flags; preserve raw endpoint outputs. See references/data_contracts.md for required evaluation fields.
- Apply hard filters, compute total score, select diverse candidates by Morgan fingerprint similarity, and update the population. See
references/ga.md for starter designs.
- Assess whether the final candidates improve on the seeds and satisfy the user’s requirements. If they do not, adjust GA parameters, mutation/crossover operators, filters, or scoring weights, then rerun the internal GA workflow before finalizing output.
- Output final candidates, logs, report, visualization dashboard, and any other produced artifacts. See Artifacts for log schema and lineage rules.
Import
from admet_genetic.kernel import (
aggregate_admet_predictions,
canonicalize_smiles,
classify_admet_columns,
operation_detail_json,
standardize_smiles,
validate_generation_log,
render_optimization_history,
)
Artifacts
Lineage Requirements
Treat lineage as a first-class data contract:
molecule_id identifies exactly one canonical smiles.
smiles is always the deduplicated canonical SMILES.
- For
operation == mutation, set parent to one parent ID and leave parents empty.
- For
operation == crossover, leave parent empty and set parents to exactly two parent IDs separated by ;.
operation_detail should be JSON containing operation name, operator detail, parent IDs, parent SMILES, and child canonical SMILES.
Record Schema
Before rendering or reporting, run validate_generation_log(frame) or equivalent assertions; see references/data_contracts.md.
Required Artifacts
When results are satisfactory, produce:
generation_log.csv with complete lineage and evaluation records.
candidates_final.csv with selected final candidates.
report.md as an audit-friendly report.
- molecule SVGs or embedded drawings when helpful.
- an optimization-history HTML dashboard via
render_optimization_history(log_path, out_path) from kernel.py. The rendered HTML is self-contained and uses embedded SVG molecule depictions and matplotlib-generated SVG plots.
- Other visualized artifacts suggested by system prompt or user requirements.
The visualization workflow expects generation_log.csv to follow the lineage contract; for visualization assumptions, see references/data_contracts.md.
In report.md, include:
- Run goal, input file, seed count, valid seed count, and deduplication/invalid counts.
- Dependency versions, especially RDKit, ADMET-AI, pandas, numpy, and Python.
- GA parameters and stop reason.
- Standardization policy and failure reason summary.
- Scoring formula, hard filters, diversity threshold, and ADMET endpoint mapping.
- Per-generation summary: count, generated count, best score, mean score, pass count.
- Top candidate table with ID, canonical SMILES, parent lineage, operation, QED, SA-Score, ADMET score, risk flags, total score, and pass/fail.
- A short interpretation of what improved, which risks dominate, and whether top hits mainly arise from mutation or crossover.
- Limitations: low-level operators, heuristic ADMET aggregation, model uncertainty, no experimental validation, no synthetic feasibility guarantee beyond SA-Score.
- Next steps: better mutation templates, medicinal chemistry constraints, external validation, improved diversity, and route feasibility checks.
State clearly when ADMET-AI failed or when a fallback was used. Do not present predicted ADMET, toxicity, conditions, or synthesizability as experimental fact.
Reproducible Example
The committed example under examples/ is a recorded four-generation test run.
It is an audit and visualization fixture, not evidence of experimental ADMET or
synthetic feasibility:
examples/
|-- seed_molecules.csv
|-- config.yaml
|-- generation_log.csv
|-- generation_summary.csv
|-- candidates_final.csv
|-- optimization_dashboard.html
|-- report.md
`-- build_example.py
generation_log.csv, generation_summary.csv, and config.yaml are the source
records used to rebuild the derived dashboard and report. The build does not run
the GA or ADMET-AI:
python skills/admet_genetic/examples/build_example.py
Use alternate output paths when checking reproducibility without replacing the
committed artifacts:
python skills/admet_genetic/examples/build_example.py \
--dashboard-output /tmp/admet-dashboard.html \
--report-output /tmp/admet-report.md
The example intentionally reports run metadata that was not captured rather
than inferring it. Exact dependency versions, the random seed, the explicit stop
reason, and invalid-input counts are unknown for this recorded run. Final
candidates are derived reproducibly from generation_log.csv: retain generated
molecules that pass a fresh hard-filter check against config.yaml, have no
ADMET failure, and strictly improve total score over the best seed in their
recorded ancestry. For each distinct ancestral-seed lineage, retain only its
highest-scoring qualifying molecule.
Dashboard QA
Before accepting a generated result, manually open the HTML dashboard and:
- move the generation slider through every recorded generation;
- select seed, mutation, and crossover records;
- confirm one-parent and two-parent lineage trees match
generation_log.csv;
- confirm scores, filter status, structures, and plots agree with the CSV files;
- check desktop and mobile widths for overflow or clipped labels;
- confirm the browser console has no errors.
