# GeneAgent (Wang et al., 2025) - Context for this helper module
#
# GeneAgent is a self-verifying LLM pipeline that annotates gene sets and
# biologic claims. In the paper the agent consults 18 expert databases
# (GO, KEGG, Reactome, CORUM, BioPlanet ...).
#
# Several of those resources no longer expose an official JSON API in 2025
# (notably CORUM and BioPlanet). We therefore map each original source to a
# *publicly accessible stand-in* that covers the same information:
#
# • Protein-complex data → ComplexPortal REST (proxies CORUM)
# • Human pathway catalogue → Enrichr "BioPlanet_2019" library
#
# All other resources do still have live, token-free REST endpoints. This
# module provides thin test/wrapper functions for each one so that the main
# GeneAgent reproduction script can pull ontology terms, pathway hits,
# literature snippets, etc. exactly as described in the paper—just through
# modern URLs.
#
# Usage pattern inside this repo:
# 1. developer calls quickgo("apoptosis") → ontology demo
# 2. gprofiler([...]) → enrichment demo
# 3. etc.
#
# Each wrapper prints a small Rich table to prove connectivity but also
# returns the raw response object so the core pipeline can reuse it.

ROOT CAUSE ANALYSIS:
No enriched terms found because:
1. Too few genes for statistical significance (needed >10)
2. P-value threshold too strict for small gene sets
3. Organism not explicitly specified (might default wrong)
FIX APPLIED:
- Increased default gene set from 5 to 10 genes
- Explicitly specify organism as 'hsapiens'
- Relaxed p-value threshold to 0.1
- Added more cancer-related genes for better enrichment
