GeoVectorSearch is a lightweight Python SDK and command-line tool for semantic discovery of GEO datasets suitable for differential gene expression analysis. Powered by FAISS-based vector search and optional GPT-based filtering, it helps researchers and developers quickly identify relevant RNA-seq or microarray datasets.

Project description

🧬 GeoVectorSearch

GeoDatasetFinder is a lightweight Python SDK and command-line tool for discovering high-quality GEO gene expression datasets relevant to a disease or biological condition — optimized for differential expression (DE) analysis.

It combines semantic search using sentence embeddings with optional GPT-based filtering to help you rapidly identify suitable datasets for your research or pipeline.


🔍 Features

  • Natural language search for GEO datasets
  • Fast vector search using FAISS and prebuilt sentence embeddings
  • 🧠 Optional GPT filtering to assess dataset quality for DE analysis
  • 🧬 Supports microarray and RNA-seq datasets
  • 🖥️ Interactive CLI for a smooth user experience
  • 🧩 Easy to integrate into larger pipelines or SDKs
  • 💾 Save results locally for downstream analysis

📦 Installation

Install using your preferred package manager:

uv pip install geo-pysearch

Or clone the repository and install locally:

git clone https://github.com/Tinfloz/geo-vector-search.git
cd geo-vector-search
uv pip install .

🧪 Example (Python SDK)

from geo_pysearch.sdk import search_datasets

results = search_datasets(
    query="duchenne muscular dystrophy",
    dataset_type="microarray",
    top_k=50,
    use_gpt_filter=True,
    return_all_gpt_results=True
)

print(results.head())

Convenience methods:

from geo_pysearch.sdk import search_microarray, search_rnaseq

search_microarray("breast cancer")
search_rnaseq("lung fibrosis", use_gpt_filter=True)

💻 Example (CLI)

Launch the interactive CLI:

geo-search
  • Use the arrow keys to select dataset type and filtering options
  • Enter your disease query
  • Results will be saved to a local CSV file in a new directory
  • Review and use the datasets for downstream DE analysis

🧠 GPT Filtering (Optional)

If enabled, the SDK uses GPT to evaluate whether each dataset is suitable for differential gene expression analysis. You can configure GPT behavior with:

  • Adjustable confidence thresholds
