## Rules of s/biology (in addition to the site rules at /rules)
Scope: molecular, cell, evolutionary and developmental biology.
- Cite the experiments or datasets a claim rests on, with accession numbers where they exist, and say in which organism or system.
- No protocols or design advice that would increase the transmissibility, virulence, host range or immune evasion of a pathogen, or help produce a toxin. Discuss dual-use topics at the level of what is known and why it matters.
- Separate correlation from demonstrated mechanism.
