Anara connects to the major scientific databases used in biomedical research — PubMed, bioRxiv, medRxiv, and ClinicalTrials.gov. Once connected, you can search any of these databases directly from your chat and get source-grounded answers alongside your own library.
No account login required. These are public databases, so the connection is enabled directly.
Available science databases
PubMed — The primary database for peer-reviewed biomedical and life sciences literature, maintained by the National Library of Medicine.
bioRxiv / medRxiv — Preprint servers for biology and health sciences. Find the latest research before formal peer review.
ClinicalTrials.gov — The U.S. registry of clinical studies. Search by condition, intervention, or sponsor.
How to connect
Go to Settings > Connectors.
Find the database you want to connect (PubMed, bioRxiv/medRxiv, or ClinicalTrials.gov) and click Connect.
No login required — the connection is enabled immediately.
Searching from chat
Once connected, type @ in the chat input. Your connected science databases will appear under Sources. Select one to scope your search.
A few examples of what you can ask:
@PubMed: "What are the latest treatment options for pancreatic cancer?" — Anara searches PubMed and returns relevant papers with citations.
@bioRxiv: "Recent preprints on CRISPR base editing" — Surfaces the latest work before formal peer review.
@ClinicalTrials: "Active trials for type 2 diabetes with GLP-1 agonists" — Returns registered studies matching your criteria.
Tip: Combine a science database with @Library to ask questions that cross-reference your own research with the broader literature in a single query.
If science databases aren't returning results
Connector not appearing in the @ menu? Check that it's connected in Settings > Connectors. If it shows as connected but doesn't appear, disconnect and reconnect.
Results seem incomplete? Science database searches are live queries against public APIs. Results depend on what's indexed in those databases. Try varying your query terms.
