# Science & Research

> Solve math and chemistry problems with clean equation formatting, run BLAST bioinformatics searches, and explore scientific topics.

Pria supports technical and scientific work: it renders equations cleanly, walks through math and chemistry step by step, can compute with Wolfram Alpha, run specialized bioinformatics searches, and look up clinical-trial and genomic data — all from chat.

## Math & Chemistry

Ask a math or chemistry question and Pria responds with properly formatted equations (LaTeX/KaTeX) and a step-by-step solution. Balance reactions, work integrals, solve stoichiometry, or check a derivation.

```text Prompt wrap icon="comment" theme={null}
Evaluate the triple integral of f(x,y,z) = z over the upper half of the
sphere of radius 2.
```

```text Prompt wrap icon="comment" theme={null}
If 20.86 mL of 2.29 M potassium iodide reaches the equivalence point with
16.29 mL of lead (II) nitrate, find the molarity of the lead (II) nitrate.
First write the balanced equation.
```

<Tip>
  For precise numeric computation, ask Pria to use Wolfram Alpha — useful for symbolic algebra, unit conversions, and verified calculations.

## BLAST Bioinformatics Search

Pria can run a BLAST search to compare a DNA, RNA, or protein sequence against reference databases and report regions of similarity. Supported search types include:

* **blastn** — nucleotide vs. nucleotide
* **blastp** — protein vs. protein
* **blastx** — nucleotide query vs. protein database
* **tblastn** — protein query vs. nucleotide database

Paste your sequence and ask, optionally saving the result to your vault.

```text Prompt wrap icon="comment" theme={null}
Run a blastp search for this protein sequence and save the result:
MKVKVLSLLVPALLVAGAANAAEVYNKDGNKLDLYGKVDGLHYFSDNKD...
```

Pria returns the top hits with their identity scores, E-values, organisms, and a plain-language summary of what the matches mean (for example, identifying a conserved protein family).

## Research Lookups

Beyond computation, Pria can search scholarly and scientific sources to support your work — academic papers, patents, clinical trials, and genomic records — and pull the findings into your conversation.

```text Prompt wrap icon="comment" theme={null}
Find recent clinical trials for CRISPR-based sickle cell treatments.
```

## Tips & Limits

* Always verify scientific results for critical work — confirm BLAST hits, citations, and calculations against primary sources.
* Specialized searches (BLAST, Wolfram, scholar) consume credits like any AI action.
* For literature you want Pria to reference repeatedly, upload the papers to your vault so they become part of your searchable knowledge.
