bio-atac-seq-allele-specific-accessibility

bio-atac-seq-allele-specific-accessibility is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from GPTomics/bioSkills. It costs 93 tokens per session (4,582 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Methods for detecting whether the two inherited versions of a DNA site have different levels of chromatin accessibility in ATAC-seq data. A strong imbalance in reads from the two alleles can indicate a nearby regulatory effect acting in cis, meaning on the same DNA copy.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to test heterozygous variants, count reads supporting each allele, reduce reference-mapping bias, identify allele-specific accessibility, and support chromatin QTL or GWAS follow-up analyses.
Why use it?
It helps separate allele-linked regulatory effects from effects caused elsewhere in the cell. Special filtering is needed because mapping software can prefer reads matching the reference sequence.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

bio-atac-seq-allele-specific-accessibility scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (examples/wasp_ase_pipeline.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Version Compatibility

Reference examples tested with: WASP 0.3.4+, GATK 4.4+, RASQUAL 1.1+, samtools 1.19+, bcftools 1.19+, vcftools 0.1.16+, plink 2.00+, MatrixEQTL 2.3+, QuASAR 0.1+, bowtie2 2.5+, bwa-mem2 2.2.1+, scipy 1.11+ (false_discovery_control), pandas 2+, pybedtools 0.10+.

Verify before use:

  • CLI: <tool> --version then <tool> --help to confirm flags
  • Python: pip show <package> then help(module.function) to check signatures
  • R: packageVersion('<pkg>') then ?function_name to verify parameters

If code throws unexpected errors, introspect the installed package and adapt rather than retrying.

Allele-Specific Accessibility

"Does this heterozygous SNP affect chromatin accessibility on its allele?" -> Count ATAC reads supporting reference vs alternative allele at heterozygous sites in the same individual; significant deviation from 50:50 indicates cis-regulatory effect. Requires careful handling of reference-allele mapping bias (WASP filtering) and within-individual binomial testing.

  • CLI: WASP (Geijn 2015) for de-biased reference mapping
  • CLI: gatk ASEReadCounter for allele-specific count tables
  • CLI: RASQUAL (Kumasaka 2016) for joint cis-mapping with allelic counts
  • R: QuASAR (Harvey 2015) for genotype + ASE inference simultaneously

ASE/ASB analysis is fundamentally different from cohort-level differential. Statistical framework is binomial within-individual; sample size is the count of heterozygous SNPs in accessible regions, not the number of individuals.

Algorithmic Taxonomy

Tool Method Input Strength Fails when
WASP (Geijn 2015) Realign reads where alt allele swap could change mapping; filter mapping-bias affected sites BAM + VCF + reference Mandatory for any ASE/ASB analysis; controls reference-allele bias Slow on deep coverage; requires re-alignment step
GATK ASEReadCounter Count REF and ALT reads at known heterozygous sites BAM + VCF Mature; integrates with GATK ecosystem; standard counter Doesn't fix mapping bias (needs WASP first); single-sample
RASQUAL (Kumasaka 2016) Joint cis-eQTL/caQTL model: total counts + allelic imbalance BAM + VCF + peak counts Best statistical power for caQTL when sample size is moderate (N=20-100); models genotype uncertainty Complex setup; per-feature regression (slow); requires LD computation
QuASAR (Harvey 2015) Genotype + ASE inference from RNA-seq or ATAC alone BAM (no VCF needed) Useful when genotypes are limited; integrates phasing Less accurate than WASP+GATK when genotypes are known
MatrixEQTL on per-feature counts Linear model fit on accessibility per peak Genotypes + peak counts Standard cohort-level caQTL; well-supported No allelic imbalance information; needs sample size N >= 50
Allelic Imbalance from Bayesian models (MAJIQ-style) Bayesian beta-binomial BAM + VCF Models overdispersion appropriately Niche; less mature than WASP+GATK

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
