bio-crispr-screens-bagel-essentiality

bio-crispr-screens-bagel-essentiality is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from GPTomics/bioSkills. It costs 220 tokens per session (3,880 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for finding essential genes from CRISPR-Cas9 fitness screens using BAGEL2. An essential gene is one that cells generally need to survive or grow under the tested conditions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to calculate guide fold changes, derive BAGEL2 Bayes Factors, and evaluate thresholds with precision-recall curves.
Why use it?
Guide-level changes in cell growth must be combined and compared with known essential and non-essential genes. This turns screen counts into gene-level evidence with calibrated scoring.

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-crispr-screens-bagel-essentiality 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 7d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (examples/run_bagel2.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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 254 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Version Compatibility

Reference examples tested with: BAGEL2 2.0 (hart-lab/bagel, build 115), pandas 2.2+, numpy 1.26+, scipy 1.12+, matplotlib 3.8+.

Before using code patterns, verify installed versions match. If versions differ:

  • CLI: BAGEL.py fc --help; BAGEL.py bf --help; BAGEL.py pr --help
  • Python: BAGEL2 is distributed via git clone (no canonical PyPI release); confirm BAGEL.py version after checkout.

If code throws ImportError, AttributeError, or TypeError, introspect the installed package and adapt the example to match the actual API rather than retrying.

BAGEL2 Essentiality Analysis

"Identify essential genes from my CRISPR fitness screen using BAGEL2" -> Compute per-sgRNA fold changes from counts, derive per-gene log-likelihood ratios against reference essential and non-essential gene sets, sum to Bayes Factor, and apply BF threshold calibrated by precision-recall against the reference.

  • CLI: BAGEL.py fc to compute fold changes
  • CLI: BAGEL.py bf to compute Bayes Factors
  • CLI: BAGEL.py pr for precision-recall curves
  • Reference sets: CEGv2 (essentials) and NEGv1 (non-essentials); both at https://github.com/hart-lab/bagel

The BAGEL2 Bayesian Framework (under the hood)

Why this matters for postdoc-level use: BAGEL2 uses a Bayes-factor classifier trained on known essential and non-essential genes. The chain:

  1. For each sgRNA, compute log-fold-change (LFC) treatment vs control.
  2. For each gene, look up per-sgRNA LFCs.
  3. For each sgRNA, compute the log-likelihood ratio: log( P(LFC | gene is essential) / P(LFC | gene is non-essential) ). The numerator and denominator are KDEs (kernel density estimates) of LFC distributions from CEGv2 and NEGv1 reference sgRNAs.
  4. Sum per-gene log-likelihood ratios across all sgRNAs targeting the gene -> per-gene Bayes Factor.
  5. Resampling for the confidence interval (default: 10-fold cross-validation; -b switches to bootstrapping with -NB, default 1000); BF >6 corresponds to ~90% posterior probability (Hart 2017 G3); ~5% FDR by BAGEL convention.

Changes

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.

bio-crispr-screens-bagel-essentiality is a skill published in the GitHub repository GPTomics/bioSkills (1,199 stars, last pushed 26d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 220 tokens to every session and 3,880 once invoked, about $0.0011 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
