bio-copy-number-cnv-visualization

bio-copy-number-cnv-visualization is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from GPTomics/bioSkills. It costs 130 tokens per session (3,527 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to plotting copy-number results from sequencing callers such as CNVkit, GATK, ASCAT, FACETS, and Sequenza. It covers genome-wide profiles, chromosome diagrams, allele tracks, and cohort heatmaps.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to visualize copy-number segments, log2 ratios, allele-specific measurements, chromosome-wide patterns, and differences across samples.
Why use it?
It helps make copy-number figures that support accurate conclusions instead of hiding baseline, purity, or measurement limitations.

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-copy-number-cnv-visualization 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/plot_cnv.py), 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 — 251 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Version Compatibility

Reference examples tested with: matplotlib 3.8+, pandas 2.2+, numpy 1.26+, seaborn 0.13+, CNVkit 0.9.10+, GATK 4.5+; R 4.3+ with ggplot2 3.5+.

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

  • Python: pip show matplotlib pandas then help(function) for signatures
  • R: packageVersion('ggplot2') then ?function_name
  • CLI: cnvkit.py version, gatk --version

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

CNV Visualization

"Plot my copy number profile" -> A CNV figure is an argument, not a picture. The plot type, the y-axis quantity, and where the diploid baseline sits all determine what the reader can conclude. The single most important rule: a depth-only log2 plot cannot show loss of heterozygosity, cannot show tumor purity, and silently misleads if the diploid baseline is centered on a non-diploid mode.

  • CLI: cnvkit.py scatter / diagram / heatmap; gatk PlotModeledSegments
  • Python: matplotlib for custom genome-wide and allele-specific tracks
  • R: ggplot2, karyoploteR for publication ideograms

Plot Selection — What Each View Reveals and Hides

Plot Answers Reveals Cannot show
Genome-wide log2 scatter + segments Where are the gains/losses? Focal vs broad events, noise level LOH, purity, allele-specific state
Per-chromosome scatter Is this focal event real and where are its boundaries? Breakpoints, bin support, weight Absolute CN without purity
BAF / minor-allele-fraction track Is there allelic imbalance / LOH? CN-neutral LOH, mirrored imbalance Total copy number alone
Combined log2 + BAF (two-panel) What is the allele-specific state? Gains vs CN-LOH vs balanced — (this is the complete view)
Cohort heatmap What is recurrent across samples? Shared arm/focal events Per-sample breakpoint detail
Ideogram / diagram Where do events sit relative to cytobands/genes? Gene-level context Quantitative amplitude
Circos Genome-wide CNV + SV breakpoints together CNV-SV co-localization Fine amplitude detail
Caller-native (GATK/ASCAT/FACETS) Did the caller fit correctly? Model fit, segment confidence — (diagnostic, not publication)

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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-copy-number-cnv-visualization is a skill published in the GitHub repository GPTomics/bioSkills (1,199 stars, last pushed 26d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 130 tokens to every session and 3,527 once invoked, about $0.0006 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.
