bio-atac-seq-co-accessibility

bio-atac-seq-co-accessibility is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from GPTomics/bioSkills. It costs 92 tokens per session (4,582 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A method for estimating which nearby open-DNA regions, such as enhancers and promoters, are statistically linked in single-cell ATAC-seq data. It can suggest enhancer–gene pairs from chromatin accessibility without matching RNA measurements.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build peak-to-peak connection graphs, identify candidate enhancer–gene pairs, and infer gene-regulatory networks when combining ATAC-seq with RNA and DNA-motif data.
Why use it?
It helps connect regulatory DNA regions when you only have chromatin-accessibility data. The links are statistical associations, not direct measurements of three-dimensional DNA contact.

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-co-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 5d ago.

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 — 302 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Version Compatibility

Reference examples tested with: Cicero 1.20+, monocle3 1.3+, ArchR 1.0.2+, SCENIC+ 1.0+, pycisTopic 1.0+, Signac 1.13+, GenomicRanges 1.54+, GenomicInteractions 1.36+, BSgenome.Hsapiens.UCSC.hg38 1.4+.

Verify before use:

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

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

Co-accessibility (cis-Regulatory Linkage)

"Which enhancers connect to which promoters in my scATAC data?" -> Use cell-to-cell variability in joint accessibility of nearby peaks to infer cis-regulatory connections without explicit RNA expression. Output is a peak-pair graph with co-accessibility scores; thresholding produces enhancer-gene candidate pairs.

  • R: cicero::run_cicero(input_cds, genomic_coords) -> peak-pair connection scores
  • R: ArchR::addCoAccessibility(proj) -> ArchR-internal Cicero wrapper
  • Python: pycisTopic + SCENIC+ for network-level inference combining ATAC + RNA + motifs

Co-accessibility is NOT 3D contact; it's a statistical association based on cell-to-cell co-variation. Strong co-accessibility correlates with Hi-C/Micro-C contacts (~30-50% concordance) but is not equivalent.

What Co-accessibility Captures vs What It Doesn't

Captures Misses
Peak pairs that vary together across cell states 3D physical contacts that don't vary in accessibility
Cis-regulatory grammar within a cell type Trans-chromosomal interactions
Active enhancer-promoter pairs Constitutive structural contacts
Lineage-specific regulation Developmental contacts that opened before scATAC sample
Distance-decay biology of enhancer-promoter Hub enhancers that contact many distal targets

For physical contact, use Hi-C, Micro-C, or PCHi-C. Co-accessibility is the chromatin-only proxy.

Algorithmic Taxonomy

Tool Method Input Output Strength Fails when
Cicero (Pliner 2018) Graphical lasso on aggregated cell metacells scATAC peak-cell matrix + cell trajectory Peak-pair connection score (0-1) Original, well-validated; integrates with Monocle3 Slow on >50K cells; sensitive to alpha tuning
ArchR getCoAccessibility Cicero-based; uses ArchR's metacell aggregation ArchR project Same as Cicero Built-in to ArchR pipeline; faster on large datasets Tied to ArchR; same biology as Cicero
SCENIC+ (Bravo 2023) Multi-step: co-accessibility + motif scoring + RNA correlation Multiome (ATAC + RNA) or paired TF-driven enhancer-gene networks Most comprehensive; multi-modal Multiome data required; computationally heavy
LinkPeaks (Signac) Pearson correlation of accessibility with paired gene expression Multiome Peak-gene linkage score Direct enhancer-gene from RNA correlation Multiome-only; not pure ATAC
GeneHancer / FANTOM5 / EpiMap Bulk-derived enhancer-gene reference None (database lookup) Pre-computed enhancer-gene pairs Comprehensive; published references Cell-type-agnostic; may not match the biology of interest

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.
