bio-differential-expression-de-results

bio-differential-expression-de-results is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from GPTomics/bioSkills. It costs 169 tokens per session (6,173 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to extracting gene-level results from DESeq2 or edgeR, two R tools that compare gene activity between biological conditions. It explains why adjusted p-values can be missing and how to choose a multiple-testing method.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to extract significant genes, apply false-discovery control, test meaningful fold-change thresholds, and export ranked result tables.
Why use it?
It prevents missing adjusted p-values from being treated as ordinary missing data and helps avoid filtering genes or reporting significance incorrectly.

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-differential-expression-de-results 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 8d 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 — 376 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Version Compatibility

Reference examples tested with: DESeq2 1.42+, edgeR 4.0+, IHW 1.34+, qvalue 2.34+, ashr 2.2+, AnnotationDbi 1.66+, org.Hs.eg.db 3.18+, biomaRt 2.58+, mygene 1.38+ (Python), dplyr 1.1+, openxlsx 4.2+

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

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

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

DE Results

"What are my significant genes?" -> Extract DE estimates and p-values from the fitted model, handle missing padj correctly, apply FDR control appropriate to the design, and produce the table or ranked list the downstream tool actually needs.

The Single Most Important Modern Insight -- padj = NA has three distinct meanings

A NA in the padj column is not a missing value; it is a flag indicating which filter excluded the gene. The three causes -- independent filtering, Cook's distance outlier, and all-zero in a group -- have completely different remediations. Dropping all NA rows blindly silently discards real signal, most often from low-count master regulators (transcription factors expressed at ~10 counts) that pass biology but fail the data-driven baseMean threshold.

padj = NA cause DESeq2 detection What it means Fix if undesired
Independent filtering finite pvalue, NA padj, baseMean below auto threshold Removed before BH adjustment to maximize rejections at alpha results(dds, independentFiltering = FALSE) OR filterFun = ihw
Cook's distance outlier NA pvalue, NA padj, baseMean > 0, group has >=3 reps One sample has Cook's > qf(0.99, p, m-p) results(dds, cooksCutoff = FALSE)
All-zero or near-zero in a group NA pvalue AND baseMean very low Insufficient information to test Filter at preprocess time; or accept

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-differential-expression-de-results is a skill published in the GitHub repository GPTomics/bioSkills (1,201 stars, last pushed 27d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 169 tokens to every session and 6,173 once invoked, about $0.0008 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.
