bio-clinical-databases-hla-typing

bio-clinical-databases-hla-typing is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from GPTomics/bioSkills. It costs 139 tokens per session (7,609 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for determining HLA gene types from genome, exome, RNA, or long-read sequencing. HLA genes help the immune system recognise cells and are important in transplant and treatment decisions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for transplant matching, neoantigen prediction, pharmacogenomic screening, or reporting HLA class I and class II alleles.
Why use it?
It handles the complex matching of HLA alleles, including different levels of naming detail and regularly updated reference databases.

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-clinical-databases-hla-typing 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 2 executable files (examples/optitype_workflow.sh, examples/t1k_workflow.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 — 387 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Version Compatibility

Reference examples tested with: OptiType 1.3.5, HLA-LA 1.0.4, T1K 1.0.6 (Song 2023), Polysolver 4.0, HLA-HD 1.7.1, arcasHLA 0.6.0, StarPhase 1.0+ (PacBio), HIBAG 1.40+, samtools 1.19+, bwa-mem 0.7.17+. IPD-IMGT/HLA database release frequency is quarterly; tools must be re-bundled with the current release to capture new alleles (~38,000 alleles at Jan 2024; ~43,000+ by Jul 2025).

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

  • Python: pip show <package> then help(module.function) to check signatures
  • CLI: <tool> --version then <tool> --help to confirm flags

If code throws ImportError, AttributeError, or TypeError, introspect the installed package and adapt the example to match the actual API rather than retrying. Tool reference-bundle vintage matters more than algorithm choice for non-European cohorts; a 2022-bundled HLA-LA will silently miss thousands of post-2022 alleles dominant in African and South Asian ancestry.

HLA Typing for Clinical Applications

'Determine HLA genotype for HSCT / neoantigen prediction / PGx screening' -> Call HLA class I (A, B, C) and class II (DRB1, DRB3/4/5, DQA1, DQB1, DPA1, DPB1) alleles at the resolution required by the downstream application.

  • CLI (general-purpose all-rounder): t1k --preset hla -1 R1.fq -2 R2.fq -f hla_reference.fa
  • CLI (class I gold standard from WES/WGS): OptiTypePipeline.py -i R1.fq R2.fq -d
  • CLI (class I + II with PRG): HLA-LA.pl --BAM input.bam --graph PRG_MHC_GRCh38_withIMGT
  • CLI (RNA-seq): arcasHLA extract sample.bam -o out && arcasHLA genotype out/sample.extracted.fq.gz
  • CLI (long-read transplant-grade): PacBio HiFi StarPhase
  • R (imputation from SNP arrays): HIBAG::predict() with ancestry-stratified reference panel

Resolution Levels and What Each Application Requires

HLA nomenclature: HLA-A*02:01:01:01 = family : protein-changing : synonymous : intronic/UTR. Expression suffixes: N (null; DNA present, no protein expressed); L (low expression); S (secreted); Q (questionable); A (aberrant). A serologically apparent DR4-positive donor carrying DRB4*01:03:01:02N is functionally DR53-negative; a classic HSCT donor-selection failure.

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-clinical-databases-hla-typing is a skill published in the GitHub repository GPTomics/bioSkills (1,201 stars, last pushed 26d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 139 tokens to every session and 7,609 once invoked, about $0.0007 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.
