bio-copy-number-hrd-scoring

bio-copy-number-hrd-scoring is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from GPTomics/bioSkills. It costs 172 tokens per session (2,932 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for scoring homologous-recombination deficiency from tumor copy-number patterns. Homologous recombination is a DNA-repair process, and its deficiency leaves measurable genomic scars such as loss of heterozygosity, large-scale state transitions, and telomeric allelic imbalance.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to calculate LOH, LST, and TAI metrics with scarHRD, or apply whole-genome HRDetect and CHORD models when suitable data is available.
Why use it?
A tumor's past DNA-repair problems may not be obvious from a single mutation. Copy-number scar scores summarize that history and can support analysis of likely sensitivity to platinum drugs or PARP inhibitors.

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-hrd-scoring 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.

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

Version Compatibility

Reference examples tested with: R 4.3+ with scarHRD 0.1.1+, sequenza 3.0+ (allele-specific input); HRDetect / CHORD as their respective R packages where whole-genome data is available.

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

  • R: packageVersion('scarHRD') then ?scar_score to confirm arguments
  • scarHRD is GitHub-only (sztup/scarHRD); install with remotes::install_github

scarHRD consumes allele-specific copy number — a Sequenza .seqz file or an ASCAT/allele-specific segment table. It cannot run on relative log2 copy ratio.

HRD Scoring

"Is this tumor homologous-recombination deficient" -> HRD leaves characteristic copy-number scars. Three are quantified and summed into an HRD score: loss of heterozygosity (LOH), large-scale state transitions (LST), and telomeric allelic imbalance (TAI). A high score predicts response to platinum chemotherapy and PARP inhibitors. The scar score is a consequence of past HR deficiency — which is both its strength (it integrates over tumor history) and its key limitation.

  • R: scarHRD — the three genomic scars and their sum
  • Whole-genome: HRDetect (weighted multi-signature model), CHORD (random forest)
  • Input: allele-specific copy number from Sequenza or ASCAT (see allele-specific-copy-number)

The Three Genomic Scars

Scar Definition Captures
HRD-LOH Number of LOH segments > 15 Mb but shorter than a whole chromosome Large interstitial allelic loss
LST Chromosomal breaks between adjacent segments each >= 10 Mb, separated by < 3 Mb Large-scale rearrangement burden
TAI Number of subtelomeric regions with allelic imbalance not crossing the centromere Telomere-bounded allelic imbalance

The HRD score is the sum of the three (the "genomic instability score", GIS). Each component has a precise size rule — these thresholds (15 Mb, 10 Mb, 3 Mb) are not arbitrary; they were selected to correlate with BRCA1/BRCA2/RAD51C deficiency (Abkevich 2012, Popova 2012, Birkbak 2012).

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.
