bio-crispr-screens-in-vivo-screens

bio-crispr-screens-in-vivo-screens is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from GPTomics/bioSkills. It costs 228 tokens per session (3,769 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A planning and analysis workflow for CRISPR screens performed in animals, tumors, organoids, or transferred immune cells. It accounts for the small number of cells that may survive implantation and growth.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design focused guide libraries, recover DNA from tumor or tissue samples, and analyze hits with animal-specific coverage and replicate handling.
Why use it?
Animal experiments can lose many guide-carrying cells, so standard cell-culture assumptions may produce unreliable results.

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-crispr-screens-in-vivo-screens 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (examples/per_animal_meta_analysis.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 — 243 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Version Compatibility

Reference examples tested with: MAGeCK 0.5.9+, MAGeCK-VISPR 0.5.6+, pandas 2.2+, numpy 1.26+.

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

  • CLI: mageck --version
  • Reference focused libraries: Manguso 2017, Chen 2015, public Addgene aliquots

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

In Vivo CRISPR Screen Analysis

"Design or analyze an in vivo CRISPR screen" -> Account for the dramatic bottleneck during animal implantation and tumor growth; use focused libraries; recover DNA from tumor explants; analyze with bottleneck-adjusted hit calling.

  • CLI: mageck count + mageck test for standard analysis
  • Special handling: bottleneck-adjusted coverage thresholds; per-tissue per-animal replicate structure

The In Vivo Bottleneck Problem

Why in vivo screens differ from in vitro:

Constraint In vitro In vivo
Cells per condition 10M-100M (unlimited) Limited by injection volume (1-5M cells typical)
Implant -> early tumor cell count N/A 10-100x drop typical
Late tumor cell count N/A Further 5-10x reduction; ~4 sgRNAs/gene retained in late tumors (Scheidmann 2022)
Bottleneck per animal None Tens of millions of cells fail to engraft
Library coverage achievable 500-1000x Often 50-100x effective at endpoint
sgRNAs survivable Full library 66-97% in early (14 d) tumors, strongly cell-line dependent (Lee 2023); by 38-43 d most reads come from the top 1% of guides

Math: A 70,000-sgRNA library at 500x coverage requires 35M cells in pool. Most syngeneic models can implant 1-5M cells. Result: real coverage is 70x at best; effective coverage at endpoint is even lower after bottleneck.

Solution: Use focused libraries (500-3,000 genes; ~3,000-15,000 sgRNAs) to maintain reasonable coverage despite the bottleneck.

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-crispr-screens-in-vivo-screens is a skill published in the GitHub repository GPTomics/bioSkills (1,201 stars, last pushed 27d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 228 tokens to every session and 3,769 once invoked, about $0.0011 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.
