bio-atac-seq-nucleosome-positioning

bio-atac-seq-nucleosome-positioning is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from GPTomics/bioSkills. It costs 94 tokens per session (5,128 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for finding nucleosome positions and organization from ATAC-seq fragment sizes. Nucleosomes are DNA-wrapping structures that affect which parts of the genome are accessible.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to locate nucleosome centers, measure their occupancy and positioning variability, and study nucleosomes around regulatory DNA regions.
Why use it?
ATAC-seq data contains fragment-length patterns that can reveal whether nucleosomes are present and how regularly they are spaced. This helps describe chromatin structure around promoters and enhancers.

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-nucleosome-positioning scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 9d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 340 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Version Compatibility

Reference examples tested with: NucleoATAC 0.3.4+, ATACseqQC 1.26+, DANPOS 3.1+, samtools 1.19+, pysam 0.22+, pyBigWig 0.3+, BSgenome.Hsapiens.UCSC.hg38 1.4+, TxDb.Hsapiens.UCSC.hg38.knownGene 3.18+.

NucleoATAC is unmaintained since 2018 but remains the canonical ATAC-specific nucleosome caller; ATACseqQC, DANPOS3, and scprinter are actively developed alternatives. Verify versions before use:

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

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

Nucleosome Positioning

"Where are the nucleosomes in my ATAC-seq data?" -> Use fragment-size classes (Tn5 cuts twice through naked DNA generating short fragments; once on each side of a single nucleosome generating ~147+linker fragments) to call nucleosome centers, occupancy scores, and the spacing pattern around regulatory elements.

  • CLI: nucleoatac run --bed regions.bed --bam sample.bam --fasta genome.fa
  • R: ATACseqQC::splitGAlignmentsByCut() -> fragment classes; factorFootprints() -> per-TF flanking nuc analysis
  • CLI: python danpos.py dpos sample.bam (alternative; supports MNase, ATAC, DNase)
  • Python: scprinter for multi-scale nucleosome inference

Nucleosome Physics for ATAC

A nucleosome wraps ~147 bp DNA in 1.65 turns. Adjacent nucleosomes are separated by 20-50 bp linker; mean nucleosome repeat length (NRL) is species-dependent:

Cell type / organism NRL Notes
Yeast S. cerevisiae 165 bp Tightly packed; less linker
Drosophila S2 175-185 bp
Mouse ES cells 188-196 bp
Human HEK293 / K562 196-200 bp Standard somatic
Human cortical neurons 211 bp Longer linker
Sperm chromatin 240-250 bp Tight packaging via protamines
Active gene bodies -10 bp shorter than genome avg Active transcription disrupts

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-atac-seq-nucleosome-positioning is a skill published in the GitHub repository GPTomics/bioSkills (1,199 stars, last pushed 24d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 94 tokens to every session and 5,128 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
