bio-sashimi-plots

bio-sashimi-plots is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from GPTomics/bioSkills. It costs 160 tokens per session (5,009 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A toolkit for making sashimi plots: RNA-sequencing charts that show read coverage and arcs for reads crossing splice junctions. The plots help display how a gene's RNA is assembled.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create publication figures, examine suspected alternative splicing, and visualize results from BAM files or supported splicing-analysis programs.
Why use it?
Tables of splicing results can be difficult to verify visually. These plots let you inspect the supporting reads and compare groups in a genomic region.

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-sashimi-plots 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (examples/plot_sashimi.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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 392 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Version Compatibility

Reference examples tested with: ggsashimi 1.1+, rmats2sashimiplot 3.0+, MAJIQ 3.0+, leafcutter 0.2.9+, pyGenomeTracks 3.8+, ggplot2 3.5+, pandas 2.2+

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.

Sashimi Plot Visualization

Visualize RNA-seq coverage tracks with splice junction arcs labeled by read count. Sashimi plots originated with MISO (Katz 2010 Nat Methods); modern tools differ in input handling, group aggregation logic, and customization. Tool choice is not interchangeable — some tools work only with specific upstream output formats.

Tool Selection Matrix

Tool Best for Input Strengths Fails when
ggsashimi Publication-quality grouped overlays from any BAM BAMs + region --overlay aggregates samples within a group; clean PDFs No native rMATS/MAJIQ integration; need to extract coords manually
rmats2sashimiplot One-line plot from rMATS output rMATS event file + BAMs No manual coord extraction rMATS-specific; doesn't handle leafcutter or MAJIQ
MAJIQ-VOILA Interactive LSV browsing with posterior PSI distributions MAJIQ build + psi/deltapsi Splice-graph topology; LSV-aware; posterior violins Static figures; non-academic license
leafviz Cluster-level interactive browsing with NMD annotation leafcutter differential output Filter table + sashimi-like plots; NMD-aware leafcutter-specific
Jutils Unified output across rMATS, leafcutter, MntJULiP, MAJIQ Tool-specific differential output Heatmaps, Venn, sashimi tool-agnostically Output less polished than ggsashimi
pyGenomeTracks Multi-track publication figures (RNA-seq + ChIP/ATAC) BigWig + BED + GTF Combine RNA with chromatin tracks Not splicing-specific; configure tracks manually
IGV (interactive) Quick ad-hoc inspection BAM + region Scrollable, instant Not for publication figures
MISO sashimi Historical MISO output Original sashimi format MISO unmaintained; no longer recommended

Changes

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-sashimi-plots is a skill published in the GitHub repository GPTomics/bioSkills (1,199 stars, last pushed 24d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 160 tokens to every session and 5,009 once invoked, about $0.0008 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (runs shell commands). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
