bio-single-cell-splicing

bio-single-cell-splicing is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from GPTomics/bioSkills. It costs 230 tokens per session (7,042 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Methods for studying alternative splicing in individual cells. The available information depends strongly on the sequencing method: many droplet-based 3′ methods capture too little of the gene body, while full-length or long-read methods provide more splice information.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to assess whether single-cell data support splice analysis, study isoform or splice-event differences between cell types, and select suitable tools for full-length, long-read, or 3′ data.
Why use it?
It helps avoid drawing splice conclusions from data that cannot contain enough reads to support them. Choosing the sequencing chemistry first clarifies what can realistically be measured per cell.

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-single-cell-splicing 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 6d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (examples/sc_splicing_brie2.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 — 447 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Version Compatibility

Reference examples tested with: MARVEL 2.0+, BRIE2 0.2.4+, scQuint 0.1+, SpliZ 0.0.1+, Sierra 1.0+, Psix 0.1+, anndata 0.10+, scanpy 1.10+, pandas 2.2+, scipy 1.13+

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

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

Single-Cell Splicing Analysis

The fundamental decision is chemistry, not tool. Most droplet 3' scRNA-seq cannot support transcriptome-wide splicing inference because reverse transcription primes from the poly(A) tail and most reads land in the 3' UTR — far from CDS-region splicing events. Plate-based full-length methods and single-cell long-read sequencing are the chemistries that give per-cell isoform structure across the gene body.

The 10X 3' Problem (Quantified)

Three compounding mechanisms make 10X Chromium 3' (v3.1, GEM-X, v4) hostile to splicing:

  1. 3' enrichment: median fragment <1 kb from poly(A); >70% of unique reads fall within 3' UTR.
  2. Short R2 (~91 nt): each read straddles at most one junction; usually none, because R2 lands in 3' UTR.
  3. PCR concatemers and TSO artifacts: pollute junction detection; UMI collapse is gene-level, not isoform-level.

Quantitative estimate: Only a small fraction of cassette exons sit close enough to the polyA site to be sampled by 3' chemistry (empirical estimates from APA/3'-end atlases — see Tian & Manley 2017 Nat Rev Mol Cell Biol for the 3' UTR isoform landscape). Effective junction read yield from 10X 3' is <0.1 per cell per AS event — vs the 5-10 needed for stable per-cell PSI. Most splicing analyses on 10X 3' data report artifacts.

The 5' kit (10X 5' GEX) does not solve this — it shifts capture from 3' UTR to 5' UTR / TSS-proximal regions. Marginal improvement; not a transcriptome-wide solution. Note that V(D)J recovery requires the 10X Chromium Single Cell Immune Profiling kit (with TCR/BCR-specific enrichment), not 5' GEX alone — postdocs designing immune-repertoire experiments must use the dedicated V(D)J kit.

What ships with it

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.
