bio-copy-number-subclonal-copy-number

bio-copy-number-subclonal-copy-number is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from GPTomics/bioSkills. It costs 144 tokens per session (3,473 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for estimating chromosome copy numbers in mixed tumor samples from bulk DNA sequencing. It separates changes shared by all tumor cells from those found only in subclones and can assess whole-genome doubling and tumor evolution.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to analyze allele-specific copy-number data with Battenberg, TITAN, or MEDICC2, estimate cancer cell fractions, detect whole-genome doubling, and study copy-number evolution.
Why use it?
Bulk sequencing averages signals from different cell populations, so copy numbers may look fractional or ambiguous. This helps explain whether those values reflect real subclones and reconstruct the tumor's changing structure.

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-subclonal-copy-number 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 — 212 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 Battenberg 2.2.10+ and TitanCNA 1.40+, MEDICC2 1.0+, Python 3.10+; impute2/Beagle phasing reference panels.

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

  • R: packageVersion('Battenberg') / 'TitanCNA') then ?function
  • CLI: medicc2 --help
  • Battenberg is GitHub-only (Wedge-lab/battenberg) and needs a 1000 Genomes impute/phasing reference and allele-counter; confirm reference data is installed

Battenberg and TITAN both consume allele-specific data (logR + BAF at heterozygous SNPs); they cannot run on relative copy ratio alone.

Subclonal Copy Number and Tumor Evolution

"This copy number is non-integer — is it noise, or are there subclones" -> A tumor is a mixture of cell populations. When a copy-number change is present in only some cancer cells, bulk sequencing averages it into a non-integer state. A long non-integer segment is not noise — it is a subclonal copy-number alteration, and resolving it reveals the tumor's clonal architecture.

  • R: Battenberg (phased clonal + subclonal CN), TitanCNA (HMM mixture of cell populations)
  • CLI: medicc2 (whole-genome-doubling-aware copy-number phylogenies)
  • Input: allele-specific data — see allele-specific-copy-number for the clonal layer

Clonal vs Subclonal — What the Tools Output

Concept Meaning
Clonal CNA Present in all cancer cells; one copy-number state per segment
Subclonal CNA Present in a fraction of cancer cells; the segment needs two states plus a fraction
Cancer cell fraction (CCF) Fraction of cancer cells carrying the event
Mirrored subclonal allelic imbalance Different subclones lose opposite haplotypes of the same region

Battenberg fits a clonal allele-specific profile (ASCAT internally), then where a segment fits poorly as a single integer state, it models it as a mixture of two states with a subclonal fraction. TITAN uses an HMM whose states span multiple clonal clusters, jointly estimating per-cluster cellular prevalence. Both need haplotype phasing — subclonal allelic imbalance is only resolvable when SNPs are phased.

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.
