depmap

depmap is a skill for Claude Code from K-Dense-AI/drug-discovery-agent-skills. It costs 128 tokens per session (3,354 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A dataset and analysis guide for DepMap, a Broad Institute project that tests which genes and compounds affect the survival of cancer cell lines.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to study CRISPR and RNA-interference gene dependencies, PRISM drug sensitivity, cancer-selective targets, and possible synthetic-lethal relationships.
Why use it?
It helps separate genes needed by nearly all cells from vulnerabilities that are selective for particular cancers or mutations.

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

depmap 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 12d 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.

DepMap — Cancer Dependency Map

Overview

The Cancer Dependency Map (DepMap) project, run by the Broad Institute, systematically characterizes genetic dependencies across hundreds of cancer cell lines using genome-wide CRISPR knockout screens (DepMap CRISPR), RNA interference (RNAi), and compound sensitivity assays (PRISM). DepMap data is essential for:

  • Identifying which genes are essential for specific cancer types
  • Finding cancer-selective dependencies (therapeutic targets)
  • Validating oncology drug targets
  • Discovering synthetic lethal interactions

Key resources:

There is no DepMap Python package. The PyPI project named depmap is "Dependency Mapper CLI", an unrelated software-dependency tool — installing it will not get you cell-line data. Read the release CSVs with pandas.

When to Use This Skill

Use DepMap when:

  • Target validation: Is a gene essential for survival in cancer cell lines with a specific mutation (e.g., KRAS-mutant)?
  • Biomarker discovery: What genomic features predict sensitivity to knockout of a gene?
  • Synthetic lethality: Find genes that are selectively essential when another gene is mutated/deleted
  • Drug sensitivity: What cell line features predict response to a compound?
  • Pan-cancer essentiality: Is a gene broadly essential across all cancer types (bad target) or selectively essential?
  • Correlation analysis: Which pairs of genes have correlated dependency profiles (co-essentiality)?

Core Concepts

Dependency Scores

Score Range Meaning
Chronos (CRISPR) ~ -3 to 0+ More negative = more essential. Common essential threshold: −1. Pan-essential genes ~−1 to −2
RNAi DEMETER2 ~ -3 to 0+ Similar scale to Chronos
Gene Effect normalized Normalized Chronos; −1 = median effect of common essential genes

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.

depmap is a skill published in the GitHub repository K-Dense-AI/drug-discovery-agent-skills (28 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 128 tokens to every session and 3,354 once invoked, about $0.0006 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.
