depmap

depmap is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Lord1Egypt/scientific-agent-toolkit. It costs 52 tokens per session (2,701 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of depmap, MIT.

A cancer research data helper based on the Cancer Dependency Map, a project that tests which genes cancer cells need to survive and how cancer cells respond to drugs. It provides gene-dependency, drug-sensitivity, and gene-effect information across cancer cell lines.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to test whether a gene is essential in a cancer type, find vulnerabilities linked to mutations, investigate synthetic lethality, discover biomarkers, and examine drug sensitivity.
Why use it?
It helps researchers compare genetic weaknesses and drug responses across cancer types without assembling these results manually. This can support early checks of possible cancer drug targets.

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 8d 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:

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

Key thresholds:

  • Chronos ≤ −0.5: likely dependent
  • Chronos ≤ −1: strongly dependent (common essential range)

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 Lord1Egypt/scientific-agent-toolkit (2 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 52 tokens to every session and 2,701 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). It is 94% identical to depmap, differing in 3 lines, and is treated as a copy.
