interpreting-biological-results

interpreting-biological-results is a skill for Claude Code from MannLabs/proteomics-agent-skills. It costs 75 tokens per session (1,792 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide for interpreting results from omics analyses, which study large sets of genes or proteins. It covers finding biological pathways and functions in significant lists, ranked results, clusters, or individual genes and proteins.

In plain words
What is it for?
Running or interpreting overrepresentation analysis, gene set enrichment analysis, and searches in resources such as STRING and UniProt.
Why use it?
It helps translate long statistical result lists into biological meaning instead of treating each gene or protein in isolation. It also helps choose a suitable analysis for the kind of results available.

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

interpreting-biological-results 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 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.

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.

Interpreting biological results from omics analyses

This skill applies when an upstream analysis (differential expression, clustering, PCA, etc.) has generated:

  • A list of significant features (a "hit list") OR
  • A ranked or scored list of all features (e.g., by log2 fold-change or test statistic) OR
  • Clusters or modules of co-expressed/co-regulated features OR
  • A specific gene or small set of features they want to understand functionally

Features might be protein names or gene names encoding the observed proteins.

The goal of this analysis is to leverage biological knowledge databases in connection with appropriate statistical methods to find higher-order associations between individual proteins.

Context and Definitions

Method Selection

Choose the appropriate methods based on which information is available

| Input | Example | Recommended primary methods |

| A Set of Features | e.g., a list of significantly differentially expressed proteins below an FDR cutoff | Overrepresentation Analysis, STRING DB search | | A ranked list of features | e.g. genes ranked by their logfoldchanges or t-statistic | Gene Set Enrichment Analysis, GSVAMultiple | | gene lists | e.g., differentially expressed proteins per cluster or cohort | Overrepresentation Analysis per cluster | | Single gene of interest | e.g. a protein that is unknown to the analyst | UniProt, STRING (single query), literature search on PubMed |

Handling Protein Groups

Proteomics search engines often report protein groups (e.g., P12345;Q67890) when peptides map to multiple proteins. Before enrichment analysis:

| Strategy | When to use | Implementation |

| Take first | Default for most analyses; assumes first entry is the most confident identification | Split on ; and keep first ID | | Explode | When it is important to identify all putatively involved gene sets with high sensitivity | Duplicate row for each protein in group | | Drop ambiguous | When high confidence is critical | Remove rows with multiple proteins |

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.

interpreting-biological-results is a skill published in the GitHub repository MannLabs/proteomics-agent-skills (14 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 75 tokens to every session and 1,792 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
