bio-splice-variant-prediction

bio-splice-variant-prediction is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from PKU-YuanGroup/OpenAI4S. It costs 228 tokens per session (6,882 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of bio-splice-variant-prediction, MIT.

A guide to predicting whether a DNA change alters mRNA splicing, the process that selects and joins gene segments to make mature RNA.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to score variants with SpliceAI, Pangolin, MMSplice, SpliceTransformer, TrASPr, or SpliceVault and examine their possible effects on RNA processing.
Why use it?
A variant may disrupt splicing without being harmful for every other reason, so general disease-risk predictions do not answer this specific question. These tools estimate changes in splice-site use, sometimes for particular tissues.

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-splice-variant-prediction 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/spliceai_clingen_classify.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.

Origin

This is a copy

97% identical to bio-splice-variant-prediction — 14 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 457 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Version Compatibility

Reference examples tested with: SpliceAI 1.3+, Pangolin 1.0+, MMSplice 2.4+, pyensembl 2.3+, pysam 0.22+, pandas 2.2+, gffutils 0.13+, tensorflow 2.15+

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

  • Python: pip show <package> then help(module.function) to check signatures
  • 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.

Splice Variant Prediction

Predict whether a DNA variant alters mRNA splicing. Distinct from "variant pathogenicity" generally: a variant can be a strong splice disruptor without being pathogenic for the gene's standard mechanism, or pathogenic for reasons orthogonal to splicing. Splice prediction asks specifically: does this variant change splice-site usage?

Predictor Taxonomy

Family Architecture Output Fails when
Context-aware CNN 10 kb dilated ResNet Per-position donor/acceptor probability Long-range (>5 kb) regulatory effects; tissue-specific events
Tissue-aware CNN/transformer Same arch + multi-tissue training Per-tissue ΔPSI Tissue not in training set; novel cell types
Modular per-region CNN Separate sub-models for 5'ss/3'ss/exon/intron Calibrated quantitative ΔPSI Atypical events; complex multi-junction effects
Foundation transformer Pretrained on broad genomic context Splice probability or ΔPSI New tools; less battle-tested
Empirical lookup Public RNA-seq event database Top-N most likely mis-splicing outcomes Variant types not represented in training cohorts
Composite score Blend of multiple predictors Single scaled score When component predictors disagree internally

Tool Selection Matrix

Tool Best for Output When to use Fails when
SpliceAI Clinical screening; canonical splice site disruption Delta score 0-1 Default for ACMG variant classification Tissue-specific events; deep-intronic with default 50nt window
Pangolin Tissue-aware predictions Per-tissue ΔPSI When disease tissue is known (brain, heart, liver, testis) Tissue not in 4-tissue training set
MMSplice Quantitative ΔPSI Δlogit_psi Research where calibrated effect-size matters Atypical events outside cassette-exon model
SpliceTransformer 2024+ benchmark improvements Tissue-specific ΔPSI When transformer foundation models outperform CNN on benchmark variant sets New (2024); limited clinical adoption
TrASPr Multi-transformer, 2024-2025 Tissue-specific PSI/ΔPSI Strong on tissue-specific test sets New; verify before clinical use
SpliceVault Empirical mis-splicing outcome Top-N events at the affected splice site Predicting consequence (skip vs cryptic) of canonical-disrupting variants Variants not represented in 300K-RNA training
CADD-Splice Single composite score Scaled C-score Clinical pipelines wanting one number When knowing which sub-component drove the score is needed

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.
