bio-atac-seq-atac-peak-calling

bio-atac-seq-atac-peak-calling is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from PKU-YuanGroup/OpenAI4S. It costs 93 tokens per session (6,025 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of bio-atac-seq-atac-peak-calling, MIT.

A guide to finding open regions of DNA from ATAC-seq data, a sequencing method that shows which parts of chromatin are accessible. It works from aligned BAM files, which store sequencing reads mapped to a reference genome.

In plain words
What is it for?
Identify open chromatin, compare MACS3, MACS2, Genrich, and HMMRATAC, process replicate samples, apply IDR checks, and create consensus peak files.
Why use it?
It helps choose and configure tools for calling accessible regions, including different approaches for single samples and replicates. It also covers blacklist removal and making consistent peaks across samples.

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-atac-seq-atac-peak-calling 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 13d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/call_atac_peaks.sh), 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 329 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Version Compatibility

Reference examples tested with: MACS3 3.0.2+, MACS2 2.2.9+, Genrich 0.6.1+, HMMRATAC 1.2+ (now bundled in MACS3 as macs3 hmmratac), samtools 1.19+, bedtools 2.31+, IDR 2.0.4+.

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

  • CLI: <tool> --version then <tool> --help to confirm flags

If code throws unexpected errors, introspect the installed binary (<tool> -h) and adapt the example to match the actual CLI rather than retrying.

ATAC-seq Peak Calling

"Call accessible regions from my ATAC-seq BAM" -> Identify Tn5-hypersensitive open chromatin, treating fragments as point insertion events (not protein-bound regions as in ChIP-seq) and accounting for the lack of input control.

  • CLI (canonical, ENCODE 4): macs2 callpeak -t atac.bam -f BAM -g hs -n sample --nomodel --shift -75 --extsize 150 --keep-dup all -B --SPMR -p 0.01 (use -f BAM, not -f BAMPE -- BAMPE reads true fragment ends and ignores --shift/--extsize)
  • CLI (HMM-based, single sample): macs3 hmmratac -i atac.bam -n sample --outdir hmm_out
  • CLI (joint replicates): Genrich -j -t rep1.bam,rep2.bam -o peaks.narrowPeak -e chrM -E blacklist.bed

The -p 0.01 (loose) plus IDR is the ENCODE pattern: low stringency increases peak overlap between replicates, and IDR rescues the reproducible set. Single-sample workflows usually swap to -q 0.05 instead.

Algorithmic Taxonomy

Tool Model Treats fragments as Min reps Strength Fails when
MACS3/MACS2 Local Poisson lambda + FDR Point-source insertions (+/- shift) 1 Mature, ENCODE-default, fast, narrow + broad modes Confounds NFR with broad accessible domains; no input means lambda from local genome only
Genrich (ATAC mode -j) q-value on log-transformed p-value, joint replicate model Whole fragments (paired-end intervals) 1 (multi-rep optional) Treats reps jointly; can exclude chrM via -e chrM; auto blacklist via -E; PCR-dup removal via -r Less peer-reviewed than MACS; thin literature; slow on deep libraries
MACS3 hmmratac (was HMMRATAC) 3-state HMM (open / nucleosomal / background) on fragment-size signal Fragment-size classes 1 Models nucleosome periodicity directly; differentiates NFR and flanking nucleosomes Needs >= 30M de-duplicated nuclear reads; memory-hungry; slow; flat fragment distribution -> garbage HMM
HOMER findPeaks -style dnase Fixed window + fold-change cutoff Tag positions 1 Convenient for downstream HOMER motif analysis Less calibrated p-values than MACS; window-size sensitive
nf-core/atacseq Wrapper (MACS2 by default) Same as MACS2 1 Reproducible Nextflow pipeline with QC built in Only as good as the underlying caller

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.
