bio-atac-seq-motif-deviation

bio-atac-seq-motif-deviation is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from PKU-YuanGroup/OpenAI4S. It costs 70 tokens per session (5,155 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of bio-atac-seq-motif-deviation, MIT.

A method for finding transcription-factor binding motifs whose DNA accessibility varies across samples or individual cells. It uses chromVAR, a biology tool that compares observed accessibility with matched background regions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to calculate motif deviation scores, rank motifs by variability, and compare results with ArchR or Signac workflows. It applies to bulk sample and single-cell chromatin-accessibility data.
Why use it?
It helps separate meaningful motif differences from variation caused by GC content or overall accessibility. This makes it easier to identify which transcription factors may explain differences between conditions or cells.

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-motif-deviation 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 341 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Version Compatibility

Reference examples tested with: chromVAR 1.24+, motifmatchr 1.24+, JASPAR2024 0.99+, TFBSTools 1.40+, BSgenome.Hsapiens.UCSC.hg38 1.4+, SummarizedExperiment 1.32+, limma 3.58+, ggplot2 3.5+, Matrix 1.6+, ArchR 1.0.2+, Signac 1.13+.

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

  • R: packageVersion('<pkg>') then ?function_name to verify parameters

If code throws unexpected errors, introspect the installed package and adapt rather than retrying.

Motif Deviation (chromVAR)

"Which TF motifs explain accessibility variation across my samples or cells?" -> Compute per-sample (or per-cell) deviation z-scores: how many standard deviations above expectation each TF motif's accessibility falls, controlling for GC content and overall accessibility via matched background peak sets.

  • R: chromVAR::computeDeviations(counts, motifs) -> per-sample z-scores
  • R: chromVAR::computeVariability(dev) -> per-motif variance ranking
  • Single-cell alternative: Signac::RunChromVAR() (wrapper with matched defaults) or ArchR::addDeviationsMatrix()

chromVAR answers a different question than footprinting: footprinting asks "is this specific motif site bound?", chromVAR asks "do peaks containing this motif have systematically more or less accessibility than expected?" The two are complementary.

What chromVAR Computes

For each (motif, sample) pair:

  • Raw deviation = Sum of accessibility at peaks containing the motif - expected from a matched-GC, matched-accessibility background.
  • Bias-corrected deviation = Raw deviation / SD of background deviations.
  • Z-score = (corrected deviation - mean across cells) / SD across cells. Reported as the principal output.

Z-scores are signed: positive = motif more accessible in this sample than population average; negative = less. Magnitudes 2-5 are typical for biologically interesting motifs; >5 indicates strong covariation with sample state.
