bio-clinical-databases-myvariant-queries

bio-clinical-databases-myvariant-queries is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from PKU-YuanGroup/OpenAI4S. It costs 86 tokens per session (4,982 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of bio-clinical-databases-myvariant-queries, MIT.

A Python workflow for querying myvariant.info, a service that combines annotations from genetic databases such as ClinVar, gnomAD, dbSNP, COSMIC, CADD, and CIViC.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to annotate lists of genetic variants, select specific fields, parse the returned data, and record the source-database versions.
Why use it?
It lets you retrieve annotations from several sources through one batched interface instead of maintaining separate database connections and request formats.

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-clinical-databases-myvariant-queries 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 8d ago.

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

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 326 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Version Compatibility

Reference examples tested with: myvariant 1.0.0+, requests 2.31+, pandas 2.2+. myvariant.info aggregates >=21 sources; the operative version of each source is queryable via the _meta field and the /v1/metadata endpoint.

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

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

If code throws ImportError, AttributeError, or TypeError, introspect the installed package and adapt the example to match the actual API rather than retrying. dbNSFP version drift is the dominant staleness vector: AlphaMissense was added to dbNSFP v4.4 (~2024); querying dbnsfp.alphamissense.score returns whatever version of dbNSFP is currently loaded; check _meta.src.dbnsfp.version.

MyVariant.info Queries; Aggregated Annotation

'Annotate my variants with ClinVar + gnomAD + CADD + AlphaMissense in one batch' -> Query the BioThings myvariant.info aggregator with field selection and version tracking, then parse nested responses.

  • Python: myvariant.MyVariantInfo().getvariant(hgvs_or_rsid, fields=['clinvar', 'gnomad_exome', 'dbnsfp'])
  • Python (batch): mv.getvariants(ids_list, fields=...); up to 1000 IDs per request
  • Python (search): mv.query('clinvar.gene.symbol:BRCA1 AND clinvar.clinical_significance:Pathogenic')
  • REST: GET https://myvariant.info/v1/variant/{hgvs_or_id}?fields=...
  • Bulk: POST https://myvariant.info/v1/variant with comma-separated IDs

BioThings Architecture (Lelong 2022 Bioinformatics)

myvariant.info is one of three flagship BioThings APIs (with MyGene.info and MyChem.info). All three share the BioThings SDK, which auto-deploys an Elasticsearch index from heterogeneous source files via per-source dataloaders. The 2022 paper formalized the SDK; the architecture itself is older (Xin 2016 Genome Biol).

  • Elasticsearch-backed: queries use Lucene operators (AND, OR, NOT, range like dbnsfp.cadd.phred:>20)
  • Dotted-field-name syntax for nested JSON
  • The _id field is canonical HGVS-g per record (e.g., chr7:g.117199644G>A)

Changes

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.
