bio-comparative-genomics-comparative-annotation-projection

bio-comparative-genomics-comparative-annotation-projection is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from PKU-YuanGroup/OpenAI4S. It costs 196 tokens per session (6,790 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of bio-comparative-genomics-comparative-annotation-projection, MIT.

A set of methods for transferring gene annotations from a well-studied reference genome to another genome. An annotation describes where genes and their parts, such as exons, are located.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to project gene locations and structures between related genomes, classify whether transferred genes remain intact, and prepare annotations for comparative analysis.
Why use it?
It reduces the need to identify every gene from scratch when related genomes already have usable annotations.

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-comparative-genomics-comparative-annotation-projection 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 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/toga_annotation_projection.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 — 432 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Version Compatibility

Reference examples tested with: TOGA 1.1.7+ (hillerlab/TOGA; Kirilenko 2023 Science 380:eabn3107), CESAR 2.0 (Sharma, Schwede & Hiller 2017 Bioinformatics 33:3985), LiftOff 1.6.3+ (Shumate & Salzberg 2021 Bioinformatics 37(12):1639-1643), Comparative Annotation Toolkit (CAT) 2.4+, GeMoMa 1.9+ (Keilwagen 2019 Methods Mol Biol 1962:161), UCSC liftOver 2024+, Cactus 2.9.1+ (for HAL input), HAL toolkit 2.3+, NextFlow 24+ for TOGA pipeline, BUSCO 5.7+ / Compleasm 0.2.7+ for QC, Luigi + Toil for CAT, R 4.4+. The current TOGA expects HAL from Cactus 2.5+; older HAL formats may fail.

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

  • CLI: toga.py --help; cesar --help; liftoff --version
  • Python: pip show liftoff
  • Java: gemoma --help (Java 11+)

If code throws TOGA chain file missing, CESAR fragment not found, LiftOff annotation not parsed, the toolchain expects specific input formats: TOGA needs HAL or chain/net files from Cactus / LASTZ; CESAR needs exon-level GFF; LiftOff needs reference GFF and aligned FASTA. Pre-process with the appropriate format conversion.

Comparative Annotation Projection

"Annotate this new genome using my well-annotated reference" -> Annotation projection from a reference is the modern alternative to de novo gene prediction; it produces high-quality, comparable annotations across genomes by leveraging evolutionary conservation. The 2023-era standard is TOGA + CESAR 2.0 (Kirilenko 2023 Science 380:eabn3107), which uses whole-genome alignment chains + ML classification + codon-aware exon projection to scale to hundreds of genomes (Zoonomia: 488 mammals; Bird10000 Genomes: 501 birds). For ortholog-based projection (no WGA needed), LiftOff (Shumate & Salzberg 2021 Bioinformatics 37(12):1639) is the standard. The critical decision is WGA-anchored (TOGA) vs ortholog-anchored (LiftOff): TOGA explicitly classifies gene intactness vs loss using the alignment chains, LiftOff relies on reciprocal-best-hit equivalents.

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.

bio-comparative-genomics-comparative-annotation-projection is a skill published in the GitHub repository PKU-YuanGroup/OpenAI4S (407 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 196 tokens to every session and 6,790 once invoked, about $0.0010 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). It is 95% identical to bio-comparative-genomics-comparative-annotation-projection, differing in 12 lines, and is treated as a copy.
