bio-comparative-genomics-gene-tree-species-tree-reconciliation

bio-comparative-genomics-gene-tree-species-tree-reconciliation is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from PKU-YuanGroup/OpenAI4S. It costs 190 tokens per session (8,438 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of bio-comparative-genomics-gene-tree-species-tree-reconciliation, MIT.

A set of methods for comparing a gene family tree with a species tree to identify gene duplications, losses, and transfers. A gene tree shows how copies of a gene are related, while a species tree shows how the organisms are related.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to analyze gene-family history, locate duplication and loss events, detect possible transfers, and account for whole-genome duplications.
Why use it?
The two trees often disagree, and reconciling them helps explain the evolutionary events that caused the difference.

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-gene-tree-species-tree-reconciliation 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/ale_dtl_reconciliation.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.

Version Compatibility

Open Tree of Life and NCBI Taxonomy reference databases at 2024-Q3 minimum for species-tree-aware inference.

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

  • CLI: ALEml_undated --help, ALEml --help (dated), generax --help, alerax --help
  • Julia: using Whale; Whale.WhaleProblem; ]status for package versions
  • Python: pip show ete4; ete4 --help

If code throws species tree mismatch, gene tree taxa not in species tree, or MPI process pool failure, these reconciliation tools share strict label-consistency requirements: species labels must match exactly across the species tree and gene trees (case-sensitive, no whitespace), and gene IDs typically encode species via prefix (species|gene_id separator convention). Use sed / awk normalization scripts before reconciliation.

Gene Tree Species Tree Reconciliation

"Where did this gene family come from, and what events shaped its history?" -> Reconcile gene trees against species trees under explicit probabilistic models of duplication (D), horizontal transfer (T), and loss (L). The reconciliation framework converts gene-tree-species-tree discordance into a quantitative history of evolutionary events. Modern probabilistic methods (ALE, GeneRax, AleRax) distinguish gene-tree-error-driven discordance from biological discordance by integrating over gene-tree uncertainty -- a critical advance over parsimony reconciliation (NOTUNG, RANGER) which treats input gene trees as fixed and inflates duplication/loss counts from gene-tree noise (Boussau 2013 Genome Res 23:323; Morel 2020 MBE 37:2763).

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.
