bio-crispr-screens-combinatorial-screens

bio-crispr-screens-combinatorial-screens is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from PKU-YuanGroup/OpenAI4S. It costs 252 tokens per session (4,651 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of bio-crispr-screens-combinatorial-screens, MIT.

A bioinformatics workflow for CRISPR screens that change two or more genes together. It measures whether a gene pair has a combined effect different from what the two separate changes would suggest.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design paired or multiplex CRISPR libraries, analyse double-knockout fitness, and identify synthetic-lethal or synthetic-rescue gene interactions.
Why use it?
It helps find genetic relationships that single-gene screens can miss, including pairs that make cells weaker or help them survive when changed together.

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-crispr-screens-combinatorial-screens 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 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/gi_scoring.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 — 273 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Version Compatibility

Reference examples tested with: MAGeCK 0.5.9+ (for MLE with interaction terms), Inzolia library annotation (Esmaeili Anvar 2024), pandas 2.2+, numpy 1.26+, scipy 1.12+, matplotlib 3.8+.

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

  • CLI: mageck --version; mageck mle --help
  • For Cas12a libraries: verify against published Inzolia / in4mer / Big Papi annotations

If code throws ImportError, AttributeError, or TypeError, introspect the installed package and adapt the example to match the actual API rather than retrying.

Combinatorial CRISPR Screen Analysis

"Run a combinatorial CRISPR screen to find synthetic-lethal interactions" -> Design a paired or multiplex library, screen for double-knockout fitness, score per-pair genetic interaction (GI = observed_double - expected_additive), and identify synthetic-lethal (negative GI) and synthetic-rescue (positive GI) interactions.

  • CLI: mageck mle with explicit interaction terms for paired-Cas9 (Big Papi-style)
  • Python: custom GI scoring for Cas12a multiplex (in4mer / Inzolia)
  • Modality: enCas12a / LbCas12a single-array multiplex (preferred for paralog screens)

Combinatorial Architecture Decision Tree

Goal Architecture Library Why
Paralog buffering, identify synthetic lethal paralog pairs enCas12a single-array 4-guide multiplex Inzolia (Esmaeili Anvar 2024) Cas9 single-KO misses paralog-buffered essentials (42% of constitutively expressed genes never score, Dede 2020)
Test specific pathway pair (e.g., DNA repair branches) Big Papi (orthologous SaCas9 + SpCas9; two sgRNAs from U6 and H1 in pPapi) Custom Mature methodology; orthologous enzymes avoid repeated-element recombination
Combinatorial 3-way / 4-way knockout in4mer (4-guide single Cas12a array) Custom (in4mer) Single transcript processed by Cas12a; multi-gene
Single-cell Perturb-seq with multi-pert per cell Combinatorial Perturb-seq + Cas9 multiplex Custom Single-cell readout of multi-perturbation effects
Drug-modifier + KO interaction Cas9 KO + drug treatment Standard libraries Drug as second "perturbation"

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.
