bio-crispr-screens-hit-calling

bio-crispr-screens-hit-calling is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from PKU-YuanGroup/OpenAI4S. It costs 176 tokens per session (5,176 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of bio-crispr-screens-hit-calling, MIT.

A decision guide for choosing statistical methods that identify meaningful hits in pooled CRISPR screens. A hit is a gene whose guide measurements change enough to suggest a real biological effect rather than random variation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Choose an analysis method for essentiality, drug, time-course, multi-condition, or dependency screens; compare results from MAGeCK, BAGEL2, drugZ, JACKS, Chronos, and CERES.
Why use it?
Different screen designs need different statistical models, so using the wrong method can produce misleading results. It compares methods, explains when they do not fit, and helps reconcile disagreements between them.

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-hit-calling 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/consensus_hits.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.

Origin

This is a copy

98% identical to bio-crispr-screens-hit-calling — 12 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 301 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+, BAGEL2 2.0, drugZ Aug 2019+, JACKS 0.2.0+, Chronos 2.0+ (DepMap), CERES 1.0+, pandas 2.2+, numpy 1.26+, scipy 1.12+, statsmodels 0.14+.

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

  • CLI: mageck --version, BAGEL.py version, python drugz.py --help
  • Python: pip show crispr_chronos (JACKS installs from GitHub, not PyPI)

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

Hit Calling Decision Tree

"Identify significant hits in my CRISPR screen" -> Choose the analysis method that matches the experimental design, statistical assumptions, and quality grade of the screen. Reconcile across methods when high-stakes hits must be validated.

The primary hit-calling methods cover non-overlapping niches; the decision is not "which is best" but "which matches the design."

Design / question Primary method Why Secondary check
Two-condition essentiality, one cell line, no CN concerns MAGeCK RRA Robust, fast, gold-standard for ranked analysis BAGEL2 (Bayes factor on same data)
Time course (3+ timepoints) MAGeCK MLE RRA cannot model multi-condition JACKS (efficacy-aware)
Multi-cell-line panel (cancer dependency) Chronos Models CN bias + screen quality jointly MAGeCK MLE per line + meta-analysis
Drug screen (vehicle vs drug) drugZ Bidirectional Z; vehicle-anchored MAGeCK MLE with dose covariate
Multi-screen joint, same library JACKS Shared efficacy; enables ~2.5x smaller screens MAGeCK MLE; results should converge
Essentiality classification with reference sets BAGEL2 Bayes factor with CEGv2/NEGv1 calibration MAGeCK RRA
Combinatorial / paired guide MAGeCK MLE with GI scoring Models interaction term; see [[combinatorial-screens]] Custom GI scoring
Single-cell perturbation (Perturb-seq) SCEPTRE NB GLM + permutation; see [[perturb-seq-analysis]] Mixscape pre-filter
Cancer-line copy-number screen Chronos (preferred) or CERES Joint CN-bias + gene-effect modeling; see [[copy-number-correction]] CRISPRcleanR pre-hoc + MAGeCK

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.
