bio-genome-intervals-coverage-analysis

bio-genome-intervals-coverage-analysis is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from thesecondfox/skill. It costs 57 tokens per session (2,295 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A toolkit for measuring how deeply sequencing reads cover genomic regions. It works with BAM files, which store reads aligned to a reference genome.

In plain words
What is it for?
Calculate per-base and per-region coverage, create bedGraph coverage tracks, summarize depth, and evaluate target-capture efficiency.
Why use it?
It replaces manual depth calculations and helps show whether sequencing data sufficiently covers the genome or selected targets.

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-genome-intervals-coverage-analysis 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 yesterday.

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.

Runs shell commandslowCapability

Expected in a hook, worth knowing in a rule or an instructions file.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 300 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Version Compatibility

Reference examples tested with: bedtools 2.31+, numpy 1.26+, pandas 2.2+, samtools 1.19+

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

  • Python: pip show <package> then help(module.function) to check signatures
  • CLI: <tool> --version then <tool> --help to confirm flags

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

Coverage Analysis

"Calculate sequencing coverage" → Compute per-base or per-region depth from BAM files to assess sequencing adequacy.

  • CLI: bedtools genomecov -ibam input.bam, samtools depth input.bam
  • Python: pybedtools.BedTool('input.bam').genome_coverage() (pybedtools)

Calculate coverage and depth across genomic regions using bedtools and pybedtools.

genomecov - Genome-wide Coverage

Per-base Coverage (bedGraph)

# Generate bedGraph from BAM (per-base depth)
bedtools genomecov -ibam alignments.bam -bg > coverage.bedGraph

# Include zero-coverage regions
bedtools genomecov -ibam alignments.bam -bga > coverage_with_zeros.bedGraph

# Split by strand
bedtools genomecov -ibam alignments.bam -bg -strand + > plus_strand.bedGraph
bedtools genomecov -ibam alignments.bam -bg -strand - > minus_strand.bedGraph

# Scale by total reads (RPM normalization)
TOTAL=$(samtools view -c alignments.bam)
SCALE=$(echo "scale=10; 1000000/$TOTAL" | bc)
bedtools genomecov -ibam alignments.bam -bg -scale $SCALE > normalized.bedGraph

# Use only 5' end of reads
bedtools genomecov -ibam alignments.bam -bg -5 > five_prime.bedGraph

# Use only 3' end of reads
bedtools genomecov -ibam alignments.bam -bg -3 > three_prime.bedGraph

Coverage Histogram

# Genome-wide coverage histogram
bedtools genomecov -ibam alignments.bam > coverage_hist.txt

# Output format: chr, depth, bases_at_depth, chr_size, fraction

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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-genome-intervals-coverage-analysis is a skill published in the GitHub repository thesecondfox/skill (3 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 57 tokens to every session and 2,295 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (runs shell commands). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
