Multi-Omics Integration (MOFA+)

Multi-Omics Integration (MOFA+) is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from TianGzlab/OmicsClaw. It costs 9 tokens per session (3,143 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A method for finding hidden patterns that explain differences across at least two kinds of biological measurements, such as RNA activity and protein levels. MOFA+ combines these data into interpretable factors.

In plain words
What is it for?
Combining omics data from overlapping samples, identifying which data types drive each pattern, and producing factor scores for patient grouping or survival analysis.
Why use it?
It helps separate shared biological signals from signals specific to one measurement type, including when some samples are missing a data layer.

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

Multi-Omics Integration (MOFA+) 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 5d ago.

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.

Multi-Omics Integration (MOFA+)

Identify latent factors driving variation across 2+ omics layers using MOFA+ (Multi-Omics Factor Analysis). Decomposes multi-omics data into interpretable factors, each capturing shared or view-specific biological signal. Handles missing data across views natively.

When to Use This Skill

Use when you:

  • ✅ Have 2+ omics layers measured on overlapping samples (RNA-seq + proteomics, methylation + mutations, etc.)
  • ✅ Want to find shared sources of variation across omics (not just per-omics analysis)
  • ✅ Need to identify which omics layers contribute to each source of variation
  • ✅ Have incomplete data (not all samples measured in all views) — MOFA handles this
  • ✅ Want factor scores for downstream patient stratification or survival analysis

Don't use for:

  • ❌ Single omics data (use bulk-rnaseq-counts-to-de-deseq2 or bulk-omics-clustering)
  • ❌ Supervised prediction (use lasso-biomarker-panel instead)
  • ❌ Single-cell multi-modal (MOFA2 supports it, but consider scrna-trajectory-inference)
  • ❌ Fewer than 10 samples per view

Runtime: ~5-8 minutes total (CLL example). First run adds ~1-3 min for Python environment setup.

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.

Multi-Omics Integration (MOFA+) is a skill published in the GitHub repository TianGzlab/OmicsClaw (160 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 9 tokens to every session and 3,143 once invoked, about $0.0000 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
