epigenomics

epigenomics is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from zamushwani/biomedical-ai-skills. It costs 0 tokens per session (4,108 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for studying chromatin, the material that packages DNA, using ATAC-seq and ChIP-seq sequencing data. It identifies accessible DNA regions or protein-binding regions and relates them to genes and transcription factors.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to call peaks, measure differential accessibility or binding, find enriched DNA motifs, estimate transcription-factor activity, link peaks to genes, combine chromatin data with expression, and check quality metrics.
Why use it?
It catches analysis choices that can change results, such as filtering, peak-calling settings, sample definitions, and genome annotations. It also avoids assuming that a nearby gene is necessarily regulated by a peak.

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

epigenomics 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 11d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (tests/run_all.py, tests/validate_claims.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 — 351 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Epigenomics

ATAC-seq and ChIP-seq analysis for chromatin accessibility and transcription factor binding. Covers the filtering that precedes peak calling, ATAC-specific peak calling, differential binding and the DiffBind 3.x changes that silently alter results, motif enrichment, TF activity from accessibility, and assigning peaks to genes without pretending distance is regulation.

When to Use This Skill

Activate when the user requests:

  • ATAC-seq or ChIP-seq peak calling, or MACS
  • Differential accessibility or differential binding
  • Motif enrichment, TF footprinting, or chromVAR
  • Assigning peaks to genes, or enhancer-promoter linking
  • Integrating accessibility or binding with expression
  • Chromatin QC: FRiP, TSS enrichment, fragment size distribution

Inputs

Data Type Form Note
Aligned reads BAM, duplicates marked ATAC needs chrM and blacklist removal first
Peaks narrowPeak / broadPeak narrow for TF and ATAC, broad for most histone marks
Sample sheet CSV with condition, replicate, bamReads, peaks DiffBind's entry point
Genome annotation TxDb or GTF for TSS enrichment and peak annotation
Motif database JASPAR version changes the answer

Environment

Versions verified 2026-08.

pip install MACS3          # 3.0.4  peak calling
pip install deeptools      # 3.5.6  coverage, matrices, QC plots

                       "chromVAR",     # 1.34.1  TF activity from accessibility
                       "ChIPseeker",   # 1.48.0  peak annotation

                       "rGREAT"))      # 2.14.0  regulatory region enrichment
Use MACS3 (3.0.4, released 2026-02), not MACS2. MACS2's last release was
2023-07 and development moved to MACS3, which is actively maintained. Most
tutorials still say macs2; the command is macs3 and the options differ in
places.

JASPAR2024 is the latest Bioconductor release; JASPAR2026 does not exist.
Record which JASPAR version you used, because motif matrices are revised
between releases and enrichment results move with them.

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.

epigenomics is a skill published in the GitHub repository zamushwani/biomedical-ai-skills (1 stars, last pushed 12d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 4,108 tokens. 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 2026-08-31.
