Read, write, and analyze genomic datasets including SAM/BAM/CRAM alignments, VCF/BCF variants, and FASTA/FASTQ sequences using a Pythonic interface to htslib.

Manage, annotate, and trace biological data with LaminDB, an open-source FAIR data framework that makes datasets queryable, versioned, and reproducible. Use when registering or querying biological datasets (scRNA-seq, spatial, flow cytometry), validating and curating data against ontologies (genes, cell types, diseases, tissues), tracking data lineage and computational workflows, building data lakehouses, or wiring integrations with Nextflow, Snakemake, W&B, or MLflow. Part of the AlterLab Academic Skills suite.

Query 20+ bioinformatics databases from the command line or Python for gene information, sequences, protein structures, enrichment analysis, and more.

Genomic file toolkit. Read/write SAM/BAM/CRAM alignments, VCF/BCF variants, FASTA/FASTQ sequences, extract regions, calculate coverage, for NGS data processing pipelines.

Read, write, and manipulate genomic datasets including SAM/BAM/CRAM alignments, VCF/BCF variants, and FASTA/FASTQ sequences using a Pythonic interface to htslib.

Use when aligning short reads to a reference genome or indexed sequence database. Suitable for mapping FASTQ/FASTA reads in paired-end or single-end mode to produce SAM output.

Query the Cancer Dependency Map (DepMap) for cancer cell line gene dependency scores (CRISPR Chronos), drug sensitivity data, and gene effect profiles. Use when identifying cancer-specific genetic vulnerabilities, finding synthetic lethal interactions, checking whether a gene is essential in given cell lines, or validating oncology drug targets. Part of the AlterLab Academic Skills suite.

Use when searching NCBI Entrez databases (pubmed, gene, protein, nuccore, snp, geoprofiles) with query strings and field qualifiers to retrieve record UIDs for downstream processing.

Query ChEMBL via the chembl_webresource_client Python client for curated bioactive molecules and drug-like compound libraries at scale — search compounds by structure or physicochemical properties, retrieve bioactivity measurements (IC50, Ki, EC50), and find inhibitors of a target. Use when screening chemical libraries, mining curated bioactivity for a protein, running SAR studies, or sourcing medicinal-chemistry data; for measured protein-ligand binding affinities (Ki/Kd/IC50) prefer alterlab-bindingdb instead. Part of the AlterLab Academic Skills suite.

Look up NHS England genomic tests for rare and inherited diseases. Use this skill whenever a clinician asks what genetic test to order for a condition, which genes are covered for a specific diagnosis, what commissioning category a genomic test falls under (Core, Specialised, or Highly Specialised), or which tests belong to a specialty group (Neurology, Cardiology, Endocrinology, etc.). Also trigger for questions like what panel is used for a condition, whether there is an NHS test for something, what the R number is for a condition, or whether anything has changed in the genomic test directory.

Read and write genomic alignment and variant files in Python with pysam (htslib bindings) — SAM/BAM/CRAM alignments, VCF/BCF variants, and FASTA/FASTQ sequences, plus region extraction and per-base coverage/pileup. Use when scripting NGS data-processing pipelines that parse, filter, index, or compute coverage over BAM/CRAM/VCF files. Part of the AlterLab Academic Skills suite.

NGS analysis toolkit. BAM to bigWig conversion, QC (correlation, PCA, fingerprints), heatmaps/profiles (TSS, peaks), for ChIP-seq, RNA-seq, ATAC-seq visualization.

Genomic file toolkit. Read/write SAM/BAM/CRAM alignments, VCF/BCF variants, FASTA/FASTQ sequences, extract regions, calculate coverage, for NGS data processing pipelines.

Runs high-performance genomic interval analysis with gtars (databio), a Rust toolkit with Python bindings — the performance-critical backend for the geniml ML library. Use when computing overlaps/jaccard/coverage between BED region sets, indexing intervals with IGD, generating uniwig accumulation/coverage tracks, tokenizing genomic regions for ML, splitting single-cell fragments into pseudobulks, or computing GA4GH refget sequence digests. NOT for training region embeddings (use alterlab-geniml) or non-genomic spatial joins (use alterlab-geopandas). Part of the AlterLab Academic Skills suite.

Constraint-based metabolic modeling (COBRA). FBA, FVA, gene knockouts, flux sampling, SBML models, for systems biology and metabolic engineering analysis.

Build and analyze phylogenetic trees using MAFFT, IQ-TREE 2, and FastTree, with visualization via ETE3 or FigTree for evolutionary analysis, microbial genomics, viral phylodynamics, and molecular clock studies.

Query the Cancer Dependency Map (DepMap) for cancer cell line gene dependency scores, drug sensitivity data, and gene effect profiles to identify cancer-specific vulnerabilities, synthetic lethal interactions, and validate oncology drug targets.
