About this resource
bioSkills is a collection of 562 Skill files that guide supported coding agents through bioinformatics tasks including sequence work, variant analysis, single-cell data, genomics, proteomics, statistics, and visualisation.
This page groups representative academic components by task; review the repository for the complete inventory.
Genomic variant and causal analysis
Includes Skills for variant annotation, prioritisation, fine mapping, association, Mendelian randomisation, and related genomic methods.
- Typical inputs
- Compatible variant or summary-statistic data; Reference build, phenotype definitions, and method assumptions
- Output
- Component-dependent code, tables, figures, or variant-analysis reports.
Best for: Research projects with defined genomic inputs and a reviewed analysis plan.
Skills for this task
Single-cell and transcriptomic analysis
Provides Skills for single-cell data input, quality control, clustering, annotation, integration, and RNA analysis.
- Typical inputs
- Expression matrix, cell metadata, and analysis objective
- Output
- Component-dependent analysis code, processed objects, tables, and figures.
Best for: Planning or implementing a defined single-cell or transcriptomics workflow.
Skills for this task
Bioinformatics visualisation and reporting
Contains Skills for genome tracks, enrichment plots, phylogenetic trees, protein maps, and other research visualisations.
- Typical inputs
- Processed data, plot objective, labels, and output requirements
- Output
- Visualisation code and a component-dependent scientific figure.
Best for: Turning checked bioinformatics results into an interpretable figure.
Skills for this task
Use boundaries
Limits and checks
Large dependency surface
Installing everything can create conflicts or an unnecessarily broad environment.
Use the category or project installer and isolate the environment.
Biological versioning
Code may run while producing results that are not comparable with the intended study.
Record and check all data, reference, and tool versions.
Sensitive biological data
Agent tools or external resources may expose sensitive data.
Use approved environments and inspect each Skill for network or API use.
More boundaries
- Do not install or invoke the whole collection when the project only needs a small set of bioinformatics categories.
- A Skill cannot run an analysis without compatible data, reference versions, packages, command-line tools, and enough compute.
- Generated code and figures do not establish that a statistical or biological interpretation is valid.
