alphagenome-single-variant-analysis
Agent skill fromgoogle-deepmind/science-skills
Analyzes genetic variant effects on gene expression (RNA-seq), chromatin accessibility (DNASE), histone marks (ChIP), and transcription factors using the AlphaGenome API. Use when the user asks about non-coding variant effects, pathogenicity, clinical significance, disease associations, functional effects, gene expression changes, splicing disruption, or regulatory effects in promoters and enhancers. Also use for resolving biological terms to tissue/cell-type ontologies (UBERON/CL) or analyzing variants in chr:pos:ref>alt format.
