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.

1# Variant Analysis using AlphaGenome

3## Prerequisites
4
51. **`uv`**: Read the `uv` skill and follow its Setup instructions to ensure
6 `uv` is installed and on PATH.
72. **User Notification**: If
8 .licenses/alphagenome_single_variant_analysis_LICENSE.txt does not already
9 exist in the workspace root directory then (1) prominently notify the user
10 to check the terms at https://deepmind.google.com/science/alphagenome/, then
11 (2) create the file recording the notification text and timestamp.
123. **`.env` file**: Make sure the `.env` file exists in your home directory.
13 Create one if it does not exist.
144. **`ALPHAGENOME_API_KEY`**: This skill requires an API key to function.
15
16 You can register for a key at https://deepmind.google.com/science/alphagenome/.
17 You **MUST** use the safe credentials protocol in the `credentials` skill to
18 check for and request this key if this skill looks relevant to the user's request.
195. **`ALPHAGENOME_GTF_PATH` (Optional)**: Accelerate gene/transcript lookup by
20 pointing to a local copy of the GTF feather file instead of downloading from
21 GCS:
22
23 ```bash
24 echo "ALPHAGENOME_GTF_PATH=/path/to/local/gencode.v46.annotation.gtf.gz.feather" >> ~/.env
25 ```
26
27## Core Rules
28
29- **NEVER run `python3` or `python3 -c` directly.** The system Python does not
30 necessarily have pandas, numpy, and other key dependencies. ALWAYS use `uv
31 run` to run ALL Python code — including scripts, ad-hoc analysis files, and
32…
