Symbolic math in Python: exact algebra, calculus (derivatives, integrals, limits), equation solving, symbolic matrices, ODEs, code gen (lambdify, C/Fortran). Use for exact symbolic results. For numerical use numpy/scipy; for stats use statsmodels.

Expert performance engineer specializing in modern observability,

Amplicon sequence variant (ASV) inference from 16S rRNA or ITS amplicon sequencing using DADA2. Covers quality filtering, error learning, denoising, and chimera removal. Use when processing demultiplexed amplicon FASTQ files to generate an ASV table for downstream analysis.

Deploy and manage projects on Vercel using token-based authentication. Use when working with Vercel CLI using access tokens rather than interactive login — e.g. "deploy to vercel", "set up vercel", "add environment variables to vercel".

This skill serves as Lily's personal computational biology PI, empowering Claude to make independent decisions on research project crossroads, covering aspects like topic, model architecture, and experimental design. It handles 80% of medium-level decisions, stress-tests ideas from a Nature reviewer perspective, and refines novelty narratives, reducing the need to consult Lily.

Generate consensus FASTA sequences by applying VCF variants to a reference using bcftools consensus. Use when creating sample-specific reference sequences or reconstructing haplotypes.

Expert deployment engineer specializing in modern CI/CD pipelines,

Assesses ChIP-seq quality across antibody specificity, fragmentation, enrichment, replicate concordance, and library complexity. Computes FRiP, NSC/RSC (phantompeakqualtools), library complexity (NRF/PBC1/PBC2), deepTools plotFingerprint (JS distance, AUC, synthetic JS), ChIPQC, IDR with ENCODE Nself/Nt rules, and detects hyper-ChIPable artifacts. Use when validating an antibody, diagnosing failed

Calls ChIP-seq peaks with MACS3, MACS2, HOMER, or SPP across narrow (TF) and broad (histone) modes. Handles input control matching, fragment-size modeling vs --nomodel, effective genome size, ENCODE-style IDR vs naive overlap, hyper-ChIPable artifacts, and aligner-specific shifts. Use when calling peaks from ChIP-seq alignments, choosing between narrow vs broad mode for a histone mark, deciding mo

Annotates ChIP-seq peaks to genomic features, nearest genes, ENCODE candidate cis-regulatory elements (cCREs), and regulatory domains. Uses ChIPseeker (R), HOMER annotatePeaks.pl (CLI), pyranges (Python), GREAT/rGREAT (regulatory domain gene-set enrichment), ChIP-Enrich (locus-length-adjusted), ENCODE SCREEN cCRE classification (PLS/pELS/dELS/CTCF-only/DNase-H3K4me3), and ENCODE-rE2G for cell-type

Performs gene-level association from GWAS summary statistics via genetically predicted tissue expression using FUSION, PrediXcan, S-PrediXcan, S-MultiXcan, UTMOST, MOSTWAS, kTWAS, EpiXcan, TIGAR-V2, and probabilistic fine-mapping with FOCUS and MA-FOCUS. Use when running TWAS from GWAS sumstats, prioritising candidate causal genes from a GWAS lead locus, picking single-tissue vs cross-tissue model

Runs cis-pQTL Mendelian randomization for drug-target validation using UKB-PPP (Olink), deCODE (SomaScan), Fenland, INTERVAL, ARIC, and FinnGen-PPP proteomes plus colocalization triangulation, phenome-wide on-target adverse-effect scans, cross-platform Olink/SomaScan replication, and PAV (protein-altering variant) sensitivity. Use when nominating or de-risking a drug target from plasma-proteome GW
