bio-microbiome-amplicon-processing

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.

From the SKILL.md

## Version Compatibility Reference examples tested with: DADA2 1.30+, cutadapt 4.4+ Before using code patterns, verify installed versions match. If versions differ: - R: `packageVersion('<pkg>')` then `?function_name` to verify parameters If code throws ImportError, AttributeError, or TypeError, introspect the installed package and adapt the example to match the actual API rather than retrying. # Amplicon Processing with DADA2 **"Process my 16S amplicon data to get ASVs"** → Denoise amplicon sequencing reads into exact amplicon sequence variants (ASVs) through quality filtering, error model learning, and chimera removal. - R: `dada2::filterAndTrim()` → `learnErrors()` → `dada()` → `removeBimeraDenovo()` ## Complete DADA2 Workflow ```r library(dada2) path <- 'raw_reads' fnFs <- sort(list.files(path, pattern = '_R1_001.fastq.gz', full.names = TRUE)) fnRs <- sort(list.files(path, pattern = '_R2_001.fastq.gz', full.names = TRUE)) sample_names <- sapply(strsplit(basename(fnFs), '_'), `[`, 1) # Quality profiles plotQualityProfile(fnFs[1:2]) plotQualityProfile(fnRs[1:2]) ``` ## Quality Filtering and Trimming ```r filtFs <- file.path('filtered', paste0(sample_names, '_F_filt.fastq.gz')) fi

About this skill
What does the bio-microbiome-amplicon-processing skill do?

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.

How do I install it?

Run `npx skills add FreedomIntelligence/OpenClaw-Medical-Skills --skill bio-microbiome-amplicon-processing --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.

Where does this skill come from?

From FreedomIntelligence/OpenClaw-Medical-Skills, a repository with 2,909 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.

Is a popular skill a good skill?

Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
