bio-chipseq-chip-deep-learning

Trains and applies base-resolution deep learning models on ChIP-seq / ChIP-nexus / CUT&RUN data. Uses BPNet (Avsec 2021 Nat Genet 53:354; soft motif syntax from ChIP-nexus), chromBPNet (Pampari A et al 2025 Nat Genet; bias-factorized base-resolution profiles), EnFormer (Avsec 2021 Nat Methods 18:1196; 196 kb input, ~100 kb effective receptive field), DeepSEA (Zhou 2015; multi-task CNN), and JASPAR 2026 deep-learning collection (1259 BPNet ChIP models). Performs in silico mutagenesis for variant-effect prediction, DeepLIFT/Grad attribution, and TF-MoDISco motif discovery from attribution scores

About this skill
What does the bio-chipseq-chip-deep-learning skill do?

Trains and applies base-resolution deep learning models on ChIP-seq / ChIP-nexus / CUT&RUN data. Uses BPNet (Avsec 2021 Nat Genet 53:354; soft motif syntax from ChIP-nexus), chromBPNet (Pampari A et al 2025 Nat Genet; bias-factorized base-resolution profiles), EnFormer (Avsec 2021 Nat Methods 18:1196; 196 kb input, ~100 kb effective receptive field), DeepSEA (Zhou 2015; multi-task CNN), and JASPAR 2026 deep-learning collection (1259 BPNet ChIP models). Performs in silico mutagenesis for variant-effect prediction, DeepLIFT/Grad attribution, and TF-MoDISco motif discovery from attribution scores

How do I install it?

Run `npx skills add BioTender-max/awesome-bio-agent-skills --skill chip-deep-learning --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 BioTender-max/awesome-bio-agent-skills, a repository with 135 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.
