comparative-genomics
Workflow for orthology, synteny, ancestral reconstruction, and evolutionary comparison across genomes.
npx skills add BioTender-max/awesome-bio-agent-skills --skill comparative-genomics --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Comparative Genomics ## Version Compatibility Reference examples assume recent stable releases of the preferred tools, especially `orthology` and the other tools listed below. Before using code or command patterns, verify installed versions match the environment: - Python: `python -c "import <module>; print(<module>.__version__)"` - CLI: `<tool> --version` - If signatures differ, inspect the installed help or API and adapt the pattern instead of retrying unchanged. ## Overview Workflow for orthology, synteny, ancestral reconstruction, and evolutionary comparison across genomes. ## When To Use This Skill - use when the task is cross-genome comparison or evolutionary inference - use when assembled genomes and annotations are available for multiple taxa or strains - use when the user needs orthologs, synteny blocks, or positive-selection style summaries ## Quick Route - If the input is raw or minimally processed data, start with validation and QC before any modeling. - If the input is already processed, skip directly to the first workflow step that matches the user goal. - If the user asks for a biological conclusion, always produce at least one QC or confidence artifact alongside t

What does the comparative-genomics skill do?
Workflow for orthology, synteny, ancestral reconstruction, and evolutionary comparison across genomes.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add BioTender-max/awesome-bio-agent-skills --skill comparative-genomics --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.
