evo2
Score, embed, and generate DNA sequences with Evo 2, a long-context genomic foundation model. Use this skill when: (1) Computing per-nucleotide or per-sequence likelihoods for variant effect scoring, (2) Embedding genomic windows for downstream classification, (3) Generating DNA conditioned on a prefix, (4) Scoring regulatory or coding regions across species.
npx skills add BioTender-max/awesome-bio-agent-skills --skill evo2 --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.

What does the evo2 skill do?
Score, embed, and generate DNA sequences with Evo 2, a long-context genomic foundation model. Use this skill when: (1) Computing per-nucleotide or per-sequence likelihoods for variant effect scoring, (2) Embedding genomic windows for downstream classification, (3) Generating DNA conditioned on a prefix, (4) Scoring regulatory or coding regions across species.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add BioTender-max/awesome-bio-agent-skills --skill evo2 --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.
