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.

About this skill
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 xuzhougeng/wisp-science --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 xuzhougeng/wisp-science, a repository with 895 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.
