From the SKILL.md

## Version Compatibility Reference examples tested with: DESeq2 1.42+, MACS3 3.0+, STAR 2.7.11+, bedtools 2.31+, fastp 0.23+, samtools 1.19+ Before using code patterns, verify installed versions match. If versions differ: - R: `packageVersion('<pkg>')` then `?function_name` to verify parameters - CLI: `<tool> --version` then `<tool> --help` to confirm flags If code throws ImportError, AttributeError, or TypeError, introspect the installed package and adapt the example to match the actual API rather than retrying. # MeRIP-seq Pipeline **"Analyze my MeRIP-seq data from FASTQ to differential m6A peaks"** → Orchestrate read alignment (STAR), m6A peak calling (exomePeak2/MACS3), differential modification testing, and metagene/Guitar visualization of modification sites. ## Pipeline Overview ``` FASTQ → QC → Align IP+Input → Peak calling → Annotation → Differential → Visualization ``` ## Step 1: Quality Control ```bash fastp -i IP_R1.fq.gz -I IP_R2.fq.gz \ -o IP_R1_trimmed.fq.gz -O IP_R2_trimmed.fq.gz \ --json IP_fastp.json --html IP_fastp.html fastp -i Input_R1.fq.gz -I Input_R2.fq.gz \ -o Input_R1_trimmed.fq.gz -O Input_R2_trimmed.fq.gz \ --json Input_fastp.json --html Input_fastp.html

About this skill
What does the bio-workflows-merip-pipeline skill do?

End-to-end MeRIP-seq analysis from FASTQ to m6A peaks and differential methylation. Use when analyzing epitranscriptomic m6A modifications from immunoprecipitation data.

How do I install it?

Run `npx skills add BioTender-max/awesome-bio-agent-skills --skill merip-pipeline --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.
