bio-temporal-genomics-trajectory-modeling

Models continuous temporal trajectories from bulk or time-resolved omics data using generalized additive models (mgcv), spline regression, and changepoint detection (segmented, ruptures). Fits smooth gene expression curves and tests trajectory differences between conditions. Use when fitting non-linear temporal models to bulk time-series data or comparing developmental trajectories across conditions. Not for single-cell pseudotime (see single-cell/trajectory-inference).

## Version Compatibility Reference examples tested with: R stats (base), numpy 1.26+, pandas 2.2+, scanpy 1.10+ Before using code patterns, verify installed versions match. If versions differ: - Python: `pip show <package>` then `help(module.function)` to check signatures - R: `packageVersion('<pkg>')` then `?function_name` to verify parameters If code throws ImportError, AttributeError, or TypeError, introspect the installed package and adapt the example to match the actual API rather than retrying. # Temporal Trajectory Modeling **"Fit smooth curves to my gene expression time series"** → Model continuous temporal trajectories using generalized additive models (GAMs) or spline regression, test for condition differences, and detect changepoints where dynamics shift abruptly. - R: `mgcv::gam()` for GAM fitting with smooth terms - Python: `ruptures` for changepoint detection in temporal profiles Fits smooth non-linear curves to gene expression time series using generalized additive models (GAMs) and detects abrupt changes in temporal dynamics using changepoint algorithms. ## Core Workflow 1. Prepare expression data with timepoint and condition metadata 2. Fit GAM or spline models per

About this skill
What does the bio-temporal-genomics-trajectory-modeling skill do?

Models continuous temporal trajectories from bulk or time-resolved omics data using generalized additive models (mgcv), spline regression, and changepoint detection (segmented, ruptures). Fits smooth gene expression curves and tests trajectory differences between conditions. Use when fitting non-linear temporal models to bulk time-series data or comparing developmental trajectories across conditions. Not for single-cell pseudotime (see single-cell/trajectory-inference).

How do I install it?

Run `npx skills add BioTender-max/awesome-bio-agent-skills --skill trajectory-modeling --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.
