What it does

Alphagenome Predictions is an agent skill from genomicsxai/alphagenome-pytorch. Run AlphaGenome-PyTorch to get genomic track predictions — via the agt predict CLI (single locus, BED regions, whole chromosomes, raw FASTA sequences, or per-gene count tables/AnnData), variant effect scoring (agt score), or the Python API. Covers picking a specific assay, cell type, or resolution, e.g. "get DNase predictions from GM12878 at 128bp", "write a wrapper for all K562 predictions", filtering tracks by metadata (biosample, assay, ontology, strand). Use when the task is about USING the model for…

Its SKILL.md is about 870 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in AI & LLM Engineering, covering Deep learning and Bioinformatics. It works with PyTorch, Python and AnnData. The repository describes itself as: AlphaGenome PyTorch port. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • The task is about USING the model for inference/predictions
  • Not developing the package

Example prompts

  • “get DNase predictions from GM12878 at 128bp”
  • “write a wrapper for all K562 predictions”
  • “/alphagenome-predictions”

Requirements

  • Python 3

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 72268c0. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Alphagenome Predictions loads about 868 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 147 tokens; SKILL.md has 301 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~147
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~868

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description
Run AlphaGenome-PyTorch to get genomic track predictions — via the `agt predict` CLI (single locus, BED regions, whole chromosomes, raw FASTA sequences, or per-gene count tables/AnnData), variant effect scoring (`agt score`), or the Python API. Covers picking a specific assay, cell type, or resolution, e.g. "get DNase predictions from GM12878 at 128bp", "write a wrapper for all K562 predictions", filtering tracks by metadata (biosample, assay, ontology, strand). Use when the task is about USING the model for inference/predictions, not developing the package.

Getting predictions from AlphaGenome-PyTorch

docs/alphagenome-usage.md is the canonical guide. Read only the relevant sections:

  • Disk output: Command line: agt predict
  • Variant effect scoring (SNV/VCF): Variant scoring: agt score
  • Convert JAX weights / obtain a checkpoint: Getting a checkpoint: agt convert
  • Python tensors and input shapes: The 30-second version and Step 1
  • Assay/cell-type/resolution selection: Step 2, Step 3, and Recipes
  • Exact counts and metadata literals: Step 2 and Available metadata fields
  • Per-gene counts / gene expression matrices: Gene-level aggregation
  • Padding, custom metadata, precision, or raw outputs: Gotchas

Try the CLI first — agt predict writes predictions to disk without any Python:

bash
agt predict --model model.pth --output out/ --head dnase \
    --locus chr1:1000000-1131072 --fasta hg38.fa --resolution 128

Input modes (mutually exclusive): --locus (one interval), --bed (many regions), --chromosomes (whole chromosomes, tiled), --sequences (raw FASTA → NPZ). Add --anndata FILE --annotation GTF for a per-gene count table (AnnData); add --gene-strand match for RNA-seq so antisense tracks don't inflate counts. agt predict is the same code path as the scripts/predict_*.py shims — prefer agt, which ships with the package. See agt predict --help.

For variant effect scoring, use agt score (not predict):

bash
agt score --model model.pth --fasta hg38.fa --variant "chr22:36201698:A>C" --output scores.tsv

--vcf for batches; --scorer recommended (default) or a comma-separated subset; gene-centric scorers need --gtf. See the guide's Variant scoring: agt score.

Use the Python API when you need tensors in-process or metadata-based selection:

  • Load: AlphaGenome.from_pretrained("model.pth", device=...).
  • Predict with metadata: model.predict(dna, organism_index, named_outputs=True) where dna is one-hot (B, 131072, 4) and organism_index is 0=human / 1=mouse.
  • Select tracks by biology, then index by resolution: out.dnase.select(biosample_name="GM12878")[128].tensor.
  • Filter fields include biosample_name, assay_title, biosample_type, histone_mark, transcription_factor, ontology_curie, strand.
  • Gene × track expression matrices: alphagenome_pytorch.aggregation (submodule import, not the package root) — gene_expression (exons, log) or aggregate_genes (gene body, linear), then .to_anndata() / .to_dataframe().

Explore available tracks without weights: agt info --heads, agt info --tracks dnase --filter biosample_name=K562 (prints track indices for agt predict --tracks), or in Python TrackMetadataCatalog.load_builtin("human").

For the deeper API reference see docs/named_outputs.rst; for package development conventions see CLAUDE.md.
