What it does

Genomic Coordinates is an agent skill from K-Dense-AI/scientific-agent-skills. Converts genomic intervals between coordinate conventions, normalises and compares variant representations, and detects assembly or contig-naming mismatches before they corrupt an analysis. Used whenever coordinates cross a format, tool, or assembly boundary - converting between BED, GFF/GTF, VCF, SAM/BAM, WIG, PSL, genePred, Picard intervallist, or region strings; reconciling 0-based half-open with 1-based inclusive; left-aligning or trimming indels; checking whether two variant records describe the same change…

Its SKILL.md is about 3.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 11 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/format-conventions.md`, `references/reference-builds.md` and `references/transcript-coordinates.md`). Compatibility notes: Requires Python 3.11+. Scripts use only the standard library - no third-party packages and no network access. Variant normalisation needs an uncompressed…

It sits in Research & Science, covering Bioinformatics. The repository describes itself as: Turn any AI agent into an AI Scientist. The 1 Agent Skills library for science, used by 250,000+ scientists worldwide. 177 ready-to-use validated skills plus 100+ scientific… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Include off by one
  • Coordinate system
  • Normalize variant
  • Wrong genome build

Example prompts

  • “off by one”
  • “0-based”
  • “1-based”
  • “/genomic-coordinates”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Requires Python 3.11+. Scripts use only the standard library - no third-party packages and no network access. Variant normalisation needs an uncompressed reference FASTA with exact contig names; .fai enables indexed access. Without .fai the entire FASTA is loaded into memory.
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Edit, Bash

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 92ace75. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Write
    • Edit
    • Bash

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 5 files in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python3

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

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • arxiv.org
    • hgvs-nomenclature.org
    • doi.org
    • export.arxiv.org

    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.

  • Compatibility

    Requires Python 3.11+. Scripts use only the standard library - no third-party packages and no network access. Variant normalisation needs an uncompressed reference FASTA with exact contig names; .fai enables indexed access. Without .fai the entire FASTA is loaded into memory.

Context cost

Genomic Coordinates loads about 3.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~12k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 236 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,308 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~236
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.2k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~12k

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.

Genomic Coordinates

When to use

Any time a coordinate crosses a boundary: between two file formats, between two tools, between two assemblies, or between the genome and a transcript.

The rule

A coordinate is three facts, not one: the number, the convention it is written in, and the assembly it was measured against. Carry all three or the number is not interpretable.

Coordinate errors are the quietest class of bug in genomics. An off-by-one BED file parses, sorts, and intersects without complaint. A GRCh37 VCF joined against a GRCh38 annotation returns rows. A right-shifted indel simply fails to match its entry in ClinVar, and the result is a variant reported as novel. Nothing raises an error; the answer is just wrong, and it is wrong in a direction that looks plausible.

So: convert with the table, not from memory, and verify against the reference whenever a reference is available.

The two conversions

1-based inclusive  ->  0-based half-open :  start - 1,  end
0-based half-open  ->  1-based inclusive :  start + 1,  end

These formulas apply to nonempty spans on the same reference and strand. They do not encode insertions, circular wraparound, liftover, or transcript mapping.

Which format is which

0-based, half-open1-based, inclusive
BED, bedGraph, bigWig, narrowPeakGFF3, GTF, VCF
BAM (binary POS), BCF (binary POS)SAM text POS, CRAM absolute alignment start
PSL, genePred, refFlatWIG, Picard interval_list
MAF (UCSC multiple alignment)MAF (TCGA mutation annotation)
PyRanges, pybedtoolsGRanges/IRanges, samtools & UCSC & Ensembl region strings

Both "MAF" formats exist, they mean different things, and they disagree. UCSC serves 0-based files through a 1-based browser box. references/format-conventions.md has the full table with per-format detail.

bash
cd skills/genomic-coordinates/scripts

python3 convert_coords.py --list                          # the table
python3 convert_coords.py --from bed --to gff chr1 999 1000
python3 convert_coords.py --from ucsc --to bed "chr7:5,530,601-5,530,625"
python3 convert_coords.py --from granges --to pyranges --input regions.tsv
contig  input                 output           length  status  detail
chr7    chr7:5530601-5530625  5530600-5530625  25      ok

Zero-length BED features (chromStart == chromEnd, a legal insertion point) are reported as unrepresentable for an inclusive target because the converter lacks feature semantics. GFF3 can encode insertion sites with equal endpoints and a feature type; that is different from an ordinary single-base interval. Exit code is 1 for invalid or unrepresentable output; valid zero-length half-open output exits 0. Output is a diagnostic TSV/JSON table, not a rewritten GFF/VCF.

--input parses BED/bedGraph, GFF/GTF, literal-allele VCF REF spans, explicit region strings, and three-column GRanges/PyRanges/Python TSVs. Other table rows are conventions only: extract an interval with a native parser and pass a triple. All bundled text readers expect uncompressed files.

Variants are not intervals

For a simple VCF indel, POS normally identifies the unchanged padding base before the event. At contig position 1 the padding can follow the event. Complex substitutions need not have an unchanged anchor. And the same change can be written many ways: chr1:7:CAC:C, chr1:3:CAC:C and chr1:2:GCA:G are one deletion. Joining, deduplicating, or looking up variants before normalising loses real matches silently, and it loses them preferentially in repeats, where indels concentrate.

Normalise — trim to parsimony, then left-align against the reference — before any comparison:

bash
python3 normalize_variant.py --fasta ref.fa chr1 7 CAC C
python3 normalize_variant.py --fasta ref.fa --split --input cohort.vcf
python3 normalize_variant.py --fasta ref.fa --compare chr1:7:CAC:C chr1:2:GCA:G
input         normalized    type      pos_shift  ref_check  changed
chr1:7:CAC:C  chr1:2:GCA:G  deletion  5          ok         yes

Literal alleles are checked against the FASTA using exact contig names. A MISMATCH can indicate an assembly, sequence, strand, or coordinate error; stop and investigate with check_contigs.py and sequence provenance. The helper rejects unsplit ALT lists: use --split for independently normalized allele keys. Its TSV discards genotypes and annotations; use bcftools norm for production VCF rewriting. Symbolic/breakend/missing/spanning-deletion alleles are passed through as skipped, without REF or structural validation.

The default left-shift window is 1,000 bp. If it prevents completion, the helper returns incomplete, exits 1, and refuses an equivalence verdict. Increase --window and rerun. Matching normalized keys tests individual literal alleles, not haplotype equivalence across multiple records.

HGVS applies the 3'-most rule to the reference sequence being described. For transcript c./n. notation, this means increasing genomic coordinates on a plus-strand gene and decreasing coordinates on a minus-strand gene. The minus-strand direction can therefore agree with VCF left-alignment; genomic g. notation shifts toward the contig end. Details and exceptions: references/variant-representation.md.

Check the assembly before trusting a join

bash
python3 check_contigs.py --identify unknown.fa.fai
python3 check_contigs.py variants.vcf annotation.gtf --genome GRCh38.fa.fai
file          kind    contigs  naming        assembly  detail
ref.fa.fai    sizes   25       plain         GRCh37    24/24 primary chromosome lengths match;
                                                       chrM is 16569 bp, i.e. GRCh37/38 (rCRS MT)

The script reads .fai, .chrom.sizes, VCF headers, SAM headers, FASTA, BED, and GTF/GFF, identifies the assembly from primary-chromosome lengths, and reports detectable conflicts: naming mismatch, length conflict, coordinates past a contig end, contigs present in one file only. Exit code 1 on a detected conflict. unknown/ambiguous with exit 0 is not proof of compatibility; lengths cannot detect same-length sequence changes or masking. Reference contig supersets are expected. VCF header and record extents are both checked when comparing; SV/gVCF spans require a native validator.

GRCh37 and hg19 share primary nuclear coordinates, but differ in mitochondrial reference — 16,569 bp (rCRS) versus 16,571 bp. Nuclear coordinates are identical, so a mixed pipeline runs fine and only the mtDNA results are wrong. check_contigs.py reports which one it found. Builds, naming schemes, ALT contigs, and liftover pitfalls: references/reference-builds.md.

Audit a file against its own format

bash
python3 audit_intervals.py peaks.bed
python3 audit_intervals.py gencode.gtf --genome hg38.chrom.sizes
python3 audit_intervals.py cohort.vcf --genome GRCh38.fa.fai

Looks for the evidence that a coordinate mistake leaves behind:

FindingInterpretation
start_below_one in GFF/GTFInvalid start; a convention error is one possible cause
many_zero_length in BEDCould be insertion sites or misencoded single-base features
past_contig_endwrong assembly, or an off-by-one at the contig edge
mixed_contig_namingReview exact names against the intended reference
first_block_offsetBED12 blockStarts written as absolute coordinates
not_parsimoniousuntrimmed alleles; normalise before joining
bad_alt_alleleEnsembl/VEP - notation in a VCF, which has no anchor base

Exit code 1 on any fatal finding. This is a targeted coordinate audit, not a full format validator. Special VCF alleles produce structural_extent_unchecked; circular GFF3 spans need feature-aware validation. The narrowPeak/broadPeak readers do not interpret signal columns as BED thickStart/thickEnd.

Transcript, CDS, and protein positions

c.742 and chr17:7,674,220 are both "position", and neither converts to the other by arithmetic. Transcript coordinates count spliced bases in transcription order — decreasing genomic coordinate on the minus strand — and c.1 is the A of the initiator ATG, not the start of the transcript.

The rules that get mis-remembered: there is no c.0; 5' UTR positions are negative and 3' UTR positions take a *; GFF phase counts bases to skip when locating the next complete codon within a CDS segment (retain them when joining coding exons), not start % 3; and a c. description is meaningless without a versioned transcript accession, because the same variant numbers differently in each transcript. references/transcript-coordinates.md has the conversion procedure and the boundary cases.

Use VEP, Mutalyzer, or the hgvs package with the matching transcript model for HGVS conversion. bcftools csq annotates haplotype-aware coding effects; it is not a general genomic-to-HGVS converter.

Reporting results

State the assembly next to the coordinates, every time. chr7:5,530,601-5,530,625 is not a location; chr7:5,530,601-5,530,625 (GRCh38) is. Say which convention a coordinate column is in, in the column header or the file's documentation. When a conversion produced a result, say which direction it went.

Verified scope

Reviewed the current VCF 4.5, SAM/BAM, CRAM 3, GFF3, UCSC, HGVS, Ensembl REST, and bcftools manuals on 2026-10-01. Bundled standard-library helpers are tested on synthetic fixtures; normalization is cross-checked against bcftools 1.24. Transcript annotation and liftover tools are documented alternatives, not executed whole-genome workflows. Source links are in the references below.

Questions about Genomic Coordinates

What does Genomic Coordinates do?

Converts genomic intervals between coordinate conventions, normalises and compares variant representations, and detects assembly or contig-naming mismatches before they corrupt an analysis. Genomic Coordinates is an agent skill from K-Dense-AI/scientific-agent-skills. Converts genomic intervals between coordinate conventions, normalises and compares variant representations, and detects assembly or contig-naming mismatches before they corrupt an analysis.

When should I use Genomic Coordinates?

Genomic Coordinates fits situations like: include off by one; coordinate system; normalize variant; wrong genome build.

How do I install Genomic Coordinates in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add K-Dense-AI/scientific-agent-skills --skill genomic-coordinates -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/genomic-coordinates in K-Dense-AI/scientific-agent-skills) into .claude/skills/genomic-coordinates in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install Genomic Coordinates in Codex?

Run `npx skills add K-Dense-AI/scientific-agent-skills --skill genomic-coordinates -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/genomic-coordinates in K-Dense-AI/scientific-agent-skills) into .agents/skills/genomic-coordinates in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Genomic Coordinates in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add K-Dense-AI/scientific-agent-skills --skill genomic-coordinates -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/genomic-coordinates, .gemini/skills/genomic-coordinates, .github/skills/genomic-coordinates and .opencode/skills/genomic-coordinates in your project.

What does Genomic Coordinates need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Genomic Coordinates needs Python for the scripts in its folder and the command-line tools its instructions call (python3). Our summary lists: Python 3. Its frontmatter pre-approves these tools: Read, Write, Edit, Bash. Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Requires Python 3.11+. Scripts use only the standard library - no third-party packages and no network access. Variant normalisation needs an uncompressed reference FASTA with exact contig names; .fai enables indexed access. Without .fai the entire FASTA is loaded into memory..

Does Genomic Coordinates access the network?

SKILL.md names 4 domains. As links in the text: arxiv.org, hgvs-nomenclature.org, doi.org and export.arxiv.org. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Genomic Coordinates safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found notes only (pre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: bash)), nothing it rates as a warning. It is not a guarantee. The check reads SKILL.md only: the scripts in the folder are not scanned, so read them before running anything.

What licence does Genomic Coordinates use?

Genomic Coordinates is published under the MIT licence (declared in SKILL.md). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does Genomic Coordinates use?

About 3.2k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 13k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 9.2k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.

What are the alternatives to Genomic Coordinates?

Skills that share tags, products or a category with Genomic Coordinates: Alphagenome Single Variant Analysis (google-deepmind/science-skills, 3.2k stars), Clinvar Database (google-deepmind/science-skills, 3.2k stars), Metabolic Study Planner (aiming-lab/AutoResearchClaw, 15k stars) and Dbsnp Database (google-deepmind/science-skills, 3.2k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
