alterlab-rnaseq-quant
From the author
Quantifies bulk RNA-seq transcript abundance with salmon 2.x (the Rust rewrite; selective alignment or --sketch) and kallisto (v0.52.0, kb-python workflow), builds a decoy-aware gentrome index, runs quant with --gcBias -l A, then imports estimates via tximport/tximeta with a tx2gene map and hands differential expression to alterlab-pydeseq2. Warns that salmon 2.0 cannot read C++/pufferfish indices (rebuild every index), that --validateMappings is now accepted-but-ignored, and that 'salmon alevin' was REMOVED (single-cell now uses piscem + alevin-fry). Use when quantifying RNA-seq transcript abundance, running salmon or kallisto, building a decoy-aware index, or wiring tximport to DESeq2; for differential expression use alterlab-pydeseq2, for FASTQ-to-VCF variant calling use alterlab-nf-core-sarek.

- alterlab-pydeseq2AlterLab-IEU/AlterLab-Academic-SkillsRun differential gene expression analysis on bulk RNA-seq count matrices with PyDESeq2, the Python port of DESeq2 — size-factor normalization, dispersion estimation, Wald tests, FDR (Benjamini-Hochberg) correction, and volcano/MA plots. Use when identifying differentially expressed genes between conditions from raw bulk RNA-seq counts. Part of the AlterLab Academic Skills suite.Testing★ 84
- bulk-rnaseqK-Dense-AI/scientific-agent-skillsPrepares bulk RNA-seq FASTQ, Salmon, STAR or featureCounts output for gene-level differential expression. Covers nf-core/rnaseq and standalone quantification, biological replication, strandedness, reference provenance, validated count assembly and a PyDESeq2 handoff. Use for FASTQ-to-counts analysis, nf-core/rnaseq configuration, STAR/Salmon quantification, or building a counts matrix for DESeq2. For single-cell data use scanpy; for statistical fitting alone use pydeseq2.Science★ 56K
- alterlab-scanpyAlterLab-IEU/AlterLab-Academic-SkillsRun the standard single-cell RNA-seq analysis pipeline with Scanpy on AnnData — QC filtering, normalization, dimensionality reduction (PCA, UMAP, t-SNE), Leiden/Louvain clustering, marker/differential expression, PAGA trajectories, and plotting. Use when analyzing scRNA-seq data through clustering, cell-type annotation, DE, or pseudotime workflows; for building or reading the .h5ad data structure itself (layers, obs/var, concatenation, backed mode) prefer alterlab-anndata instead, and for RNA velocity from spliced/unspliced counts prefer alterlab-scvelo instead.

- salmon-rna-quantificationjaechang-hits/SciAgent-SkillsUltra-fast RNA-seq transcript/gene quantification via quasi-mapping (no BAM). Builds a k-mer index from transcriptome FASTA, quantifies in minutes. Outputs TPM/count tables (quant.sf) with optional GC- and sequence-bias correction. Integrates with tximeta/tximport for DESeq2/edgeR. Use STAR when a genome-aligned BAM is needed.Science★ 385
- alterlab-qcaAlterLab-IEU/AlterLab-Academic-SkillsRuns Qualitative Comparative Analysis — crisp-set (csQCA), multi-value (mvQCA), and fuzzy-set (fsQCA) — for small-to-medium-N configurational research: calibrating raw data into set membership, building and refining a truth table, and Boolean minimization into conservative / parsimonious / intermediate solutions with consistency and coverage. Because there is no maintained Python QCA library, it shells out to R's QCA package (calibrate, truthTable, minimize) via Rscript and documents that dependency honestly rather than faking a Python API. Use when the request mentions QCA, fsQCA, csQCA, configurational or set-theoretic analysis, necessary/sufficient conditions, truth tables, or calibration of conditions. For net-effect estimation of a single treatment prefer alterlab-causal-inference; for interpretive analysis prefer alterlab-qualitative-methods. Part of the AlterLab Academic Skills suite.Science★ 84
- alterlab-qiime2-ampliconAlterLab-IEU/AlterLab-Academic-SkillsRuns 16S/ITS amplicon (microbiome) analysis with the QIIME 2 distribution (2026.7; the "amplicon" distribution was renamed "qiime2" in 2026.4) in the correct order: manifest import, cutadapt trim-paired primer removal BEFORE dada2 denoise-paired (trunc-len chosen from the demux quality .qzv), feature-classifier classify-sklearn against a version-matched SILVA 138 or Greengenes2 classifier, and diversity core-metrics-phylogenetic — teaching the .qza/.qzv artifact-and-provenance model and the 2026.1 feature-table summarize change (the former summarize_plus). Use when the request mentions QIIME2, QIIME 2, qiime, 16S, 18S, ITS, amplicon, microbiome, ASV, DADA2 denoising, feature table, taxonomic classification, or core-metrics diversity. For downstream alpha/beta diversity, PCoA, and PERMANOVA on the exported feature table prefer alterlab-scikit-bio; this is conda-only (no pip install).
