What problem does it solve?
Running DeepSEA-style chromatin annotation models locally requires custom PyTorch environments and model weight management. This Skill replaces that setup with a single CLI call to the hosted Genomic Intelligence API, returning per-window predictions across 919 tracks (histone marks, DNase, TF binding) for any DNA sequence.
Core Features & Use Cases
- 919-track chromatin prediction: Submits a single-record FASTA (200–500,000 bp) to the /v1/tasks/chromatin/predict endpoint and receives per-window histone mark, DNase, and TF binding predictions.
- Structured outputs: Produces a Markdown summary report, a full result.json with per-track predictions and rate-limit metadata, plus a reproducibility bundle (command.sh and environment.json).
- Flexible authentication: Resolves the Genomic Intelligence API key from a --api-key flag or the GI_API_KEY environment variable, with a shared hackathon key available for demos.
- Use Case: A researcher with a chr19 promoter region FASTA runs the demo command to confirm dense H3K4me3, H3K27ac, and DNase signal, then mines result.json for specific tracks of interest.
Quick Start
Run the gi-chromatin demo to predict chromatin states for the bundled chr19 active-promoter FASTA sequence.
