What problem does it solve?
This Skill removes the friction of working with genomic intervals and bioinformatics files by turning common research operations into fast, composable Polars workflows.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Interval arithmetic: Find overlaps, nearest hits, merges, coverage, complements, and subtractive differences across genomic regions.
- Bioinformatics file I/O: Read, scan, write, and stream BED, VCF, BAM, CRAM, GFF/GTF, FASTA, FASTQ, SAM, and Hi-C pairs data, including cloud URIs.
- SQL and pileup workflows: Register datasets as tables, query them with SQL, and compute read depth for coverage analysis.
- Use Case: A researcher can scan a large BAM file, find coverage gaps in target regions, and merge the results into a compact interval set for downstream review.
Quick Start
Ask the assistant to load my genomic files, run the relevant interval or file I/O operation, and return the result as a Polars table.
