bio-alignment-msa-statistics SKILL.md skillA

bio-alignment-msa-statistics from fridrichmethod/awesome-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add fridrichmethod/awesome-skills/bio-alignment-msa-statistics@git:20260517.81511a7

Pins git:20260517.81511a7 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Calculate alignment statistics including sequence identity, conservation scores, substitution matrices, and similarity metrics. Use when comparing alignment quality, measuring sequence divergence, and analyzing evolutionary patterns.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

## Version Compatibility

Reference examples tested with: BioPython 1.83+, numpy 1.26+

Before using code patterns, verify installed versions match. If versions differ:
- Python: `pip show <package>` then `help(module.function)` to check signatures

If code throws ImportError, AttributeError, or TypeError, introspect the installed
package and adapt the example to match the actual API rather than retrying.

# MSA Statistics

Calculate sequence identity, conservation scores, substitution counts, and other alignment metrics.

## Required Import

**Goal:** Load modules for alignment I/O, substitution scoring, and statistical calculations.

**Approach:** Import AlignIO for reading alignments, Counter for column analysis, numpy for matrix operations, and math for entropy calculations.

```python
from Bio import AlignIO
from Bio.Align import substitution_matrices
from collections import Counter
import numpy as np
import math
```

## Pairwise Identity

**"Calculate percent identity"** → Compute the fraction of identical aligned residues between sequence pairs.

**Goal:** Measure sequence similarity as percent identity for individual pairs or across all sequences in an alignment.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add fridrichmethod/awesome-skills/bio-alignment-msa-statistics@sha256:f0e4f4f2f5112d84

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260517.81511a7, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
