pydeseq2 SKILL.md skillA

pydeseq2 from k-dense-ai/scientific-agent-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add k-dense-ai/scientific-agent-skills/pydeseq2@v1.7

Pins v1.7 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Performs bulk RNA-seq differential expression analysis with PyDESeq2, including count validation, formula designs, explicit contrasts, Wald tests, FDR correction, coefficient-matched LFC shrinkage, and result visualization. Use for PyDESeq2 or Python DESeq2 workflows with biological replicates.

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

# PyDESeq2

Use this skill for bulk RNA-seq negative-binomial GLMs, with explicit biological
replicates, covariates, and comparisons. Cells, sequencing lanes, and repeated
measurements from the same donor are not independent biological replicates.
Donor-level pseudobulk can be appropriate when its aggregation and design match
the scientific question; this is not a single-cell per-cell testing workflow.

Current [PyDESeq2 0.5.4](https://github.com/scverse/PyDESeq2/releases/tag/v0.5.4)
provides Wald tests and apeGLM-style coefficient shrinkage. Do not assume every
feature or numerical result of current R DESeq2 is implemented identically.
See [API and tested versions](references/api_reference.md) for supported calls,
AnnData storage, and source/runtime verification limits.

## Analysis contract

1. Establish the experimental unit, count provenance, sample exclusions, reference
   levels, and intended comparison before fitting. Use nonnegative integer counts
   in **samples × genes** order, with unique sample/gene IDs. TPM, FPKM, log data,
   VST data, and library-normalized counts are not model inputs. Integer checks

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add k-dense-ai/scientific-agent-skills/pydeseq2@sha256:f06a9f5ece540c05

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.7, 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.
