AutoGineer summary
Written by AutoGineer from the skill’s own files, not by the author
AlphaGenome is a sequence-to-function model that predicts the molecular effects of DNA variants across thousands of human and mouse tracks. This skill provides an interface to the AlphaGenome Atlas, a precomputed database of 9 billion GRCh38 SNVs, and the underlying model for on-demand scoring. It enables researchers to prioritize variants using the AlphaGenome Variant Impact (AVI) score, interpret regulatory mechanisms through SHAP feature attributions, and generate deep links to the AlphaGenome portal. The tool is intended for research use only and is not a clinical diagnostic instrument.
What it does
- Query the AlphaGenome Atlas for precomputed AVI scores and 18-way SHAP feature attributions.
- Score custom variants or genomic windows using the AlphaGenome model for human and mouse.
- Perform in silico mutagenesis and REF-versus-ALT track predictions.
- Generate deep links to the AlphaGenome portal for visual inspection of variant effects.
- Filter and rank variants based on Phred scores, quantiles, and specific assay tracks.
- Retrieve detailed track-level scores for RNA-seq, chromatin accessibility, and splicing.
When to use it
- When you need to prioritize non-coding, regulatory, or splicing effects of SNVs from a VCF or credible set.
- When you want to mechanistically interpret how a variant influences enhancers, promoters, or chromatin accessibility.
- When you need to perform in silico mutagenesis for variants not present in the precomputed Atlas.
- When you require a standardized molecular impact score (AVI) for human GRCh38 variants.
Advantages
- Provides genome-wide, precomputed impact scores for rapid variant prioritization.
- Offers mechanistic insights through SHAP feature attributions and track-specific predictions.
- Supports both precomputed Atlas lookups and on-demand model scoring for flexibility.
- Integrates with standard genomic file formats and provides clear coordinate handling.
Usage examples
- “Prioritize variants in my VCF file using the AlphaGenome Atlas.”
- The agent runs the atlas_query.py script to calculate AVI scores and Phred values for the variants, outputting a ranked TSV file.
- “What is the predicted effect of chr22:36201698:A>C on RNA expression in colon tissue?”
- The agent queries the Atlas for the specified variant and RNA_SEQ scorer, filtered by the UBERON:0001157 ontology term.
- “Generate a link to the AlphaGenome portal for this variant.”
- The agent uses atlas_link.py to construct a direct URL for the variant, allowing the user to view heatmaps and track predictions on the portal.
- “Score a custom mouse variant for chromatin accessibility.”
- The agent utilizes the score_variants.py script with the mouse organism flag to predict the impact on ATAC tracks.

AlphaGenome and the AlphaGenome Atlas
AlphaGenome is DeepMind's sequence-to-function model: 1 Mb of DNA in,
predictions at modality-specific resolutions for eleven assay types across
thousands of human and mouse tracks out. The AlphaGenome Atlas (released 2026-09-08) is that model run once over
every possible single-nucleotide change in GRCh38, about 9 billion variants,
stored with a single ranking number, the AlphaGenome Variant Impact (AVI)
score, its genome-wide percentile, and an 18-way attribution of what drives it.
Both are reached through one pip install alphagenome and one API key.
Research and theoretical modelling only. API outputs must not be used to train other models, and are not for diagnostic procedures or medical decisions. Permissive-use downloads have separate terms; check the artifact licence.
When to use which
| You have | Use | Why |
|---|---|---|
| hg38 SNVs (a VCF, a credible set, a region up to ~1 kb) | Atlas via scripts/atlas_query.py | precomputed, higher quota, includes AVI and attributions |
| indels, mouse variants, a non-reference background, a custom scorer or window | model via scripts/score_variants.py or Python | the Atlas is SNV-only and hg38-only |
| a hypothesis to explain (which motif, which tissue, REF vs ALT tracks) | model predict_variant + plots, Atlas track scores, portal link | mechanism, not just rank |
| GRCh37 coordinates, rsIDs, unnormalised indels | genomic-coordinates first, then come back | wrong build or swapped REF gives a plausible wrong answer |
| ClinVar assertions, gene-disease validity, ACMG framing | folklore-variant-evidence, database-lookup | AlphaGenome is one evidence line, never the verdict |
| promoter/enhancer/expression predictions without a DeepMind key | genomic-intelligence | different provider, keyless demo tier |
Setup
uv pip install alphagenome # PyPI; tested on Python 3.12 and 3.13, alphagenome 0.9.0
export ALPHAGENOME_API_KEY="..." # https://deepmind.google.com/science/alphagenome
cd skills/alphagenome/scripts
python atlas_query.py scorers # proves key + network in one callShell examples quote variant strings because > otherwise redirects output.
Network examples below are illustrative and were checked against SDK 0.9.0
contracts, without authenticated prediction/Atlas calls during this review.
Never put the key on a command line or in a file you commit; the scripts only
read it from the environment. Authentication failures may surface as
ValueError or PermissionError,
depending on the gRPC status returned by the service.
The coordinate contract
A variant is 1-based
chr:pos:ref>alt(chr22:36201698:A>C). gnomAD (22-36201698-A-C), GTEx (chr22_36201698_A_C_b38), and Open Targets spellings are autodetected by the scripts. In the SDK, pass the matchingvariant_format=genome.VariantFormat.GNOMAD(orGTEX,OPEN_TARGETS,OPEN_TARGETS_BIGQUERY);from_strdefaults tochr:pos:ref>alt.An interval on the command line is 1-based closed
chr:start-end; the SDK'sgenome.Intervalis 0-based half-open. The scripts convert.Human is GRCh38 only. The Atlas key is
chr:pos:alt; REF is implied by the reference. Swapping REF/ALT can cause a miss; a wrong REF or build can misidentify a record. The scripts reject a returned variant that differs from the request, but cannot validate the build. Check REF against GRCh38 FASTA.rsIDs are not accepted by the API or the portal. Resolve them to coordinates.
Use the
chrprefix;MTbecomeschrM.
Atlas workflow
1. Rank with AVI
python atlas_query.py avi --variant "chr22:36201698:A>C" "chr9:128225994:G>A"
python atlas_query.py avi --input candidates.vcf --min-phred 20 -o avi.tsv
python atlas_query.py avi --interval chr11:5225727-5226575 --top-k 25 -o hbb_window.tsv
python atlas_query.py avi --input credible_set.tsv --with-tracks -o avi_tracks.tsvOutput, one row per variant:
| Column | Meaning |
|---|---|
avi_raw | composite model output (the 18 attributions sum to it) |
avi_cdf_quantile | cumulative quantile against all genome-wide SNVs, as served |
avi_tail_quantile, avi_phred, avi_top_percent | tail = 1 - cdf, phred = -10 log10(tail); Phred 20 = top 1 %, 30 = top 0.1 % |
top_feature, top_feature_value | largest absolute SHAP attribution and its value |
fi_MERGED_SPLICING ... fi_IS_DELETION | all 18 attributions (keys in references/atlas.md) |
top_track_* (with --with-tracks) | the strongest track behind the top feature: scorer, track, biosample, ontology CURIE, gene, raw score |
atlas_url | deep link to the variant on the portal |
error | per-variant lookup failure or mismatched returned allele instead of a crash |
The Atlas report's advice: rank, do not threshold, and pick thresholds by region or application. Pathogenic regulatory variants sit in lower AVI bins than protein-truncating or splice-motif variants, so a single genome-wide cut-off under-calls exactly the variants this resource was built for.
Read the attribution before the number. MERGED_SPLICING or ALPHAMISSENSE
on top means a splice or coding mechanism; MAX_ABS_DNASE, MAX_ABS_CHIP_TF,
MAX_ABS_RNA_SEQ mean a regulatory mechanism you can resolve by track;
CACTUS_241_WAY or PHASTCONS_470_WAY on top means conservation is carrying
the score and the molecular mechanism is not resolved.
2. Resolve the mechanism by track
python atlas_query.py scorers # what the server serves right now
python atlas_query.py tracks --scorer RNA_SEQ --query colon # find ontology CURIEs
python atlas_query.py scores --variant "chr22:36201698:A>C" \
--scorers RNA_SEQ DNASE SPLICE_SITE_USAGE --ontology UBERON:0001157 -o colon.tsv
python atlas_query.py scores --interval chr11:5225727-5226575 --scorers CHIP_TF -o hbb_tf.tsvOne row per variant x track (x gene or splice junction where applicable),
with raw_score and, where served, quantile_score. Track-level
scorer names: ATAC, DNASE, CHIP_TF, CHIP_HISTONE, CAGE, PROCAP,
RNA_SEQ, POLYADENYLATION, SPLICE_SITES, SPLICE_SITE_USAGE,
SPLICE_JUNCTIONS, CONTACT_MAPS, plus *_ACTIVE variants; scorers is the
authority on the live list. Filter by the tissue the question is about, not
by the genome-wide maximum: 9,440 scorer-track entries mean something may be extreme
somewhere.
3. Send the reader to the portal
python atlas_link.py variant "chr22:36201698:A>C" --biosample "colon" --modalities RNA_SEQ,DNASE,CHIP_TF
python atlas_link.py locus chr11:5225727-5226575 --tf GATA1
python atlas_link.py gene HBB --markdownNo key, no network. The site shows the AVI track, per-modality heatmaps over every biosample, REF-vs-ALT prediction tracks, and motif instances. Attach a link to every variant you report.
In Python
import os
from alphagenome.atlas import atlas
from alphagenome.data import genome
client = atlas.create(os.environ["ALPHAGENOME_API_KEY"], timeout=30)
scores = client.query_variant(
genome.Variant.from_str("chr22:36201698:A>C"),
requested_scorers=["AVI_SCORE", "AVI_SCORE_FEATURE_IMPORTANCE", "RNA_SEQ"],
ontology_terms=["UBERON:0001157"], # optional; ignored for scorers without ontology metadata
)
avi = scores["AVI_SCORE"] # AnnData: X (1,1) raw; layers['quantiles'] (1,1) cdf
fi = scores["AVI_SCORE_FEATURE_IMPORTANCE"] # AnnData: X (1,18); var['name'] = feature keys
rna = scores["RNA_SEQ"] # AnnData: obs = variant x gene, var = tracks, X = natural-log FC
client.query_interval(genome.Interval("chr11", 5225726, 5226575), requested_scorers=["AVI_SCORE"])query_interval returns up to 3 SNVs per non-N base, in 32 bp chunks. Keep windows
to about 1 kb (3,000 variants); atlas_query.py refuses more unless
--max-window is raised. query_variants raises if any submitted lookup fails;
completion order is not input order;
the script makes separate variant requests so misses become error cells.
Model workflow
Score variants the Atlas does not hold
python score_variants.py --variant "chr22:36201698:A>C" -o scores.tsv # 12 recommended scorers, 1 Mb
python score_variants.py --input indels.vcf --scorers RNA_SEQ SPLICE_SITE_USAGE \
--ontology UBERON:0001157 --min-abs-quantile 0.99 -o colon.tsv
python score_variants.py --organism mouse --variant "chr7:45000000:A>G" --scorers RNA_SEQ --sequence-length 500KB -o mouse.tsv
python score_variants.py --list-scorers
python score_variants.py --list-tracks --output-type RNA_SEQ --query liver -o tracks.tsvOutput is the official tidy table from variant_scorers.tidy_scores: one row
per variant x scorer x track (x gene) with raw_score and quantile_score,
sorted by |raw|. Default scorers are the 12 recommended difference scorers;
--include-active adds the seven *_ACTIVE activity scorers. At most 20
scorers per request. Mouse has no calibrated quantiles; use raw scores there.
--min-abs-quantile uses the supplied signed quantile magnitude (unsigned
scorers use their upper-tail quantile); it never treats zero as an extreme.
from alphagenome.models import dna_client, variant_scorers
model = dna_client.create(os.environ["ALPHAGENOME_API_KEY"])
variant = genome.Variant.from_str("chr22:36201698:A>C")

ontology_terms=["UBERON:0001157"])
vo.reference.rna_seq.values, vo.alternate.rna_seq.values # (1048576, n_tracks)
window = genome.Interval("chr20", 3_753_000, 3_753_400).resize(dna_client.SEQUENCE_LENGTH_16KB)
ism = model.score_ism_variants(interval=window, ism_interval=window.resize(256),
variant_scorers=[variant_scorers.CenterMaskScorer(
requested_output=dna_client.OutputType.DNASE, width=501,
aggregation_type=variant_scorers.AggregationType.DIFF_MEAN)])Supported windows: 16 kb, 100 kb, 500 kb, 1 Mb (2**14 to 2**20); 1 Mb is
the recommended default for full context; the recommended contact-map scorer
uses a 1 Mb mask. Shorter windows lose distal sequence context. Ontology
terms are CURIEs (UBERON:0002048 lung, CL:0000084 T cell); discover them
with --list-tracks or model.output_metadata(...).concatenate(). Plotting,
gene annotation (GENCODE v46 Feather on GCS), splicing and haplotype recipes:
references/model-api.md.
Reading the numbers
Always report raw score and quantile or Phred, with the scorer, track,
biosample CURIE, and gene. raw_score is the effect size on the scorer's scale
(RNA_SEQ is ln(mean ALT + 0.001) - ln(mean REF + 0.001):
-1 is about 0.37x the pseudocount-adjusted REF signal). quantile_score ranks against
common variants: signed scorers use [-1, 1], unsigned scorers [0, 1],
with finite calibration limits near 1. AVI instead uses a genome-wide SNV CDF.
A quantile above 0.99 with |raw| < 0.1 can reflect a narrow background in a quiet region; inspect REF/ALT tracks and
report the small predicted change without declaring biological absence of effect.
Raw-score thresholds are scorer-specific; quantiles are ranks, not p-values. Unsigned
scorers (SPLICE_*, POLYADENYLATION, CONTACT_MAPS, *_ACTIVE) have no
direction. "AlphaGenome predicts no appreciable change in the queried tracks"
is a complete answer, and a variant inside a peak whose REF and ALT tracks are
identical is not "disrupting" anything. Full rules, tissue matching, and the
reporting checklist: references/interpretation.md.
Model limitations include trans effects, poorly represented non-polyadenylated RNAs (training includes both poly(A)+ and total RNA tracks), absent cell types, and protein-level consequences (AlphaMissense is folded into AVI for that), RNA structure and miRNA biology, diploid dosage, developmental time, species other than human and mouse.
Limits, quota, terms
Atlas: GRCh38 SNVs only for now; indels were scored for the paper and are promised later. Reference
Nbases were never scored.Quotas are per key and unpublished; the Atlas is documented as having a larger query rate than on-demand prediction. Transient
RESOURCE_EXHAUSTEDandUNAVAILABLEare retried. Atlas also retriesDEADLINE_EXCEEDED(up to 5 attempts, 60 s call deadline); model streaming RPCs use a separate retry policy.--timeoutcontrols channel setup only, not total query time.Access tiers (Atlas report): AVI scores are also a permissively licensed Tabix download at https://alphagenome.google/downloads; feature attributions and splicing scores are non-commercial downloads; all other raw track scores are API-only and non-commercial. Commercial Atlas access is announced as coming soon; the base model is already available through Google Cloud Model Garden. See the current official FAQ.

"""Score variants on demand with the AlphaGenome model API (human or mouse).
Use this when a variant is not in the Atlas (indels, mouse, non-reference
REF alleles, a haplotype background) or when you need a scorer configuration
the Atlas did not precompute. For hg38 SNVs, ``atlas_query.py`` is faster and
has a larger quota.
Each variant is scored inside a window centred on it (default 1 Mb, the
model's full context) with the recommended scorers, and the result is the
official tidy long table: one row per variant x scorer x track (x gene).

Requirements and compatibility
Works with: Claude Code, Claude apps, OpenAI Codex, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Kiro, OpenCode, Goose, Amp, Roo Code, JetBrains Junie, Factory Droid, Devin (ex-Windsurf), Mistral Vibe, OpenHands, Letta
“Works with” means the tool reads the open Agent Skills format; a skill written for one tool may use features others lack.
Needs: Declares allowed tools, Needs network access, Needs an API key, Needs Python
The author says: Python 3.10+ with the alphagenome package (0.9.0 or later for the Atlas client; brings numpy, pandas, anndata, grpcio). Network access to gdmscience.googleapis.com:443 and a free non-commercial AlphaGenome API key in ALPHAGENOME_API_KEY (ALPHA_GENOME_API_KEY also read). Human data is GRCh38 only; mouse is mm10 (model only).
Security
What our scanner noticed· Low risk
- Instructions that use the network
- Scripts that your agent may run
This skill includes scripts that your agent may run. Read them before you use it.
A static scan is not a guarantee. Skills are third-party content: review a skill before you let an agent use it.
