Bio Comparative Genomics Hgt Detection

biotender-max/bio-comparative-genomics-hgt-detection

Detect horizontal gene transfer (HGT / LGT) using compositional methods (GC%, codon usage, tetranucleotide z-scores via SIGI-HMM, AlienHunter, IslandViewer 4, IslandPath-DIMOB), phylogenetic-incongruence methods (AvP, HGTphyloDetect, ALE / GeneRax / AleRax reconciliation, RANGER-DTL), and BLAST-distribution methods (HGTector v2, DarkHorse, Alien Index). Use when screening prokaryote genomes for genomic islands and HGT events, distinguishing HGT from incomplete lineage sorting / differential gene loss / hybridization, mapping donor lineages via phylogenetic placement, separating eukaryotic HGT from contamination, ruling out gBGC as a false signal, or quantifying DTL rates with ALE/GeneRax on bacterial trees.

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take biotender-max/bio-comparative-genomics-hgt-detection from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.

Install what it needs

The instructions reference pip. Without those the skill loads but fails at the first command.
