Setup & Installation
Or with the ClawHub CLI, for registry-managed skill folders outside a full OpenClaw workspace:
Version History
- Added git as a required dependency for installation (now requires "git" alongside "python3" or "Rscript"). - Pinned to v3.0 of BioSkills
What This Skill Does
Meta-skill that installs 425 bioinformatics skills across 62 categories including sequence analysis, RNA-seq, single-cell, variant calling, metagenomics, and structural biology. Selective installation by category is supported.
Installs a curated, categorized collection of 425 ready-to-trigger skills at once rather than finding and installing individual bioinformatics tools manually.
When to use it
- Setting up a full bioinformatics environment in one command
- Installing only variant-calling and RNA-seq skills for a specific project
- Running differential expression analysis on treated vs control samples
- Clustering single-cell RNA-seq data and identifying marker genes
- Classifying taxa from shotgun metagenomic reads
Example Workflow
Here's how your AI assistant might use this skill in practice.
User asks: 'Install bioskills, then find differentially expressed genes from my RNA-seq counts'
- 1Run bash scripts/install-bioskills.sh to install all 425 skills
- 2Confirm installation across 62 categories
- 3Trigger the differential-expression skill with the provided counts matrix
- 4Run statistical analysis comparing treated vs control groups
- 5Return ranked list of differentially expressed genes with fold changes and p-values
Table of differentially expressed genes with log2 fold change, adjusted p-values, and expression direction
Requirements
Accounts, API keys, or tools you or your AI assistant may need to set up while using this skill.
