comparative-genomics-whole-genome-alignment

comparative-genomics-whole-genome-alignment is a Bioinformatics & life sciences skill for AI agents, published by swaruplab in the operon repository on GitHub. Skillspace rates comparative-genomics-whole-genome-alignment C (79/100) and it passed the safety scan; the rating is based on static analysis only.

Build whole-genome alignments using Progressive Cactus (Armstrong 2020 reference-free clade-level WGA), Minigraph-Cactus (Hickey 2024 pangenome-aware), LASTZ chain/net (UCSC pipeline), MUMmer4 (Marçais 2018 pairwise), minimap2 -x asm5/10/20 (Li 2018 fast pairwise), AnchorWave (Song 2022 WGD-aware), and Mauve / progressiveMauve (bacterial). Operates the HAL toolkit (Hickey 2013) for downstream extraction including halSynteny, halLiftover, halBranchMutations, and hal2maf. Use when constructing multi-species alignments for comparative-annotation projection (TOGA), synteny detection, conservation analyses (phyloP / PhastCons), or pangenome graph construction; selecting between reference-free (Cactus) and reference-anchored (LASTZ chains/nets) approaches; tuning sensitivity for closely vs distantly related genomes; or producing HAL files for genome-wide downstream tools.

Unproven: rated by static analysis only, not yet compared head-to-head.

Not launch-quality. It is graded C with a clean safety verdict, but our quality filters exclude it: it is a near-duplicate variant of another skill. So it is not in our launch-quality set, the skills our MCP server searches and recommends. How launch-quality is decided
