AlterLab-IEU/AlterLab-Academic-SkillsSkill
Infer gene regulatory networks (GRNs) from expression matrices using arboreto's scalable GRNBoost2 and GENIE3 tree-ensemble algorithms with Dask-distributed computation. Use when analyzing bulk or single-cell RNA-seq transcriptomics to map transcription-factor-to-target-gene regulatory interactions, build adjacency networks, or run the GRN-inference step of a SCENIC pipeline on large datasets. Part of the AlterLab Academic Skills suite.
Why this score
This repo hosts 10 skills, so its 76 stars are split between them (about 8 each) for scoring.
Popularity score: 55/100 from public GitHub signals only. It shows how widely used and maintained this is, not how well it works. Not included yet: the fake-star check. The security scan is shown separately and doesn't change the score. How we rank
Security
Scanned Oct 20, 2026 at commit e4836c08a20d, with Cisco's open-source skill-scanner.
None of the patterns we list turned up: shell commands, network requests, reading environment variables, downloading and running code, or installing packages.
A scan lists patterns in the code. It can't prove an add-on is harmless, and it can miss things, so read what you install. How we scan
