Tests whether two genomic interval sets overlap (colocalize) more than expected by chance using a permutation test against a structured-genome null model. Covers bedtools fisher (analytic 2x2 screen), bedtools shuffle + jaccard permutation, GAT (isochore/GC-conditioned simulation with FDR), regioneR (flexible permutation, randomizeRegions vs circularRandomizeRegions, localZScore), LOLA (universe-relative Fisher against a region database), and GREAT/rGREAT (regulatory-domain binomial + hypergeometric for ontology-from-regions). Stresses the universe/background choice, matched background, blacklist exclusion, and multiple-testing control. Use when asking whether peaks/regions are enriched at enhancers/TFBS/features, scoring region-set colocalization or region-set enrichment, comparing CNV/SV concordance, or turning an overlap count into a defensible p-value.

Quality control for IMC/MIBI data across pixel, channel, image, slide, and batch levels, covering Poisson-count SNR (cell-level Gaussian-mixture and empty-channel comparison), spillover-matrix QC (the three physical sources), drift and the missing EQ-bead analog, acquisition artifacts, and sample-of-origin batch effects. Use when deciding whether to keep or drop a channel, ROI, or slide, distinguishing a dim antibody from a failed one, reading a spillover matrix, or diagnosing batch-driven clustering before analysis.

Detects and removes contamination in genome assemblies via two disjoint workflows - foreign-sequence screening of a single-organism (eukaryote/isolate) assembly with NCBI FCS-GX (GenBank-submission-mandatory), FCS-adaptor, and BlobToolKit blob plots; and MAG/bin quality assessment with CheckM2 plus GUNC (chimerism) plus GTDB-Tk taxonomy, judged against MIMAG. Covers why CheckM2 alone is blind to disjoint-marker chimeras, the FCS-GX RAM wall, organelle/NUMT triage, strain heterogeneity, and the HGT-vs-contamination (tardigrade) trap. Use when screening an assembly for foreign contamination before GenBank submission, assessing MAG completeness/contamination/chimerism, deciding which contigs to remove, or distinguishing real HGT from contaminant contigs.

Covers why a metagenome is not a genome (uneven coverage, micro-diversity, strain collapse to consensus), differential-coverage binning, co-assembly vs per-sample, the rRNA-operon collapse that fails short-read MAGs, and strain resolution with inStrain.

Designs donor/repair templates for precise CRISPR knock-ins -- choosing the format (ssODN, long-ssDNA/Easi-CRISPR, dsDNA/plasmid, AAV6), sizing homology arms, placing the cut within ~10 bp of the edit, and adding a mandatory codon-checked blocking (PAM/seed) mutation so the edited allele is not re-cut. Frames the HDR-vs-NHEJ-vs-MMEJ pathway competition, the MMEJ (PITCh) and homology-independent (HITI/HMEJ) alternatives for post-mitotic cells, ssODN strand/asymmetry choice, phosphorothioate end-protection, and ranked HDR enhancers. Use when designing a donor for a point mutation, epitope/fluorophore tag, allele replacement, or knock-in, or when HDR efficiency is low. Guide design and base/prime editing are separate skills.

Covers the central trap that a wide query returns a precomputed zoom-level summary (by default the mean, which annihilates narrow peaks) not per-base data, when exact=True/values() is mandatory, the NaN-not-zero gap-handling fork, choosing mean vs max vs sum vs coverage by biological question, and the sorted-bedGraph plus chrom.sizes build requirement. Use when extracting signal at regions, computing mean signal per gene/peak, building a browser track from bedGraph, comparing tracks, or building TSS/gene-body metaprofiles.

Turns Hi-C/Micro-C FASTQ into a deduplicated, filtered .pairs file with pairtools and decides whether the library worked. Covers the bwa mem -SP5M / bwa-mem2 / chromap --preset hic alignment idiom (mates mapped as independent single-end reads), pairtools parse vs parse2 and the walks-policy choice (5unique pairwise vs all for Pore-C/Micro-C concatemers), pair-type classification (keep UU and rescued UC), dedup (PCR vs optical/by-tile), select by pair_type/MAPQ/distance, restriction-fragment handling (restrict, Arima dual-enzyme, Micro-C/DNase fragment-free), and allele-specific phasing (pairtools phase to two coolers). The library-QC decision uses % long-range cis as the one-number quality metric, trans as the noise floor, orientation balance as fragment-map-free dangling-end/self-circle QC, and % duplicates as a complexity proxy. Use when processing Hi-C/Micro-C/Omni-C reads into pairs, judging library quality, handling multi-enzyme or restriction-agnostic protocols, or generating allele-specific contacts.

Covers why a primary assembly is a haplotype mosaic that exists in no cell, partial-vs-full phasing (the .bp. vs .dip. filename convention), the purge-default trap on inbred samples, the --hom-cov coverage-estimate alarm, and verkko-vs-hifiasm for T2T.

Detects A/B chromatin compartments from balanced Hi-C contact matrices via eigenvector decomposition of the distance-normalized, Pearson-correlated cis matrix with cooltools (eigs_cis), then orients (phases) the compartment eigenvector against a GC or gene-density track so the active (A) sign is not arbitrary. Covers the eigenvector-is-a-choice problem (per-arm view_df to remove the centromere gradient; picking the eigenvector by max correlation with activity, not by eigenvalue), GC phasing with bioframe.frac_gc, resolution choice (100kb-1Mb), saddle plots and saddle_strength for compartmentalization strength, the cohesin-loss-strengthens-compartments result, subcompartments (SNIPER/Calder/dcHiC), and cross-condition compartment switching.

Rank and prioritize neoantigen/epitope candidates by likely T-cell response using NeoFox feature annotation, PRIME2.0, BigMHC-IM, the Łuksza/Balachandran fitness model (agretopicity + foreignness), and pVACtools tiering. Encodes the field's hard truths that immunogenicity is the least-solved layer (dedicated scores ~AUROC 0.6-0.7, modest PPV), that scores are valid only for RANKING within one patient (never absolute go/no-go or cross-patient), that DAI has anchor-inflation and WT-denominator traps, and that stacking weak correlated scores into one number is a red flag. Use when ordering a candidate list for a vaccine. Binding lives in mhc-binding-prediction; calling in neoantigen-prediction.
