name: chargaff-second-parity
description: >
  Tests Chargaff's second parity rule (A≈T and G≈C within each single strand)
  across a 12-genome panel spanning dsDNA bacteria, archaea, a eukaryotic chromosome,
  organelles, ssDNA viruses (key negative control), and a dsRNA virus. Fetches
  hardcoded NCBI RefSeq accessions, counts single-strand base composition, computes
  AT and GC deviations, and verifies that dsDNA genomes obey the rule while ssDNA
  viruses violate it. Triggers: Chargaff parity, intra-strand parity, base composition,
  strand symmetry, ssDNA virus composition, AT GC balance single strand.
allowed-tools: Bash(python3 *), Bash(mkdir *), Bash(cat *), Bash(echo *)

## Overview

Chargaff's first rule (A=T, G=C in total double-stranded DNA) follows from Watson-Crick
base pairing. His **second parity rule** is subtler: even on a **single strand**, A≈T
and G≈C individually. This emerges from symmetric mutation pressure: point mutations
affect both strands equally, so long-range strand-average composition converges.

The key falsifiable prediction is that **ssDNA viruses violate the rule** — they
replicate asymmetrically through single-stranded intermediates, so one strand
accumulates different mutational biases than the other. Organelles also show
intermediate-to-high deviation due to asymmetric replication origins.

**Panel:** 12 hardcoded NCBI RefSeq accessions — 7 dsDNA (bacteria + archaea +
one yeast chromosome), 2 organelles, 2 ssDNA viruses, 1 dsRNA virus.

**Verification:** asserts mean dsDNA deviation < 1.0% AND mean ssDNA deviation > 3.0%,
then prints `chargaff_parity_verified`.

"""
Compute per-genome base composition and Chargaff's second parity deviation.

For each genome (positive/reported strand only):
  - Count A, T, G, C (skip ambiguous bases N, R, Y, etc.)
  - Compute %A, %T, %G, %C
  - AT deviation = |%A - %T|
  - GC deviation = |%G - %C|
  - Chargaff-2 score = (AT_dev + GC_dev) / 2

Group comparison:
  - dsDNA (bacteria + archaea + eukaryote): should have low deviations
  - organelle: intermediate (known strand asymmetry)
  - ssDNA_virus: should have high deviations (negative control)
  - dsRNA_virus: likely high (only one strand in RefSeq)

## Notes / Limitations

- **Single-strand analysis depends on the RefSeq reported strand.** For ssDNA viruses,
  RefSeq deposits the plus (coding) strand by convention, which inherently lacks a
  complementary strand — this is precisely what the test exploits.
- **Human mitochondria is a known outlier** among "organelles": its extremely high score
  (~12.2%) reflects strong strand compositional asymmetry driven by the asymmetric
  D-loop replication mechanism, not error.
- **Small panel (n=12).** The 7 vs. 2 dsDNA/ssDNA comparison uses mean-threshold
  assertions rather than p-values. With n=2 ssDNA genomes there is no statistical power
  for hypothesis testing; the result is directionally clear but not statistically robust.
- **AAV-2 scores lower (~2.58%) than B19 (~5.20%)** because its genome has an unusual
  inverted terminal repeat structure that partially symmetrises single-strand composition.
- **dsRNA virus (IBDV segment A) scores high (~4.38%)** because only the plus strand is
  deposited in RefSeq; the dsRNA genome is symmetric in bulk but the reported strand is not.
- **No ambiguous bases (N, R, Y, etc.) are counted.** A genome with high N-content will
  have slightly different total nucleotide counts than the annotated assembly length.
- **Large genomes (e.g., *P. aeruginosa* 6.3 Mb) take 60–90 s to download** on a
  standard internet connection. The total wall-clock time is 3–8 minutes.
