Do I need an account to use this skill?

Yes, COSMIC requires registration for data access. Academic users can register for free at the COSMIC website, while commercial users require a license from QIAGEN.

Can I automate the filtering of mutations by gene name?

Yes, the skill provides patterns for using Python and pandas to filter downloaded mutation sets by gene name, primary site, or specific cancer roles.

Does this skill provide drug resistance data?

Yes, it allows you to specifically download and query the CosmicResistanceMutations dataset which includes clinical annotations for drug resistance.

Which genome assemblies are supported by this skill?

The skill supports both the current standard GRCh38 assembly and the legacy GRCh37 reference genome for historical data comparisons.

What data formats are available for download?

The skill retrieves data in standard bioinformatics formats including TSV, CSV, and VCF, making it compatible with tools like pandas, pysam, and GATK.
