Can I search for genes across different species?

Yes, the skill supports organism-specific searches using taxonomic names or IDs to ensure precise results across diverse species like humans, mice, or fruit flies.

How does the skill handle large gene lists?

The skill includes a dedicated batch lookup script designed to handle multiple gene queries efficiently while automatically managing API rate limits.

Does this skill require an NCBI API key?

While optional, using a free NCBI API key is recommended as it increases rate limits from 3-5 requests to 10 requests per second, allowing for faster data retrieval.

What data formats can I retrieve?

You can retrieve gene information in several formats including JSON for programmatic processing, XML for hierarchical metadata, and FASTA or GenBank for sequence analysis.

データサイエンスとML

Queries the NCBI Gene database to retrieve comprehensive genetic information, including sequences, functional annotations, and biological pathways.

概要

This skill empowers Claude to interact directly with NCBI's E-utilities and Datasets APIs, facilitating the deep exploration of genomic data across diverse species. It enables users to perform complex searches by gene symbol or ID, retrieve detailed metadata such as RefSeqs and Gene Ontology annotations, and execute batch lookups for high-throughput analysis. Whether you are conducting functional gene analysis, mapping chromosomal locations, or building annotation tables, this tool provides the necessary scripts and patterns to integrate official biological data into your development or research workflow seamlessly.
