What biological file formats can this skill parse?

It handles a wide range of formats including FASTA, GenBank, FASTQ, PDB, mmCIF, Newick, NEXUS, and Clustal.

Does this skill support local BLAST searches?

Yes, the skill provides patterns for both running BLAST searches via NCBI's web services and executing local BLAST searches using command-line tools.

Can it be used for structural protein analysis?

Yes, it includes specialized documentation for the Bio.PDB module to calculate distances, angles, and perform structure superimpositions/RMSD calculations.

How does it handle NCBI API rate limits?

It implements best practices for Bio.Entrez, including setting required email headers and using API keys to increase rate limits from 3 to 10 requests per second.

Are there dependencies required to use this skill?

The skill assumes the presence of Biopython and NumPy, which can be installed via standard Python package managers like pip or uv.
