How does semantic search differ from standard database searching?

Semantic search understands the context and meaning behind your query, allowing you to find relevant drug-disease data even if you don't use the exact technical terminology found in the database.

Can I use this skill to find genetic evidence for diseases?

Yes, the skill can specifically search for genetic associations, including loss-of-function variants and their protective or pathogenic effects.

Does this skill require an external API key?

Yes, it requires a Valyu API key. You can sign up at platform.valyu.ai to receive $10 in free credits to start searching.
