How are NCBI rate limits managed?

The skill provides patterns for setting Entrez.email and using API keys to respect NCBI's usage policies while maximizing data retrieval speeds.

Can I use this skill to automate PubMed searches?

Yes, it utilizes the Bio.Entrez module to programmatically search, fetch, and parse publication data from PubMed and other NCBI databases.

Does it support 3D protein structure analysis?

Absolutely. It includes comprehensive tools for parsing PDB files, navigating the SMCRA structure hierarchy, and calculating distances or angles between atoms.

What biological file formats can this skill handle?

This skill supports a vast range of formats including FASTA, GenBank, FASTQ, PDB, mmCIF, Newick, and NEXUS for sequence, structural, and phylogenetic data processing.
