What biological file formats does this skill support?

It supports a wide range of formats including FASTA, GenBank, FASTQ, PDB, mmCIF, Newick, and more for both reading and writing operations.

How are NCBI rate limits handled?

The skill follows best practices by requiring an email address and supporting API keys to increase request limits from 3 to 10 requests per second.

Can I use this for real-time NCBI database searches?

Yes, it uses the Entrez module to programmatically search and fetch data from PubMed, GenBank, and other NCBI databases directly within your workflow.

Can I perform phylogenetic analysis with this skill?

Absolutely. It includes the Bio.Phylo and TreeConstruction modules for reading, writing, building, and visualizing phylogenetic trees.

Does it support structural biology analysis?

Yes, the Bio.PDB module allows for parsing, navigating, and performing calculations like distance and RMSD on 3D protein structures.
