What biological data formats does this skill support?

The skill facilitates the retrieval of metadata in XML, JSON, and TSV, as well as biological data in FASTQ, FASTA, BAM/CRAM, and EMBL flat file formats.

Can I use this skill for bulk data downloads?

Yes, the skill provides implementation patterns for identifying accessions via the Portal API and then utilizing FTP or Aspera for high-speed bulk transfers.

Does the ENA API have rate limits?

Yes, ENA APIs generally have a limit of 50 requests per second. This skill includes best practices for exponential backoff and rate limit handling.

How do I search for sequences by organism?

You can use the integrated Taxonomy REST API or search the Portal API using taxonomic IDs or tree-based queries to find data for specific species.

数据科学与机器学习

Accesses and retrieves nucleotide sequences, raw reads, and genome assemblies from the European Nucleotide Archive for bioinformatics workflows.

关于

This skill empowers Claude to interact with the European Nucleotide Archive (ENA), a premier global repository for DNA and RNA sequence data. It provides standardized methods for querying the ENA Portal and Browser APIs, enabling researchers and developers to programmatically search for studies, samples, and sequencing runs. By streamlining the retrieval of FASTQ files, assemblies, and taxonomic metadata, this skill facilitates the direct integration of high-throughput sequencing data into bioinformatics pipelines and computational biology projects.
