ENA Genomics Data Access

关于

This skill enables Claude to interact with the European Nucleotide Archive (ENA), a primary global repository for nucleotide sequencing data. It provides specialized guidance for querying the ENA Portal and Browser APIs to retrieve DNA/RNA sequences, raw sequencing reads (FASTQ), and genome assemblies. Ideal for bioinformaticians and researchers, the skill facilitates searching by metadata, navigating taxonomic records, and integrating public genomics datasets directly into analysis pipelines while adhering to API rate limits and best practices for data citation.

主要功能

• Query DNA/RNA sequences and raw reads by accession or metadata criteria
• Retrieve genome assemblies and functional annotations via REST APIs
• 324 GitHub stars
• Navigate taxonomic information and cross-reference related databases
• Support for multiple formats including FASTQ, FASTA, XML, and JSON
• Access hierarchical data structures including studies, samples, experiments, and runs

使用场景

• Searching for and downloading genome assemblies based on specific taxonomic criteria
• Extracting metadata and study summaries for large-scale genomic data mining
• Automating the retrieval of raw sequencing reads for bioinformatics pipelines
