What is the ENA Database skill for Claude Code?

It is a specialized capability that allows Claude to search, identify, and retrieve genomic data, sequences, and metadata from the European Nucleotide Archive (ENA).

Does this skill support metadata searches?

Yes, it utilizes the ENA Portal API to perform complex queries across studies, samples, experiments, and runs based on specific metadata criteria.

Can I download large FASTQ files using this skill?

The skill provides the necessary API logic to locate file URLs and metadata; for actual file transfers of large datasets, it facilitates the use of FTP or Aspera.

Are there rate limits when using the ENA API?

Yes, ENA APIs have a rate limit of 50 requests per second. This skill includes guidance on implementing exponential backoff and batching to remain compliant.

数据科学与机器学习

Accesses and retrieves nucleotide sequence data, raw reads, and genome assemblies from the European Nucleotide Archive (ENA).

关于

The ENA Database skill provides a robust interface for Claude to interact with the European Nucleotide Archive, a premier global repository for genomic information. It enables the programmatic retrieval of DNA/RNA sequences, raw sequencing reads (FASTQ), and comprehensive genome assemblies using accession numbers or complex metadata criteria. This skill is essential for bioinformaticians and researchers who need to automate data collection, query taxonomic information, or integrate public genomic datasets directly into analysis pipelines while adhering to ENA's API rate limits and best practices.
