gget

SUMMARY

What it does

This skill provides a unified command-line and Python interface to query over 20 bioinformatics databases, including gene information, sequence alignment (BLAST/BLAT), viral sequences, protein structures (AlphaFold), enrichment analysis, disease and drug associations (OpenTargets), cancer mutations (COSMIC), single-cell expression (CELLxGENE), and mouse specificity/expression data (8cube). It is designed for interactive exploration and simple queries, with modules for reference data, sequence analysis, structural analysis, expression and disease data, viral and mouse specificity, and additional utilities. The skill requires Python >=3.8 and gget 0.30.5-compatible APIs, and some modules require one-time setup. It is best used for quick lookups and small-scale analyses; for batch processing or advanced BLAST, biopython is recommended, and for multi-database Python workflows, bioservices is suggested.
