SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Researchers and analysts often need to enrich gene or protein lists with authoritative annotations from many dispersed biomedical resources to interpret experimental results quickly and accurately; this Skill consolidates those lookups into a single, programmatic interface.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Unified access to 49 biomedical data sources including UniProt, AlphaFold, STRING, Reactome, GO, PanglaoDB, Europe PMC, and OpenTargets.
  • Common tasks covered: protein function lookup, pathway membership, GO term retrieval, cell type marker validation, literature search, and drug–disease association queries.
  • Batch and programmatic workflows: supports species and identifier normalization, GraphQL queries for OpenTargets, and guidance for rate-limited batch annotation of DEG lists.
  • Troubleshooting & guidance for timeouts, species codes, and query formats to reduce common integration issues.

Quick Start

Ask the skill to annotate my top 20 differentially expressed genes with UniProt functions, Reactome pathways, GO terms, and PanglaoDB markers for Homo sapiens.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I annotate a list of differentially expressed genes with pathway and protein information?

To annotate a list of differentially expressed genes, you can batch query UniProt functions, Reactome pathways, GO terms, and PanglaoDB markers. The Skill normalizes species and identifiers while applying rate-limit aware external API calls to retrieve integrated biomedical annotations.

Can I validate cell type markers using PanglaoDB for mouse datasets?

Yes, you can validate cell type markers using PanglaoDB for mouse datasets. The Skill supports marker validation across human, mouse, zebrafish, and rat datasets by querying PanglaoDB alongside other integrated biomedical knowledge sources.

Does this Skill support OpenTargets GraphQL queries for drug-disease associations?

Yes, this Skill supports OpenTargets GraphQL queries for drug-disease association exploration. It integrates OpenTargets data access to help researchers retrieve target associations and explore drug-disease relationships programmatically.

How do I perform batch annotation of gene lists without hitting external API timeouts?

To perform batch annotation without hitting external API timeouts, the Skill provides rate-limit aware external API calls and troubleshooting guidance for query formats. It supports batch annotation workflows to enrich DEG lists while managing integration issues across 49 biomedical data sources.

What's the best way to retrieve protein structures and literature for a specific gene?

The best way to retrieve protein structures and literature for a specific gene is to query AlphaFold for structures and Europe PMC for literature within a single workflow. The Skill unifies access to these resources to consolidate protein function lookup and literature retrieval.

Why are my species codes causing errors during gene annotation?

Species codes causing errors during gene annotation often result from unnormalized identifiers or incorrect query formats. The Skill provides species and identifier normalization along with troubleshooting guidance for species codes, timeouts, and query formats to reduce common integration issues.
