SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill simplifies complex bioinformatics data retrieval and analysis by providing a single, consistent Python interface to over 40 different web services and databases.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Multi-Database Queries: Seamlessly query UniProt, KEGG, ChEMBL, Reactome, and more within a single workflow.
  • Identifier Mapping: Convert IDs between various biological databases (e.g., UniProt to KEGG).
  • Sequence Analysis: Perform BLAST searches and retrieve protein sequences.
  • Pathway Analysis: Discover and analyze metabolic pathways and protein interactions.
  • Use Case: A researcher needs to find all proteins interacting with a specific gene, map their IDs across databases, and identify associated metabolic pathways. This Skill can automate that entire process.

Quick Start

Use the bioservices skill to find pathways associated with the human gene ZAP70.
