SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

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

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a unified Python interface to over 40 bioinformatics web services, simplifying complex data retrieval and analysis across multiple specialized databases.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Cross-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, KEGG to ChEMBL).
  • Sequence Analysis: Perform BLAST searches and retrieve protein sequences.
  • Pathway Discovery: Analyze metabolic pathways and gene functions.
  • Use Case: You need to find all known protein-protein interactions for a specific human protein, identify its associated KEGG pathways, and retrieve its Gene Ontology annotations. This Skill orchestrates calls to PSICQUIC, KEGG, and QuickGO to achieve this.

Quick Start

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