SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Enables AI agents to locate and query data across 78 public biomedical and related databases via REST APIs, returning raw JSON results along with reference endpoints for reproducibility and verification.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Cross-database querying: identify relevant databases for a given biological question and fetch raw results with endpoints listed.
  • Reference-backed results: accompany responses with corresponding references and endpoints to facilitate auditability and deeper dives.
  • Use cases: look up PubChem CID for a compound, retrieve NCBI Gene details, fetch Open Targets target-disease associations, or pull COSMIC mutation data for cancer studies.

Quick Start

Look up TP53 in NCBI Gene and retrieve its basic gene information.
