ensembl-database

Retrieve genomic sequences from the Ensembl REST API by querying gene symbols or IDs. The skill facilitates sequence retrieval and cross-references for over 250 species, returning raw sequence data for bioinformatics pipelines without manual web browsing.

Yes, you can analyze genetic variants and predict functional consequences using VEP. The skill accesses the Ensembl REST API to perform variant analysis, evaluate functional impacts, and retrieve population data programmatically for genomic research.

Find orthologs and paralogs for comparative genomics by querying the Ensembl database through this skill. It identifies evolutionary relationships across 250+ species to support comparative genomics research and programmatic integration into pipelines.

Yes, the Ensembl REST API supports coordinate mapping between genome assemblies. This skill facilitates coordinate mapping alongside gene lookups and variant analysis, enabling programmatic integration into bioinformatics pipelines for genomic research.

Look up genes in specific chromosomal regions by querying the Ensembl REST API. The skill facilitates gene lookups using genomic coordinates, such as human region 7:140424943-140624564, to retrieve associated genes and protein sequences.

Yes, you need the ensembl_rest library and requests library installed. These dependencies allow the skill to access the Ensembl REST API for genomic research, sequence retrieval, and variant analysis across multiple species.
