What problem does it solve?
gget removes the friction of hopping across many separate bioinformatics websites and APIs by giving you one consistent way to search genes, retrieve sequences, inspect protein structures, analyze expression, and explore disease or drug associations.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Gene discovery and annotation: search gene names, fetch Ensembl, UniProt, and NCBI metadata, and retrieve nucleotide or protein sequences.
- Sequence, structure, and motif analysis: run BLAST, BLAT, MUSCLE, DIAMOND, PDB lookups, AlphaFold predictions, and ELM motif scans.
- Expression and disease workflows: query ARCHS4, CELLxGENE, Bgee, Enrichr, OpenTargets, cBioPortal, COSMIC, viral datasets, and mouse specificity data.
- Use case: a researcher can start with a gene symbol, expand to orthologs and sequences, check tissue expression, test disease links, and compile results into CSV or FASTA outputs for downstream analysis.
Quick Start
Use the gget skill to analyze the gene or sequence you provide, then return the most relevant database results, sequences, expression signals, and disease associations for your target organism.
