SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

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

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides direct programmatic access to the UniProt protein database, enabling efficient retrieval and analysis of protein sequences, functional annotations, and identifier mappings.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Protein Search: Find proteins by name, gene, accession, or organism.
  • Sequence Retrieval: Download protein sequences in various formats (FASTA, etc.).
  • ID Mapping: Translate identifiers between UniProt and other biological databases.
  • Use Case: A researcher needs to find all human proteins associated with a specific gene (e.g., BRCA1) and retrieve their sequences and functional annotations for further analysis.

Quick Start

Use the uniprot-database skill to search for human insulin proteins and retrieve their FASTA sequences.
