gget

Name: gget
Author: K-Dense-AI

Fast CLI/Python queries to 20+ bioinformatics databases. Use for quick lookups: gene info, BLAST searches, AlphaFold structures, enrichment analysis. Best for interactive exploration, simple queries. For batch processing or advanced BLAST use biopython; for multi-database Python workflows use bioservices.

Related Skills

biopython

Comprehensive molecular biology toolkit. Use for sequence manipulation, file parsing (FASTA/GenBank/PDB), phylogenetics, and programmatic NCBI/PubMed access (Bio.Entrez). Best for batch processing, custom bioinformatics pipelines, BLAST automation. For quick lookups use gget; for multi-service integration use bioservices.

bioservices

Unified Python interface to 40+ bioinformatics services. Use when querying multiple databases (UniProt, KEGG, ChEMBL, Reactome) in a single workflow with consistent API. Best for cross-database analysis, ID mapping across services. For quick single-database lookups use gget; for sequence/file manipulation use biopython.
