db-ena

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides programmatic access to the European Nucleotide Archive (ENA), enabling users to retrieve DNA/RNA sequences, raw reads, and genome assemblies for bioinformatics and genomics pipelines.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Data Retrieval: Access nucleotide sequences, raw reads (FASTQ), and genome assemblies by accession number.
• Metadata Search: Query studies, samples, and experiments using metadata criteria.
• API Integration: Supports ENA Portal API, Browser API, and Taxonomy REST API for flexible data access.
• Use Case: Retrieve all raw sequencing reads (FASTQ files) for a specific ENA run accession to analyze microbial genomes.

Quick Start

Use the db-ena skill to find all samples associated with the ENA study accession PRJEB1234.
