dbsnp-database

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides programmatic access to NCBI dbSNP, enabling users to retrieve detailed information about genetic variants (SNPs, indels, MNVs) by rsID, gene, or genomic region.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Variant Information Retrieval: Fetch allele frequencies, variant class, clinical significance links, and cross-database IDs for specific variants.
• Gene and Region Searching: Identify all dbSNP variants within a given gene or chromosomal region.
• Batch Processing: Efficiently query large numbers of rsIDs using EPost and EFetch.
• Use Case: You have a list of rsIDs from a sequencing experiment and need to quickly find their minor allele frequencies and any associated clinical significance to prioritize variants for further study.

Quick Start

Use the dbsnp-database skill to fetch information for rsID 'rs80357906'.
