What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides programmatic access to Ensembl data so users can quickly retrieve gene coordinates, sequences, variant annotations, and homology information without manual navigation of web pages.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Gene and ID lookup: Resolve gene symbols to Ensembl IDs and genomic coordinates with transcript and exon details.
  • Sequence retrieval: Fetch genomic, cDNA, or protein sequences by Ensembl ID or region.
  • Variant and region queries: Look up rsIDs and return variant annotations and overlapping genomic features.
  • Homology and cross-species comparison: Retrieve orthologs and paralogs across supported species.
  • Use Case: Retrieve BRCA2 genomic coordinates, list transcripts and exons, get the canonical protein sequence, and find mouse orthologs.

Quick Start

Ask the skill to look up BRCA2 gene coordinates in homo_sapiens and return transcripts and the protein sequence.
