alterlab-bioservices
From the author
Query 40+ bioinformatics web services through one consistent Python API with bioservices (UniProt, KEGG, ChEMBL, Reactome, Ensembl, NCBI and more). Use when a workflow must hit multiple databases together, map identifiers across services, or run cross-database analyses — for quick single-database lookups use gget, for sequence and file manipulation use biopython. Part of the AlterLab Academic Skills suite.

- bioservices-multi-databasejaechang-hits/SciAgent-SkillsUnified Python interface to 40+ bioinformatics web services: UniProt proteins, KEGG pathways, ChEMBL/ChEBI/PubChem, BLAST, cross-database ID mapping, GO annotations, PPI. For deep single-DB queries use dedicated tools (gget for Ensembl, pubchempy for PubChem); bioservices excels at cross-database workflows.Data★ 383
- bioservicesK-Dense-AI/scientific-agent-skillsProvides a Python interface to bioinformatics services including UniProt, KEGG, ChEMBL, Reactome, QuickGO, and UniChem. Used for cross-database protein annotation, pathway retrieval, chemical identifier mapping, and integrated biological data workflows with BioServices.Data★ 54.5K
- alterlab-ggetAlterLab-IEU/AlterLab-Academic-SkillsRun fast one-liner queries to 20+ bioinformatics databases from the gget CLI or Python — gene info (Ensembl), BLAST, AlphaFold structures, Enrichr enrichment, and more. Use for quick interactive lookups of genes, sequences, structures, or pathways — for batch processing or advanced BLAST use biopython, for multi-database Python workflows use bioservices. Part of the AlterLab Academic Skills suite.Data★ 78
- ggetK-Dense-AI/scientific-agent-skillsQueries 20+ bioinformatics resources through CLI/Python. Supports quick lookups of gene info, BLAST/BLAT, viral sequence downloads, PDB/mmCIF structures, G2P residue annotations, enrichment analysis, OpenTargets, COSMIC, CELLxGENE, and 8cube mouse specificity/expression data. Best for interactive exploration and simple queries. For batch processing or advanced BLAST use biopython; for multi-database Python workflows use bioservices.Data★ 54.5K
- alterlab-biopythonAlterLab-IEU/AlterLab-Academic-SkillsManipulate biological sequences, parse FASTA/GenBank/PDB files, run phylogenetics, and access NCBI/PubMed programmatically via Biopython (Bio.SeqIO, Bio.Entrez, Bio.PDB, Bio.Blast). Use when scripting custom bioinformatics pipelines, batch-processing sequence files, automating BLAST, or fetching records from Entrez — for quick one-off database lookups use gget, for unified multi-service integration use bioservices. Part of the AlterLab Academic Skills suite.Data★ 78
- alterlab-keggAlterLab-IEU/AlterLab-Academic-SkillsProvide direct REST API access to KEGG (academic use only) for pathway analysis, gene-to-pathway and compound-to-pathway mapping, metabolic reactions, KEGG Orthology (KO), drug-drug interactions, and ID conversion. Use when querying KEGG pathways, mapping genes/compounds to metabolic maps, or running KEGG pathway enrichment via raw HTTP/REST; for protein-protein interaction networks prefer alterlab-string-db, for protein sequences and annotations prefer alterlab-uniprot, and for Python workflows spanning many databases prefer alterlab-bioservices instead.
