gget

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.

From the SKILL.md

# gget ## Overview gget is a command-line bioinformatics tool and Python package providing unified access to 20+ genomic databases and analysis methods. Query gene information, sequence analysis, protein structures, expression data, and disease associations through a consistent interface. All gget modules work both as command-line tools and as Python functions. **Important**: The databases queried by gget are continuously updated, which sometimes changes their structure. gget modules are tested automatically on a biweekly basis and updated to match new database structures when necessary. ## Installation Install gget in a clean virtual environment to avoid conflicts: ```bash # Using uv (recommended) uv uv pip install gget # Or using pip uv pip install --upgrade gget # In Python/Jupyter import gget ``` ## Quick Start Basic usage pattern for all modules: ```bash # Command-line gget <module> [arguments] [options] # Python gget.module(arguments, options) ``` Most modules return: - **Command-line**: JSON (default) or CSV with `-csv` flag - **Python**: DataFrame or dictionary Common flags across modules: - `-o/--out`: Save results to file - `-q/--quiet`: Suppress progress information - `-

About this skill
What does the gget skill do?

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.

How do I install it?

Run `npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill gget-aiskillstore-marketplace-2 --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.

Where does this skill come from?

From majiayu000/claude-skill-registry, a repository with 534 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.

Is a popular skill a good skill?

Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
