NCI-DTP-MolTarget

Query the NCI-60 Molecular Target (Protein) database from the Developmental Therapeutics Program. Use when the user asks about protein expression of drug targets across the NCI-60 cancer cell line panel, or wants to look up a gene, cell line, or cancer panel in the NCI DTP molecular target dataset.

# NCI DTP Molecular Target Query Skill Search NCI-60 protein-level molecular target data by any entity. Auto-detects type: | Input Pattern | Detected As | Match Logic | |---|---|---| | `EGFR`, `TP53` | gene / protein | exact on `GENE` or substring on `ENTITY_MEASURED`, `TITLE` | | `MCF7`, `NCI-H460` | cell line | substring on `cellname` | | `Breast`, `Leukemia` | cancer panel | substring on `pname` | | `12345` (pure digits) | MOLTID | exact on `MOLTID` (NCI pattern #) | ## Drug-Relevance Guide Only **protein expression data** is downloaded — proteins are the direct molecular targets of drugs (kinase inhibitors → kinase expression, antibodies → receptor levels). | Dataset | Download? | Reason | |---|---|---| | **WEB_DATA_PROTEIN.ZIP** | **YES** | Drug targets: protein expression across NCI-60 | | WEB_DATA_ALL_MT.ZIP | Optional | Superset incl. enzyme activity (also drug-relevant) | | WEB_DATA_DNA.ZIP | No | Genomic characterisation, not drug targets | | WEB_DATA_SEQUENOM_METHYLATION.ZIP | No | Epigenetic; indirect | | WEB_DATA_*_MIR.ZIP | No | microRNA regulation; indirect | | WEB_DATA_METABOLON*.ZIP | No | Metabolomics; downstream, indirect | | Microarray / SNP / CopyNum / Karyotyp

About this skill
What does the NCI-DTP-MolTarget skill do?

Query the NCI-60 Molecular Target (Protein) database from the Developmental Therapeutics Program. Use when the user asks about protein expression of drug targets across the NCI-60 cancer cell line panel, or wants to look up a gene, cell line, or cancer panel in the NCI DTP molecular target dataset.

How do I install it?

Run `npx skills add BioTender-max/awesome-bio-agent-skills --skill molecular_targets_data --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 BioTender-max/awesome-bio-agent-skills, a repository with 135 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.
