Query the QuickGO and Evidence & Conclusion Ontology (ECO) REST API. Use this when you need to map genes to biological processes, molecular functions, or cellular components, find genes associated with a specific pathway/GO term, or explore the Gene Ontology hierarchy. Do not use for querying drug targets (use OpenTargets) or mechanistic signaling pathway diagrams (use KEGG).
Prioritize drug targets from a ranked gene list (e.g., scRNA-seq DE output) by orchestrating parallel API queries against UniProt, OpenTargets (with integrated DepMap CRISPR essentiality + gnomAD constraint), PubMed, the Human Protein Atlas (HPA), and ChEMBL tool compounds, then re-ranking by a composite score combining protein localization, druggability, disease genetics, tissue specificity (safety), focus-cell-type expression, CRISPR essentiality, LoF safety constraint, and research maturity. Use whenever the user wants to filter, triage, prioritize, or "do due diligence" on a list of candidate genes for drug discovery, especially after a DE / DEG analysis when they say things like "which of these should I follow up on", "filter for druggable targets", "make a target dossier", "rank these for tractability", "annotate these genes for druggability", or "build a target report". Trigger even when the user says just "filter these candidate genes" or hands over a CSV from a DE pipeline.
Direct REST API access to UniProt. Protein searches, FASTA retrieval, ID mapping, Swiss-Prot/TrEMBL. For Python workflows with multiple databases, prefer bioservices (unified interface to 40+ services). Use this for direct HTTP/REST work or UniProt-specific control.
Access COSMIC cancer mutation database. Query somatic mutations, Cancer Gene Census, mutational signatures, gene fusions, for cancer research and precision oncology. Requires authentication.
Identify domains, families, and sites in proteins; find all proteins in a family or sharing a domain; explore species distribution for a domain; annotate genomes with protein families and GO terms. InterPro combines 14 databases (e.g., Pfam, CDD) into one searchable resource. InterPro-N significantly expands annotation and sequence coverage with deep learning. Includes domain architecture (IDA) search.
OpenBio API for biological data access and computational biology tools. Use when: (1) Querying biological databases (PDB, UniProt, ChEMBL, etc.), (2) Searching scientific literature (PubMed, bioRxiv, arXiv), (3) Running structure prediction (Boltz, Chai, ProteinMPNN), (4) Performing pathway/enrichment analysis, (5) Designing molecular biology experiments (primers, cloning), (6) Analyzing variants and clinical data.
Integrate structural biology data with proteomics for drug target validation. Retrieves protein structures from PDB (RCSB, PDBe), AlphaFold predictions, antibody structures (SAbDab), GPCR data (GPCRdb), binding pocket analysis (ProteinsPlus), and ligand interactions (BindingDB). Use when asked to find structures for a drug target, identify binding site ligands, cross-validate drug binding with structural data, assess structural druggability, or compare experimental vs predicted structures.
Visualize, analyze, and render protein and molecular structures using PyMOL. Use when the user wants to create images of protein structures, perform structural alignments or superposition, measure distances or contacts, highlight binding sites or active site residues, color by B-factor/pLDDT, or analyze protein-ligand interactions. Do not use for docking, molecular dynamics, or sequence-only analysis.
Query the Cancer Dependency Map (DepMap) for cancer cell line gene dependency scores (CRISPR Chronos), drug sensitivity data, and gene effect profiles. Use for identifying cancer-specific vulnerabilities, synthetic lethal interactions, and validating oncology drug targets.
Direct REST API access to KEGG (academic use only). Pathway analysis, gene-pathway mapping, metabolic pathways, drug interactions, ID conversion. For Python workflows with multiple databases, prefer bioservices. Use this for direct HTTP/REST work or KEGG-specific control.
Runs local BLAT searches for DNA sequence alignment against hg38 or CHM13 using local .2bit references. Use when a user wants to align a DNA sequence without relying on UCSC API access.
Retrieve protein and nucleotide sequences from NCBI databases using E-utilities. Supports direct accession lookup, CDS translation, gene+organism search, locus lookup, PubMed-linked sequences, patent protein extraction, and organism+length fallback search. Use when you need to fetch biological sequences by accession, gene name, locus tag, PubMed ID, or patent number.
