AI AGENT ADDONS

Retrieve protein and nucleotide sequences from NCBI databases quickly and easily. This skill lets you look up sequences by accession number, gene name, PubMed ID, or patent number. It is designed for researchers, students, and anyone working with biological data.

The tool has ten different subcommands. You can fetch a protein directly, get a nucleotide record, translate a coding sequence, or search for genes by organism. It also links PubMed articles to their related proteins and extracts sequences from patents. Each command prints a clear summary and can save the output as JSON.

You need to install uv and optionally add an NCBI API key for faster queries. The key is stored safely in your environment file. All requests go through a helper script that follows NCBI's rate limits automatically.
