ENA REST API for sequences, reads, assemblies, and annotations. Portal API search, Browser API retrieval (XML/FASTA/EMBL), file reports for FASTQ/BAM URLs, taxonomy, cross-refs. For multi-DB Python use bioservices; for NCBI-only use pubmed-database or Biopython Entrez.

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'ena-database' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'ena-database' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named ena-database already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/BioTender-max/awesome-bio-agent-skills' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '8cbdd18837aa6296c4e77616a03b323bd69b57b1' -- 'skills/sciagent/ena-database' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/sciagent/ena-database' ~/.agents/skills/'ena-database' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'ena-database' ~/.claude/skills/'ena-database' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
