What formats are supported for sequence retrieval?

You can retrieve protein data in various formats, including FASTA, JSON, TSV, Excel, XML, and RDF, depending on your workflow needs.

UniProt is the world's leading comprehensive resource for protein sequence and functional information, consisting of the curated Swiss-Prot and the automatically annotated TrEMBL databases.

How do I ensure I am only getting high-quality, reviewed data?

You can use the 'reviewed:true' filter in your search queries to specifically target Swiss-Prot entries, which are manually curated by experts.

Can I map IDs between different databases using this skill?

Yes, this skill supports mapping UniProt identifiers to and from external databases like Ensembl, RefSeq, PDB, KEGG, and many others.

Does this skill support large-scale data downloads?

Yes, it includes a streaming endpoint specifically designed for retrieving large datasets that exceed standard pagination limits.

Data Science & ML

Provides direct REST API access to the UniProt database for protein search, sequence retrieval, and cross-database ID mapping.

About

This skill enables Claude to interact directly with the UniProt protein sequence and functional information resource, allowing for sophisticated bioinformatics workflows. It supports searching by gene symbols or accessions, retrieving sequences in FASTA format, and performing complex ID mapping between major biological databases like Ensembl, PDB, and RefSeq. Ideal for researchers and developers needing programmatic access to curated Swiss-Prot annotations or large-scale TrEMBL datasets without leaving their coding environment.

Batch retrieval and streaming of large protein datasets
Support for multiple data formats including FASTA, JSON, TSV, and XML
Comprehensive ID mapping across 40+ external biological databases
0 GitHub stars

Use Cases

Mapping protein identifiers between different database standards like PDB and Ensembl
Automated sequence retrieval for bioinformatics research pipelines
Extracting functional annotations and Gene Ontology (GO) terms for specific gene sets
