gene-database SKILL.md skillA
gene-database from jaechang-hits/sciagent-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

NCBI Gene via E-utilities: curated records across 1M+ taxa. Official symbols, aliases, RefSeq IDs, summaries, coordinates, GO, interactions. Use for gene ID resolution and cross-species function queries. For sequences use Ensembl; for expression use geo-database.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# NCBI Gene Database ## Overview NCBI Gene is the authoritative curated database for gene-centric information, covering 1M+ genes across hundreds of thousands of taxa. Each gene record includes the official symbol, aliases, full name, functional summary, genomic coordinates (GRCh38/GRCh37), RefSeq accessions, GO annotations, interaction partners, and links to related databases. Access is free via E-utilities REST API (no API key required, though recommended). ## When to Use - Resolving gene aliases and synonyms to the current official HGNC/NCBI symbol - Fetching the NCBI Gene ID (integer) for a gene symbol for downstream API calls (e.g., dbSNP, ClinVar, GEO) - Retrieving curated gene summaries and function descriptions programmatically - Pulling RefSeq mRNA (NM_) and protein (NP_) accessions associated with a gene - Querying GO functional annotations (Biological Process, Molecular Function, Cellular Component) - Finding orthologs across species via the NCBI Datasets v2 orthologs endpoint (legacy E-utilities `gene_gene_homolog` retired with HomoloGene in 2019) …

How to install
mdr add jaechang-hits/sciagent-skills/gene-database@sha256:714b4faf16abb2faThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260528.3e3f998, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
