bio-blast-searches SKILL.md skillA
bio-blast-searches from fridrichmethod/awesome-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Run remote BLAST searches against NCBI databases using Biopython Bio.Blast. Use when identifying unknown sequences, finding homologs, or searching for sequence similarity against NCBI's nr/nt databases.
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.

# BLAST Searches
Run BLAST searches against NCBI databases using Biopython's Bio.Blast module.
## Required Import
```python
from Bio.Blast import NCBIWWW, NCBIXML
from Bio import SeqIO
```
## BLAST Programs
| Program | Query | Database | Use Case |
|---------|-------|----------|----------|
| `blastn` | Nucleotide | Nucleotide | DNA/RNA sequence similarity |
| `blastp` | Protein | Protein | Protein sequence similarity |
| `blastx` | Nucleotide | Protein | Find protein hits for DNA query |
| `tblastn` | Protein | Nucleotide | Find DNA encoding protein-like |
| `tblastx` | Nucleotide | Nucleotide | Translated vs translated |
## Core Function
### NCBIWWW.qblast()
Submit a BLAST query to NCBI servers.
```python
from Bio.Blast import NCBIWWW
# Simple BLASTN search
result_handle = NCBIWWW.qblast('blastn', 'nt', sequence)
```

How to install
mdr add fridrichmethod/awesome-skills/bio-blast-searches@sha256:ab7ea150b230f4c8The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260520.7a7a671, 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.
