ena-database SKILL.md skillA
ena-database from jaechang-hits/sciagent-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add jaechang-hits/sciagent-skills/ena-database@git:20260528.3e3f998Pins git:20260528.3e3f998 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

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.
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
# ENA Database — European Nucleotide Archive Programmatic Access ## Overview The European Nucleotide Archive (ENA) is EMBL-EBI's comprehensive nucleotide sequence database, encompassing raw sequencing reads, genome assemblies, annotated sequences, and associated metadata. It mirrors and extends INSDC data (GenBank, DDBJ). All access is via REST APIs with no authentication required. ## When to Use - Searching for sequencing studies, samples, or experiments by organism, project, or keyword - Downloading raw FASTQ/BAM files for reanalysis of public sequencing datasets - Retrieving genome assemblies with quality statistics (N50, contig count, genome size) - Fetching nucleotide sequences in FASTA or EMBL flat-file format by accession - Exploring taxonomic lineage and finding organisms by partial name - Cross-referencing ENA records with external databases (ArrayExpress, UniProt, PDB) - Building bulk download lists for large-scale sequencing projects - For **multi-database Python queries** (ENA + UniProt + KEGG), prefer `bioservices` instead - For **NCBI-specific queries** (PubMed literature, GenBank records), use `pubmed-database` or Biopython Entrez ## Prerequisites ```bash …

How to install
mdr add jaechang-hits/sciagent-skills/ena-database@sha256:14680c523d7d70e0The 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.
