Unified Python interface to 40+ bioinformatics services. Use when querying multiple databases (UniProt, KEGG, ChEMBL, Reactome) in a single workflow with consistent API. Best for cross-database analysis, ID mapping across services. For quick single-database lookups use gget; for sequence/file manipulation use biopython.
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
# BioServices ## Overview BioServices is a Python package providing programmatic access to approximately 40 bioinformatics web services and databases. Retrieve biological data, perform cross-database queries, map identifiers, analyse sequences, and integrate multiple biological resources in Python workflows. The package handles both REST and SOAP/WSDL protocols transparently. ## When to Use This Skill This skill should be used when: - Retrieving protein sequences, annotations, or structures from UniProt, PDB, Pfam - Analysing metabolic pathways and gene functions via KEGG or Reactome - Searching compound databases (ChEBI, ChEMBL, PubChem) for chemical information - Converting identifiers between different biological databases (KEGG↔UniProt, compound IDs) - Running sequence similarity searches (BLAST, MUSCLE alignment) - Querying gene ontology terms (QuickGO, GO annotations) - Accessing protein-protein interaction data (PSICQUIC, IntactComplex) - Mining genomic data (BioMart, ArrayExpress, ENA) - Integrating data from multiple bioinformatics resources in a single workflow ## Core Capabilities ### 1. Protein Analysis …

How to install
mdr add marielynneblock/arcanum-artifex/bioservices@sha256:b62c86e3f8850c6fThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260710.0115f49, 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.
