ensembl-database SKILL.md skillA
ensembl-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/ensembl-database@git:20260528.3e3f998Pins git:20260528.3e3f998 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Ensembl REST API for gene/transcript/variant annotations in 300+ species. Gene info by symbol/ID, sequence, cross-refs (HGNC, RefSeq, UniProt), regulatory features. For bulk local use pyensembl; for pathways use kegg-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
# Ensembl Genome Database ## Overview Ensembl is a comprehensive genome annotation database covering 300+ vertebrate and non-vertebrate species. The Ensembl REST API provides programmatic access to gene models, transcript/protein sequences, variant annotations, cross-references, regulatory features, and comparative genomics without requiring any login or API key. ## When to Use - Retrieving official gene and transcript annotations (stable IDs, biotype, genomic coordinates) for human or model organism genes - Converting between gene identifier namespaces (HGNC symbol ↔ Ensembl ID ↔ RefSeq ↔ UniProt) - Fetching genomic or cDNA/CDS/protein sequences for a gene or transcript - Looking up variant consequences and functional impact (VEP) for a list of SNPs - Querying regulatory features (promoters, enhancers, CTCF sites) in a genomic region - Performing comparative genomics queries (orthologs, paralogs, gene trees) across species - For local offline access to large genomic annotations, use `pyensembl` instead - For pathway and metabolic annotations, use `kegg-database` or `reactome-database` instead ## Prerequisites - **Python packages**: `requests` …

How to install
mdr add jaechang-hits/sciagent-skills/ensembl-database@sha256:4ffeda75a9c3cde4The 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.
