Query Ensembl genome database REST API for 250+ species. Gene lookups, sequence retrieval, variant analysis, comparative genomics, orthologs, VEP predictions, for genomic research.
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 Database ## Overview Access and query the Ensembl genome database, a comprehensive resource for vertebrate genomic data maintained by EMBL-EBI. The database provides gene annotations, sequences, variants, regulatory information, and comparative genomics data for over 250 species. Current release is 115 (September 2025). ## When to Use This Skill This skill should be used when: - Querying gene information by symbol or Ensembl ID - Retrieving DNA, transcript, or protein sequences - Analysing genetic variants using the Variant Effect Predictor (VEP) - Finding orthologs and paralogs across species - Accessing regulatory features and genomic annotations - Converting coordinates between genome assemblies (e.g., GRCh37 to GRCh38) - Performing comparative genomics analyses - Integrating Ensembl data into genomic research pipelines ## Core Capabilities ### 1. Gene Information Retrieval Query gene data by symbol, Ensembl ID, or external database identifiers. **Common operations:** - Look up gene information by symbol (e.g., "BRCA2", "TP53") - Retrieve transcript and protein information - Get gene coordinates and chromosomal locations …

How to install
mdr add marielynneblock/arcanum-artifex/ensembl-database@sha256:a5e2b7642972a26fThe 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.
