gget

Fast CLI/Python queries to 20+ bioinformatics databases. Use for quick lookups: gene info, BLAST/BLAT, viral sequence downloads, AlphaFold structures, enrichment analysis, OpenTargets, COSMIC, CELLxGENE, and 8cube mouse specificity/expression data. Best for interactive exploration and simple queries. For batch processing or advanced BLAST use biopython; for multi-database Python workflows use bioservices.
