Ena Database
This gives Claude direct access to the European Nucleotide Archive through its REST APIs and FTP endpoints. You'd reach for it when building bioinformatics pipelines that need to pull DNA/RNA sequences, raw FASTQ reads, or genome assemblies by accession number. It handles the common workflow of searching for samples or studies via the Portal API, retrieving metadata, then downloading the actual sequence files. The documentation is thorough with specific endpoint details and rate limiting guidance (50 requests per second). Honestly most useful if you're already working in genomics and know what an ENA accession looks like, since it assumes familiarity with how sequence databases are organized into studies, samples, runs, and assemblies.

ENA Database
Overview
The European Nucleotide Archive (ENA) is a comprehensive public repository for nucleotide sequence data and associated metadata. Access and query DNA/RNA sequences, raw reads, genome assemblies, and functional annotations through REST APIs and FTP for genomics and bioinformatics pipelines.
When to Use This Skill
This skill should be used when:
- Retrieving nucleotide sequences or raw sequencing reads by accession
- Searching for samples, studies, or assemblies by metadata criteria
- Downloading FASTQ files or genome assemblies for analysis
- Querying taxonomic information for organisms
- Accessing sequence annotations and functional data
- Integrating ENA data into bioinformatics pipelines
- Performing cross-reference searches to related databases
- Bulk downloading datasets via FTP or Aspera
Core Capabilities
1. Data Types and Structure
ENA organizes data into hierarchical object types:
Studies/Projects - Group related data and control release dates. Studies are the primary unit for citing archived data.
