name: gget description: "CLI/Python toolkit for rapid bioinformatics queries. Preferred for quick BLAST searches. Access to 20+ databases: gene info (Ensembl/UniProt), AlphaFold, ARCHS4, Enrichr, OpenTargets, COSMIC, genome downloads. For advanced BLAST/batch processing, use biopython. For multi-database integration, use bioservices."

gget

Overview

gget is a command-line bioinformatics tool and Python package providing unified access to 20+ genomic databases and analysis methods. Query gene information, sequence analysis, protein structures, expression data, and disease associations through a consistent interface. All gget modules work both as command-line tools and as Python functions.

Important: The databases queried by gget are continuously updated, which sometimes changes their structure. gget modules are tested automatically on a biweekly basis and updated to match new database structures when necessary.

Installation

Install gget in a clean virtual environment to avoid conflicts:

# Using uv (recommended)
uv uv pip install gget

# Or using pip
uv pip install --upgrade gget

# In Python/Jupyter
import gget

Quick Start

Basic usage pattern for all modules:

# Command-line
gget <module> [arguments] [options]

# Python
gget.module(arguments, options)

Most modules return: - Command-line: JSON (default) or CSV with -csv flag - Python: DataFrame or dictionary

Common flags across modules: - -o/--out: Save results to file - -q/--quiet: Suppress progress information - -csv: Return CSV format (command-line only)

Best Practices

Data Retrieval

Use --limit to control result sizes for large queries
Save results with -o/--out for reproducibility
Check database versions/releases for consistency across analyses
Use --quiet in production scripts to reduce output

Sequence Analysis

For BLAST/BLAT, start with default parameters, then adjust sensitivity
Use gget diamond with --threads for faster local alignment
Save DIAMOND databases with --diamond_db for repeated queries
For multiple sequence alignment, use -s5/--super5 for large datasets

Expression and Disease Data

Gene symbols are case-sensitive in cellxgene (e.g., 'PAX7' vs 'Pax7')
Run gget setup before first use of alphafold, cellxgene, elm, gpt
For enrichment analysis, use database shortcuts for convenience
Cache cBioPortal data with -dd to avoid repeated downloads

Structure Prediction

AlphaFold multimer predictions: use -mr 20 for higher accuracy
Use -r flag for AMBER relaxation of final structures
Visualize results in Python with plot=True
Check PDB database first before running AlphaFold predictions

Error Handling

Database structures change; update gget regularly: uv pip install --upgrade gget
Process max ~1000 Ensembl IDs at once with gget info
For large-scale analyses, implement rate limiting for API queries
Use virtual environments to avoid dependency conflicts

Output Formats

Command-line

Default: JSON
CSV: Add -csv flag
FASTA: gget seq, gget mutate
PDB: gget pdb, gget alphafold
PNG: gget cbio plot

Python

Default: DataFrame or dictionary
JSON: Add json=True parameter
Save to file: Add save=True or specify out="filename"
AnnData: gget cellxgene
