Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

Nobody has reviewed this code. TrustedSkills indexes and links skills; it does not audit, run or scan them. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent — read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

About this skill

The KEGG Database skill enables AI agents to query and retrieve structured biological data from the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes. It allows for searching gene functions, metabolic pathways, and chemical compounds directly within the agent's workflow.

When to use it

  • Analyzing specific gene annotations or protein functions in a genomic study.
  • Mapping metabolic reactions to understand cellular processes in bioinformatics.
  • Investigating drug-target interactions using KEGG compound and disease databases.
  • Validating biological hypotheses by cross-referencing pathway data with experimental results.

Key capabilities

  • Querying gene and genome information via KEGG IDs or names.
  • Retrieving detailed metabolic pathway maps and reaction details.
  • Accessing chemical substance data including compounds and drugs.
  • Searching disease-related entries and genetic associations within KEGG.

Example prompts

  • "Find all genes associated with the 'glycolysis' pathway in Homo sapiens."
  • "Retrieve the chemical structure and biological targets for aspirin from KEGG."
  • "List diseases linked to mutations in the BRCA1 gene according to KEGG annotations."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure your AI agent has internet access, as this skill relies on live data from the external KEGG server. Queries may return limited results if the specific organism or pathway is not well-documented in the current KEGG release.
