Since v3.1.0, it has been built on top of biothings-client, a universal client for BioThings APIs. The package lets you query gene information by ID (Entrez, Ensembl, etc.), retrieve specific fields, and search across multiple species. Results can be returned as dictionaries or as pandas DataFrames.\n\nThe package is designed for bioinformatics workflows where you need to look up or cross-reference gene identifiers and their associated metadata. It handles both single-gene queries and batch operations, making it suitable for annotation pipelines and exploratory analysis. The underlying REST API is remote, so network access is required.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need to query gene annotations and can tolerate dormant maintenance. The package is stable and has low install friction, but verify that the remote MyGene.Info API remains compatible with your use case. For active development, consider using biothings-client directly, which mygene wraps."},"id":"mygene","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/mygene","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/mygene.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/mygene/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2021-04-05","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"mygene","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Python Client for MyGene.Info services."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":1468965,"position":3871,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"3.2.2"}
