`gget` is a free, open-source command-line tool and Python package that enables efficient querying of genomic databases. `gget`  consists of a collection of separate but interoperable modules, each designed to facilitate one type of database querying in a single line of code.

# 🪄 Quick start guide
Command line:
```bash
# Fetch all Homo sapiens reference and annotation FTPs from the latest Ensembl release
$ gget ref homo_sapiens

# Get Ensembl IDs of human genes with "ace2" or "angiotensin converting enzyme 2" in their name/description
$ gget search -s homo_sapiens 'ace2' 'angiotensin converting enzyme 2'

# Look up gene ENSG00000130234 (ACE2) and its transcript ENST00000252519
$ gget info ENSG00000130234 ENST00000252519

# Fetch the amino acid sequence of the canonical transcript of gene ENSG00000130234
$ gget seq --translate ENSG00000130234

# Quickly find the genomic location of (the start of) that amino acid sequence
$ gget blat MSSSSWLLLSLVAVTAAQSTIEEQAKTFLDKFNHEAEDLFYQSSLAS

# BLAST (the start of) that amino acid sequence
$ gget blast MSSSSWLLLSLVAVTAAQSTIEEQAKTFLDKFNHEAEDLFYQSSLAS

# Align nucleotide or amino acid sequences stored in a FASTA file
$ gget muscle path/to/file.fa

# Use Enrichr for an ontology analysis of a list of genes
$ gget enrichr -db ontology ACE2 AGT AGTR1 ACE AGTRAP AGTR2 ACE3P

# Get the human tissue expression of gene ACE2
$ gget archs4 -w tissue ACE2

# Get the protein structure (in PDB format) of ACE2 as stored in the Protein Data Bank (PDB ID returned by gget info)
$ gget pdb 1R42 -o 1R42.pdb

# Predict the protein structure of GFP from its amino acid sequence
$ gget setup alphafold # setup only needs to be run once
$ gget alphafold MSKGEELFTGVVPILVELDGDVNGHKFSVSGEGEGDATYGKLTLKFICTTGKLPVPWPTLVTTFSYGVQCFSRYPDHMKQHDFFKSAMPEGYVQERTIFFKDDGNYKTRAEVKFEGDTLVNRIELKGIDFKEDGNILGHKLEYNYNSHNVYIMADKQKNGIKVNFKIRHNIEDGSVQLADHYQQNTPIGDGPVLLPDNHYLSTQSALSKDPNEKRDHMVLLEFVTAAGITHGMDELYK
```
Python (Jupyter Lab / Google Colab):
```python  
import gget
gget.ref("homo_sapiens")
gget.search(["ace2", "angiotensin converting enzyme 2"], "homo_sapiens")
gget.info(["ENSG00000130234", "ENST00000252519"])
gget.seq("ENSG00000130234", translate=True)

gget.enrichr(["ACE2", "AGT", "AGTR1", "ACE", "AGTRAP", "AGTR2", "ACE3P"], database="ontology", plot=True)
gget.archs4("ACE2", which="tissue")
gget.pdb("1R42", save=True)

gget.setup("alphafold") # setup only needs to be run once
gget.alphafold("MSKGEELFTGVVPILVELDGDVNGHKFSVSGEGEGDATYGKLTLKFICTTGKLPVPWPTLVTTFSYGVQCFSRYPDHMKQHDFFKSAMPEGYVQERTIFFKDDGNYKTRAEVKFEGDTLVNRIELKGIDFKEDGNILGHKLEYNYNSHNVYIMADKQKNGIKVNFKIRHNIEDGSVQLADHYQQNTPIGDGPVLLPDNHYLSTQSALSKDPNEKRDHMVLLEFVTAAGITHGMDELYK")
```
Call `gget` from R using [reticulate](https://rstudio.github.io/reticulate/):
```r
system("pip install gget")
install.packages("reticulate")
library(reticulate)
gget <- import("gget")

gget$ref("homo_sapiens")
gget$search(list("ace2", "angiotensin converting enzyme 2"), "homo_sapiens")
gget$info(list("ENSG00000130234", "ENST00000252519"))
gget$seq("ENSG00000130234", translate=TRUE)
gget$blat("MSSSSWLLLSLVAVTAAQSTIEEQAKTFLDKFNHEAEDLFYQSSLAS")
gget$blast("MSSSSWLLLSLVAVTAAQSTIEEQAKTFLDKFNHEAEDLFYQSSLAS")
gget$muscle("path/to/file.fa", out="path/to/out.afa")
gget$enrichr(list("ACE2", "AGT", "AGTR1", "ACE", "AGTRAP", "AGTR2", "ACE3P"), database="ontology")
gget$archs4("ACE2", which="tissue")
gget$pdb("1R42", save=TRUE)
```
