# Ensembl Database Skill
## When to Use
- Use this skill when you need access ensembl rest api for vertebrate genomic data; use when you need gene/id lookups, sequence retrieval, variant effect prediction (vep), or homology/assembly coordinate mapping in a reproducible workflow.
- Use this skill when a evidence insight task needs a packaged method instead of ad-hoc freeform output.
- Use this skill when the user expects a concrete deliverable, validation step, or file-based result.
- Use this skill when `scripts/query_ensembl.py` is the most direct path to complete the request.
- Use this skill when you need the `ensembl-database` package behavior rather than a generic answer.
## Key Features
- Scope-focused workflow aligned to: Access Ensembl REST API for vertebrate genomic data; use when you need gene/ID lookups, sequence retrieval, variant effect prediction (VEP), or homology/assembly coordinate mapping.
