# BioThings API Suite

## Overview

BioThings is a family of high-performance biomedical annotation APIs developed at the Scripps Research Institute. The suite provides unified, up-to-date access to gene, variant, and chemical/drug annotations aggregated from dozens of authoritative sources. Three primary services cover the core entities in translational research:

- **MyGene.info** — Gene annotations from NCBI Entrez, Ensembl, UniProt, GO, KEGG, Reactome, and 20+ sources.
- **MyVariant.info** — Variant annotations from dbSNP, ClinVar, gnomAD, CADD, COSMIC, and 15+ sources.
- **MyChem.info** — Drug and chemical annotations from NDC, DrugBank, ChEMBL, FDA, PubChem, and 10+ sources.

All three share identical query syntax, require no authentication, and return JSON. Free for academic and commercial use.
