How this service works
NCBI Gene database — gene function, chromosome location, aliases, and disease associations.
Output
Returns structured gene data from NCBI including gene function/description, chromosome location, official gene symbol, aliases, and associated diseases or phenotypes.
Example use cases
Gene-disease association research
“What diseases are associated with the CFTR gene? I need its full function, chromosome location, any known aliases, and all the disease or phenotype links you can find in the NCBI Gene database.”
Chromosome location lookup
“Which chromosome is PTEN located on? Can you also grab its official function, any aliases it goes by, and whether it's linked to any known diseases from NCBI Gene?”
Gene aliases for clinical mapping
“I need to find all the known aliases for EGFR — different research groups seem to use different names for it. Can you pull its official symbol, function, chromosomal location, and any disease associations from the NCBI Gene database too?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://bio.memoryapi.org/x402/bio/geneWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need authoritative gene-level information from NCBI including function, genomic location, aliases, and disease links. Prefer this over protein-focused endpoints (UniProt) when the question is specifically about gene identity, chromosomal context, or gene-disease relationships rather than protein sequence or 3D structure.
Side effects
- Gene not found in NCBI database returns empty or error response
- Ambiguous gene name matching multiple genes may return unexpected results
- Payment of $0.005 USDC required per call; missing payment returns 402
- Rate limiting or service unavailability returns 5xx errors
