How this service works
Describe a gene from its NCBI Gene ID or official symbol: name, aliases, organism, position on the genome and a summary of its function.
Output
Returns structured gene metadata including the official gene name, known aliases, the organism it belongs to, its chromosomal/genomic position, and a text summary of its biological function — sourced from the NCBI Gene database.
Example use cases
Bioinformatics pipeline gene annotation
“I have a list of NCBI Gene IDs from my RNA-seq analysis — starting with gene ID 7157. Can you pull the official name, aliases, genomic position, and functional summary for it?”
Research background on disease gene
“I'm writing about hereditary breast cancer — can you look up BRCA1 in humans and give me its official name, any aliases, where it sits on the genome, and a plain-English summary of what it does?”
Cross-species gene comparison
“Can you look up the mouse version of Trp53 (taxon ID 10090) — I need its official symbol, aliases, chromosomal location, and functional description so I can compare it to the human TP53 gene?”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://win.oneshotagent.com/v1/tools/lookup/gene-summary?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when an agent needs authoritative gene metadata (name, position, function) from NCBI for a known gene symbol or Gene ID. Prefer over manual NCBI web searches when structured, machine-readable gene data is required. Particularly useful when integrating gene annotations into bioinformatics pipelines, research summaries, or when cross-referencing gene identities across organisms.
Side effects
- Gene symbol not found for given taxon ID — returns not-found or empty result
- Invalid or non-existent NCBI Gene ID — returns error or empty response
- Ambiguous gene symbol matching multiple genes — may return unexpected record
- Invalid taxon ID format — returns validation error
- Gene ID contains non-digit characters — schema validation failure
Input
Schema · Request body
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| symbol | string | An official gene symbol, for example TP53, matched without regard to case in the organism `taxon_id` names. 1 to 30 characters. No spaces, quotes or square brackets. |
| gene_id | string | An NCBI Gene ID, digits only, for example 7157. Digits only, 1 to 12. |
| taxon_id | integer | The organism as an NCBI Taxonomy ID, used with `symbol`; 9606 (human) unless set, 10090 is mouse. From 1 to 999999999. Defaults to `9606`. |
