Query 40+ bioinformatics web services through one consistent Python API with bioservices (UniProt, KEGG, ChEMBL, Reactome, Ensembl, NCBI and more). Use when a workflow must hit multiple databases together, map identifiers across services, or run cross-database analyses — for quick single-database lookups use gget, for sequence and file manipulation use biopython.
