BioServices

Overview

BioServices is a Python package providing programmatic access to approximately 40 bioinformatics web services and databases. Retrieve biological data, perform cross-database queries, map identifiers, analyze sequences, and integrate multiple biological resources in Python workflows. The package handles both REST and SOAP/WSDL protocols transparently.

Version note: Examples target bioservices 1.16.0 (PyPI, Mar 2026). Requires Python 3.9–3.12. UniProt REST changes in mid-2022 (bioservices ≥1.10) mainly affect tabular columns names — see upstream _legacy_names if parsing breaks. ChEMBL wrappers changed at 1.6.0 (2018 API); use get_similarity, get_substructure, get_molecule instead of pre-1.6 method names.

When to Use This Skill

This skill should be used when:

Retrieving protein sequences, annotations, or structures from UniProt, PDB, Pfam
Analyzing metabolic pathways and gene functions via KEGG or Reactome
Searching compound databases (ChEBI, ChEMBL, PubChem) for chemical information
Converting identifiers between different biological databases (KEGG↔UniProt, compound IDs)
Running sequence similarity searches (BLAST, MUSCLE alignment)
Querying gene ontology terms (QuickGO, GO annotations)
Accessing protein-protein interaction data (PSICQUIC, IntactComplex)
Mining genomic data (BioMart, ArrayExpress, ENA)
Integrating data from multiple bioinformatics resources in a single workflow

Core Capabilities

1. Protein Analysis

Retrieve protein information, sequences, and functional annotations:

from bioservices import UniProt

u = UniProt(verbose=False)

# Search for protein by name
results = u.search("ZAP70_HUMAN", frmt="tab", columns="id,genes,organism")

# Retrieve FASTA sequence
sequence = u.retrieve("P43403", "fasta")

# Map identifiers between databases
kegg_ids = u.mapping(fr="UniProtKB_AC-ID", to="KEGG", query="P43403")

Key methods:

search(): Query UniProt with flexible search terms
retrieve(): Get protein entries in various formats (FASTA, XML, tab)
mapping(): Convert identifiers between databases

Reference: references/services_reference.md for complete UniProt API details.

2. Pathway Discovery and Analysis

Access KEGG pathway information for genes and organisms:

from bioservices import KEGG

k = KEGG()
k.organism = "hsa"  # Set to human

# Search for organisms
k.lookfor_organism("droso")  # Find Drosophila species

# Find pathways by name
k.lookfor_pathway("B cell")  # Returns matching pathway IDs

# Get pathways containing specific genes
pathways = k.get_pathway_by_gene("7535", "hsa")  # ZAP70 gene

# Retrieve and parse pathway data
data = k.get("hsa04660")
parsed = k.parse(data)

# Extract pathway interactions
interactions = k.parse_kgml_pathway("hsa04660")
relations = interactions['relations']  # Protein-protein interactions

# Convert to Simple Interaction Format
sif_data = k.pathway2sif("hsa04660")

Key methods:

lookfor_organism(), lookfor_pathway(): Search by name
get_pathway_by_gene(): Find pathways containing genes
parse_kgml_pathway(): Extract structured pathway data
pathway2sif(): Get protein interaction networks

Reference: references/workflow_patterns.md for complete pathway analysis workflows.

3. Compound Database Searches

Search and cross-reference compounds across multiple databases:

from bioservices import KEGG, UniChem

k = KEGG()

# Search compounds by name
results = k.find("compound", "Geldanamycin")  # Returns cpd:C11222

# Get compound information with database links
compound_info = k.get("cpd:C11222")  # Includes ChEBI links

# Cross-reference KEGG → ChEMBL using UniChem
u = UniChem()
chembl_id = u.get_compound_id_from_kegg("C11222")  # Returns CHEMBL278315

Version caveat: the per-source get_compound_id_from_* helpers are gone from bioservices 1.16.0 — check hasattr(u, "get_compound_id_from_kegg") first, and otherwise use the current UniChem API (u.get_compounds(compound, source_type) and read res["compounds"][0]["sources"]). ChEMBL lookups follow the same rule: get_molecule, not the pre-1.6 get_compound_by_chemblId.

Common workflow:

Search compound by name in KEGG
Extract KEGG compound ID
Use UniChem for KEGG → ChEMBL mapping
ChEBI IDs are often provided in KEGG entries

Reference: references/identifier_mapping.md for complete cross-database mapping guide.

4. Sequence Analysis

Run BLAST searches and sequence alignments. NCBI requires a contact email — prefer the NCBI_EMAIL environment variable (same convention as BioPython Entrez and other repo skills):

import os
from bioservices import NCBIblast

s = NCBIblast(verbose=False)
email = os.environ["NCBI_EMAIL"]  # set before running: export NCBI_EMAIL=you@lab.org

# Run BLASTP against UniProtKB
jobid = s.run(
    program="blastp",
    sequence=protein_sequence,
    stype="protein",
    database="uniprotkb",
    email=email,
)

# Check job status and retrieve results
s.getStatus(jobid)
results = s.getResult(jobid, "out")

Note: BLAST jobs are asynchronous. Check status before retrieving results.

5. Identifier Mapping

Convert identifiers between different biological databases:

from bioservices import UniProt, KEGG

# UniProt mapping (many database pairs supported)
u = UniProt()
results = u.mapping(
    fr="UniProtKB_AC-ID",  # Source database
    to="KEGG",              # Target database
    query="P43403"          # Identifier(s) to convert
)

# KEGG gene ID → UniProt
kegg_to_uniprot = u.mapping(fr="KEGG", to="UniProtKB_AC-ID", query="hsa:7535")

# For compounds, use UniChem
from bioservices import UniChem
u = UniChem()
chembl_from_kegg = u.get_compound_id_from_kegg("C11222")

Supported mappings (UniProt):

UniProtKB ↔ KEGG
UniProtKB ↔ Ensembl
UniProtKB ↔ PDB
UniProtKB ↔ RefSeq
And many more (see references/identifier_mapping.md)

6. Gene Ontology Queries

Access GO terms and annotations:

from bioservices import QuickGO

g = QuickGO(verbose=False)

# Retrieve GO term information
term_info = g.Term("GO:0003824", frmt="obo")

# Search annotations
annotations = g.Annotation(protein="P43403", format="tsv")

7. Protein-Protein Interactions

Query interaction databases via PSICQUIC. PSICQUIC is not shipped by every release — it is absent from 1.16.0 — so import it defensively and fall back to IntactComplex, OmniPath, or STRING when it is missing:

from bioservices import PSICQUIC

s = PSICQUIC(verbose=False)

# Query specific database (e.g., MINT)
interactions = s.query("mint", "ZAP70 AND species:9606")

# List available interaction databases
databases = s.activeDBs

Available databases: MINT, IntAct, BioGRID, DIP, and 30+ others.

Multi-Service Integration Workflows

BioServices excels at combining multiple services for comprehensive analysis. Common integration patterns:

Complete Protein Analysis Pipeline

Execute a full protein characterization workflow:

export NCBI_EMAIL=your.email@example.com
python scripts/protein_analysis_workflow.py ZAP70_HUMAN
# Or pass email as optional second argument if NCBI_EMAIL is unset
python scripts/protein_analysis_workflow.py ZAP70_HUMAN your.email@example.com

This script demonstrates:

UniProt search for protein entry
FASTA sequence retrieval
BLAST similarity search
KEGG pathway discovery
PSICQUIC interaction mapping

Pathway Network Analysis

Analyze all pathways for an organism:

python scripts/pathway_analysis.py hsa output_directory/

Extracts and analyzes:

All pathway IDs for organism
Protein-protein interactions per pathway
Interaction type distributions
Exports to CSV/SIF formats

Cross-Database Compound Search

Map compound identifiers across databases:

python scripts/compound_cross_reference.py Geldanamycin

Retrieves:

KEGG compound ID
ChEBI identifier
ChEMBL identifier
Basic compound properties

Batch Identifier Conversion

Convert multiple identifiers at once:

python scripts/batch_id_converter.py input_ids.txt --from UniProtKB_AC-ID --to KEGG

Best Practices

Output Format Handling

Different services return data in various formats:

XML: Parse using BeautifulSoup (most SOAP services)
Tab-separated (TSV): Pandas DataFrames for tabular data
Dictionary/JSON: Direct Python manipulation
FASTA: BioPython integration for sequence analysis

Rate Limiting and Verbosity

Control API request behavior:

from bioservices import KEGG

k = KEGG(verbose=False)  # Suppress HTTP request details
k.TIMEOUT = 30  # Adjust timeout for slow connections

Error Handling

Wrap service calls in try-except blocks:

try:
    results = u.search("ambiguous_query")
    if results:
        # Process results
        pass
except Exception as e:
    print(f"Search failed: {e}")

Organism Codes

Use standard organism abbreviations:

hsa: Homo sapiens (human)
mmu: Mus musculus (mouse)
dme: Drosophila melanogaster
sce: Saccharomyces cerevisiae (yeast)

List all organisms: k.list("organism") or k.organismIds

Integration with Other Tools

BioServices works well with:

BioPython: Sequence analysis on retrieved FASTA data
Pandas: Tabular data manipulation
PyMOL: 3D structure visualization (retrieve PDB IDs)
NetworkX: Network analysis of pathway interactions
Galaxy: Custom tool wrappers for workflow platforms

# BioServices

## Overview

BioServices is a Python package providing programmatic access to approximately 40 bioinformatics web services and databases. Retrieve biological data, perform cross-database queries, map identifiers, analyze sequences, and integrate multiple biological resources in Python workflows. The package handles both REST and SOAP/WSDL protocols transparently.

**Version note:** Examples target **bioservices 1.16.0** (PyPI, Mar 2026). Requires **Python 3.9–3.12**. UniProt REST changes in mid-2022 (bioservices ≥1.10) mainly affect tabular `columns` names — see upstream `_legacy_names` if parsing breaks. ChEMBL wrappers changed at 1.6.0 (2018 API); use `get_similarity`, `get_substructure`, `get_molecule` instead of pre-1.6 method names.

## When to Use This Skill

This skill should be used when:
- Retrieving protein sequences, annotations, or structures from UniProt, PDB, Pfam
- Analyzing metabolic pathways and gene functions via KEGG or Reactome
- Searching compound databases (ChEBI, ChEMBL, PubChem) for chemical information
- Converting identifiers between different biological databases (KEGG↔UniProt, compound IDs)
- Running sequence similarity searches (BLAST, MUSCLE alignment)
- Querying gene ontology terms (QuickGO, GO annotations)
- Accessing protein-protein interaction data (PSICQUIC, IntactComplex)
- Mining genomic data (BioMart, ArrayExpress, ENA)
- Integrating data from multiple bioinformatics resources in a single workflow

## Core Capabilities

### 1. Protein Analysis

Retrieve protein information, sequences, and functional annotations:

```python
from bioservices import UniProt

u = UniProt(verbose=False)

# Search for protein by name
results = u.search("ZAP70_HUMAN", frmt="tab", columns="id,genes,organism")

# Retrieve FASTA sequence
sequence = u.retrieve("P43403", "fasta")

# Map identifiers between databases
kegg_ids = u.mapping(fr="UniProtKB_AC-ID", to="KEGG", query="P43403")
```

**Key methods:**
- `search()`: Query UniProt with flexible search terms
- `retrieve()`: Get protein entries in various formats (FASTA, XML, tab)
- `mapping()`: Convert identifiers between databases

Reference: `references/services_reference.md` for complete UniProt API details.

### 2. Pathway Discovery and Analysis

Access KEGG pathway information for genes and organisms:

```python
from bioservices import KEGG

k = KEGG()
k.organism = "hsa"  # Set to human

# Search for organisms
k.lookfor_organism("droso")  # Find Drosophila species

# Find pathways by name
k.lookfor_pathway("B cell")  # Returns matching pathway IDs

# Get pathways containing specific genes
pathways = k.get_pathway_by_gene("7535", "hsa")  # ZAP70 gene

# Retrieve and parse pathway data
data = k.get("hsa04660")
parsed = k.parse(data)

# Extract pathway interactions
interactions = k.parse_kgml_pathway("hsa04660")
relations = interactions['relations']  # Protein-protein interactions

# Convert to Simple Interaction Format
sif_data = k.pathway2sif("hsa04660")
```

**Key methods:**
- `lookfor_organism()`, `lookfor_pathway()`: Search by name
- `get_pathway_by_gene()`: Find pathways containing genes
- `parse_kgml_pathway()`: Extract structured pathway data
- `pathway2sif()`: Get protein interaction networks

Reference: `references/workflow_patterns.md` for complete pathway analysis workflows.

### 3. Compound Database Searches

Search and cross-reference compounds across multiple databases:

```python
from bioservices import KEGG, UniChem

k = KEGG()

# Search compounds by name
results = k.find("compound", "Geldanamycin")  # Returns cpd:C11222

# Get compound information with database links
compound_info = k.get("cpd:C11222")  # Includes ChEBI links

# Cross-reference KEGG → ChEMBL using UniChem
u = UniChem()
chembl_id = u.get_compound_id_from_kegg("C11222")  # Returns CHEMBL278315
```

**Version caveat:** the per-source `get_compound_id_from_*` helpers are gone from
bioservices 1.16.0 — check `hasattr(u, "get_compound_id_from_kegg")` first, and
otherwise use the current UniChem API (`u.get_compounds(compound, source_type)`
and read `res["compounds"][0]["sources"]`). ChEMBL lookups follow the same rule:
`get_molecule`, not the pre-1.6 `get_compound_by_chemblId`.

**Common workflow:**
1. Search compound by name in KEGG
2. Extract KEGG compound ID
3. Use UniChem for KEGG → ChEMBL mapping
4. ChEBI IDs are often provided in KEGG entries

)

# KEGG gene ID → UniProt
kegg_to_uniprot = u.mapping(fr="KEGG", to="UniProtKB_AC-ID", query="hsa:7535")

# For compounds, use UniChem
from bioservices import UniChem
u = UniChem()
chembl_from_kegg = u.get_compound_id_from_kegg("C11222")
```

**Supported mappings (UniProt):**
- UniProtKB ↔ KEGG
- UniProtKB ↔ Ensembl
- UniProtKB ↔ PDB
- UniProtKB ↔ RefSeq
- And many more (see `references/identifier_mapping.md`)

### 6. Gene Ontology Queries

```python
try:
    results = u.search("ambiguous_query")
    if results:
        # Process results
        pass
except Exception as e:
    print(f"Search failed: {e}")
