Rat Genome Database Gene Record by RGD ID

rgd/get-gene

Returns the Rat Genome Database record for one gene, looked up by its numeric RGD gene id: gene symbol, full name, curated description, gene type (for example protein-coding), RefSeq status, Sequence Ontology accession, Ensembl symbol and type, and the Alliance-generated functional description. An id that is not a gene returns a validation error. Passed through as published. Data from the Rat Genome Database (RGD), CC BY 4.0, served by Eden Engine; not an official RGD product.

// 1. search: find the tool
omnial_search({ query: "what you need" })

// 2. inspect: price and input schema
omnial_inspect({ tool: "rgd/get-gene" })

// 3. learn: read the usage guide at runtime
omnial_learn({ tool: "rgd/get-gene" })

// 4. run: price the exact call first, then run it
omnial_execute({ tool: "rgd/get-gene", input: { /* see input_schema */ }, dry_run: true })
omnial_execute({ tool: "rgd/get-gene", input: { /* ... */ } })

// 5. settle: the call is charged when it finishes, nothing to do
