[lauraluebbert]

Project description

gget is a Python and command line tool that facilitates access to information stored in large public genomic databases. It consists of a collection of separate but interoperable modules, each specialized for one specific task (e.g. gget alphafold). There is an ever-growing demand for new modules/tasks/APIs as the program gains popularity. If you are interested in bioinformatics or genetics, this is a great way to get involved and claim your contribution to a project with over 60k downloads worldwide and an increasing amount of citations in scientific papers. gget was designed and documented in a way that makes it straightforward to contribute, even for novice programmers. Depending on the task tackled, you can make your problem as easy or hard as desired. The issues page lists some recent feature requests.
