Ensembl Database

If you're working with genomic data and tired of manually looking up gene identifiers across different databases, this handles the tedious ID mapping between RefSeq, HGNC, UniProt, and Ensembl formats through their REST API. It also pulls raw sequences and transcript structures when you need them. Built by Google DeepMind as part of their science-skills collection, which explains the 2.4K stars. The license notification requirement is a nice touch, making sure you're aware of Ensembl's terms before hitting their API. Most useful when you're dealing with cross-referenced genomic datasets and need to normalize identifiers without leaving your workflow.
