Overview

Package mygene is the library behind the mygene command line: the HTTP client, request shaping, and the typed data models for MyGene.info.

The Client here is the spine every command shares. It sets a real User-Agent, paces requests so a busy session stays polite, and retries the transient failures (429 and 5xx) that any public API throws under load. Build your endpoint calls and JSON decoding on top of it.

Constants

View Source
const BaseURL = "https://" + Host + "/v3"

BaseURL is the root every request is built from.

View Source
const DefaultUserAgent = "mygene/dev (+https://github.com/tamnd/mygene-cli)"

DefaultUserAgent identifies the client to MyGene.info. A real, honest User-Agent is both polite and the thing most likely to keep you unblocked.

View Source
const Host = "mygene.info"

Host is the site this client talks to, and the host the URI driver in domain.go claims.

Types

type Client

type Client struct {
	HTTP      *http.Client
	UserAgent string
	// Rate is the minimum gap between requests. Zero means no pacing.
	Rate    time.Duration
	Retries int
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Client talks to MyGene.info over HTTP.

func NewClient

func NewClient() *Client

NewClient returns a Client with sensible defaults: a 30s timeout, a 300ms minimum gap between requests, and three retries on transient errors.

func (*Client) Get

func (c *Client) Get(ctx context.Context, rawURL string) ([]byte, error)

Get fetches url and returns the response body. It paces and retries according to the client's settings. The caller owns nothing extra; the body is read fully and closed here.

func (*Client) GetGene

func (c *Client) GetGene(ctx context.Context, geneID string) (*Gene, error)

GetGene fetches a single gene by Entrez Gene ID or Ensembl ID.

func (*Client) Post

func (c *Client) Post(ctx context.Context, rawURL string, payload any) ([]byte, error)

Post performs an HTTP POST with a JSON body and returns the response bytes.

func (*Client) SearchGenes

func (c *Client) SearchGenes(ctx context.Context, query string, limit int, species string) ([]*Gene, int, error)

SearchGenes queries /v3/query and returns matching genes plus the total hit count. species may be empty (all species) or a taxid / name like "human".

type Domain

type Domain struct{}

Domain is the mygene driver. It carries no state; the per-run client is built by the factory Register hands kit.

func (Domain) Classify

func (Domain) Classify(input string) (uriType, id string, err error)

Classify turns any accepted input into the canonical (type, id). Any non-empty string is accepted as a gene ID.

func (Domain) Info

func (Domain) Info() kit.DomainInfo

Info describes the scheme, the hostnames a pasted link is matched against, and the identity reused for the binary's help and version.

func (Domain) Locate

func (Domain) Locate(uriType, id string) (string, error)

Locate is the inverse: the live https URL for a (type, id). Numeric IDs resolve to the NCBI Gene page; Ensembl IDs resolve to mygene.info.

func (Domain) Register

func (Domain) Register(app *kit.App)

Register installs the client factory and every operation onto app.

type Gene

type Gene struct {
	ID          string `json:"id"            kit:"id"`
	Symbol      string `json:"symbol"`
	Name        string `json:"name,omitempty"`
	TaxID       int    `json:"tax_id,omitempty"`
	EntrezGene  string `json:"entrezgene,omitempty"`
	EnsemblGene string `json:"ensembl_gene,omitempty"`
	GeneType    string `json:"gene_type,omitempty"`
	Chromosome  string `json:"chromosome,omitempty"`
	Start       int    `json:"start,omitempty"`
	End         int    `json:"end,omitempty"`
}

Gene is the public record type: one gene from MyGene.info.
