biothings_get_gene
Fetch detailed gene information using an Entrez or Ensembl ID. Retrieve single gene annotations with specific fields and species filters.
Instructions
Fetch a specific gene by Entrez or Ensembl ID.
Retrieves detailed information for a **single, specific gene** using its exact known identifier.
**This is the preferred tool over `query_genes` for fetching a specific gene when you already know
its standard ID (Entrez or Ensembl) and don't need complex search filters.**
**Supported Identifiers:**
- Entrez Gene ID: e.g., `1017`
- Ensembl Gene ID: e.g., `ENSG00000123374`
