`sequence`

Pack: ensembl · Endpoint: https://gateway.pipeworx.io/ensembl/mcp

“DNA / cDNA / CDS / protein sequence of [gene]” / “FASTA for [Ensembl ID]” / “get sequence of [transcript]” — sequence by Ensembl stable ID. Type defaults to “genomic”; pass “cdna”, “cds”, or “protein” for processed forms. Use for sequence retrieval in primer design, variant analysis, or downstream sequence tools.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`id`	string	yes
`type`	string	no	genomic (default) \| cdna \| cds \| protein
