string_homology

Active

declared in 2.13.1

Retrieves pairwise protein similarity scores (Smith–Waterman bit scores) for the query proteins. - If no target species (`species_b`) is provided, results are intra-species (within the query species). - To retrieve homologs in other species or clades (e.g. vertebrates, yeast, plants), specify one or more NCBI taxon IDs in `species_b`. - Multiple target species are supported; ask the user to clarify if needed. - Always report species names together with their taxon IDs. - Bit scores < 50 are not reported. - Results are truncated to the top 50 proteins per input protein.
