# UCSC Genome Browser Exploration

**Discipline**: Genomics | **Tools Used**: 5 | **Servers**: 1

## Description

Explore genome via UCSC: list genomes, list tracks, get sequence, get track data, and cytoband info.

## Tools Used

- **`list_genomes`** from `ucsc-server` (streamable-http) - `https://scp.intern-ai.org.cn/api/v1/mcp/13/Origene-UCSC`
- **`list_tracks`** from `ucsc-server` (streamable-http) - `https://scp.intern-ai.org.cn/api/v1/mcp/13/Origene-UCSC`
- **`get_sequence`** from `ucsc-server` (streamable-http) - `https://scp.intern-ai.org.cn/api/v1/mcp/13/Origene-UCSC`
- **`get_track_data`** from `ucsc-server` (streamable-http) - `https://scp.intern-ai.org.cn/api/v1/mcp/13/Origene-UCSC`
- **`get_cytoband`** from `ucsc-server` (streamable-http) - `https://scp.intern-ai.org.cn/api/v1/mcp/13/Origene-UCSC`

## Workflow

1. List available genomes
2. List tracks for hg38
3. Get DNA sequence for BRCA1 region
4. Get track data
5. Get cytoband info

## Test Case

### Input
```json
{
    "genome": "hg38",
    "chrom": "chr17",
    "start": 43044295,
    "end": 43125370
}
```

### Expected Steps
1. List available genomes
2. List tracks for hg38
3. Get DNA sequence for BRCA1 region
4. Get track data
5. Get cytoband info

## Usage Example

> **Note:** Replace `sk-b04409a1-b32b-4511-9aeb-22980abdc05c` with your own SCP Hub API Key. You can obtain one from the [SCP Platform](https://scphub.intern-ai.org.cn).

```python

    read, write, _ = await stack.enter_async_context(transport)
    ctx = ClientSession(read, write)
    session = await stack.enter_async_context(ctx)
    await session.initialize()
    return session
