The Gene Teller skill is a way to look up gene-specific information through a voice assistant. You can ask questions to learn about a gene's expression in the body, convert entrez gene IDs to gene symbols, learn about gene localization, and catch up on the latest information from Gene RIFs. It supports human, mouse, and rat genes.
The skill itself is designed in such a way as to be open source and extensible. The source code for lambda functions and utterances are freely available at Github: https://github.com/solinvicta/geneTeller . Please feel free to adapt this as the basis for your own gene-based tools.
