## Description

`async_bioservices` is a utility package for [COMO](https://github.com/HelikarLab/COMO). Its purpose is to provie true
asynchronous access to the [Bioservices](https://bioservices.readthedocs.io/en/master/) package. This is done by
wrapping the synchronous functions in `asyncio` tasks. Currently, the only function this package provides is a wrapper
around the `db2db` function in Bioservices.

## Installation

To install `async_bioservices`, you can use pip:

```bash
pip install async_bioservices
```

## Usage

To use `async_bioservices`, simply import the `fetch_gene_info` function and call it with the relevant parameters

```python
from async_bioservices.fetch import fetch_gene_info
from async_bioservices.input_database import InputDatabase
from async_bioservices.output_database import OutputDatabase
from async_bioservices.taxon_id import TaxonID

fetch_gene_info(
    input_values=["1", "2", "3"],
    input_db=InputDatabase.GENE_ID,
    output_db=OutputDatabase.GENE_SYMBOL,
    taxon_id=TaxonID.HOMO_SAPIENS
)
```

## Returns

`async_bioservices` returns a dataframe with the input and output databases as column names. The index of the dataframe
has been reset, starting at 0

An example dataframe is seen below

| Index | Gene ID | Gene Symbol |
|:-----:|:-------:|:-----------:|
|   0   |    0    |      -      |
|   1   |    1    |    A1BG     |
