There are about 47000 genes. In the first step the bot check if an entry already exists and, if not a new entry is made subsequently three claims are added (Entrez Gene ID (P351) <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P351#top> found in taxon (P703) <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P703#top>, subclass of (P279)) as well as synonyms. Currently this process takes a week to complete. In a second phase identifiers for each gene are obtained and added as respective claims. Typically this ranges from 1 claim per property to up to 20 claims per property (This is a rough estimate). This bot has been running for 2 weeks and is currently at 74% of all genes covered.
Currently each entity creation and subsequent claims are unique API calls. So using the wbeditentity will probably result in an improvement. Thanks for the suggestion.
