What problem does it solve?
Streamlines access to Ensembl genomic data by programmatically querying gene annotations, sequences, variants, and comparative genomics data across 250+ species.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Gene Information Retrieval: look up genes by symbol or Ensembl ID to fetch coordinates, transcripts, and cross-references.
- Sequence Retrieval: obtain genomic, transcript, and protein sequences for genes or regions in multiple formats.
- Variant Analysis: run Variant Effect Predictor (VEP) predictions and retrieve variant-level data.
- Comparative Genomics: discover orthologs/paralogs and map conservation across species.
- Assembly & Region Utilities: map coordinates between assemblies (GRCh37/GRCh38) and query features in defined genomic regions.
Quick Start
Query Ensembl for a gene by symbol or Ensembl ID to retrieve core annotations and sequence data.
