The EnsemblProtists DAS server
EnsemblProtists provides a DAS server which gives access to genomic sequences, the latest EnsemblGenomes gene predictions, and for some species - karyotypes and ditags. A list of the sources currently served from the EnsemblProtists DAS server may be found as XML documents at:
- http://protists.ensembl.org/das/dsn (listing generated from the standard DAS data source name (DSN request)
- http://protists.ensembl.org/das/sources (a listing with extended information)
Example requests
DAS request URLs have a specific format:
protocol://site-prefix/das/data-source/command?arguments
For example:
- http://protists.ensembl.org/das/Plasmodium_falciparum.PlasmoDB_5.4.transcript/features?segment=MAL8:339030,344382
- Request all transcripts (exons really) in the region [339030,344382] on Plasmodium falciparum chromosome MAL8
- http://protists.ensembl.org/das/Plasmodium_vivax.EPr1.reference/sequence?segment=1:1,100000
- Request the first 100000 bp of the first Plasmodium vivax chromosome.
