Ensembl REST API workshop, Sep 23 Ensembl is a genome browser for vertebrate genomes that supports research in comparative genomics, evolution, sequence variation and transcriptional regulation. Ensembl annotates genes, computes multiple alignments, predicts regulatory function and collects disease data. The Ensembl REST API allows language agnostic programmatic access to Ensembl genomic data. Our workshop offers an introduction to the REST API and its documentation, and how to access our data. Content The Ensembl project provides a comprehensive and integrated source of annotation of mainly vertebrate genome sequences. This workshop is aimed at researchers and developers interested in exploring Ensembl beyond the website. The workshop covers how to use the Ensembl REST APIs, including understanding the major endpoints and how to write scripts to call them. Participants can opt to receive an e-certificate of attendance for this course. This e-certificate of attendance does not confer any qualification or license to the recipient, it simply states that they attended the course. Learning outcomes After this course participants should be able to: Synthesise the data types accessible through the Ensembl REST API Understand the methods in the Ensembl REST API Navigate the Ensembl REST API documentation to find available methods Write scripts to access data via the Ensembl REST API Programme Overview of the Ensembl REST API Accessing GET queries with the Ensembl REST API Decoding JSON and chaining REST queries together Accessing POST queries with the Ensembl REST API Rate limiting Prerequisites Participants must be able to code in Python, Perl or R. Participants should be familiar with the data in Ensembl and we recommend they attend the browser course or work through the equivalent online material. The training will utilise notebooks hosted by Google Colab. Participants MUST BRING THEIR OWN LAPTOP. Power points may be limited in the training room; please ensure your laptop is fully charged before the workshop start time.
