RESTful and Query builder interfaces to ENA launched in beta

New tools to discover and retrieve the world’s nucleotide sequence data have been launched today, in early beta, based on a new custom data warehouse that brings together the diverse content of ENA.

The Query builder function, a web interface for the construction of powerful queries, provides interactive access, while the RESTful interface supports programmatic calls to the warehouse. The Query builder is available from the ‘Advanced search’ tab on any search results page and is documented, along with the RESTful interface here.

These two interfaces will in due course be complemented with a third warehouse-based search interface that offers more intuitive access with much of the search power.

We encourage users to send feedback on this and other ENA services to datasubs@ebi.ac.uk.
