Getting data from Ensembl Genomes
Ensembl Genomes provides access through a variety of interfaces, including a graphical web browser with text and sequence search, an FTP server, a Perl API and a REST API for programmatic access and a public MySQL server.
Additionally, Ensembl Genomes data can be retrieved using the BioMart data-mining tool that provides facilities for fast, customisable download and analysis. You can link searches between different BioMarts in separate locations, allowing you to combine Ensembl Genomes data with information from external resources, and to construct searches across the genomes of different taxonomic groups. Note that BioMart is not currently available for Ensembl Bacteria.
