Getting data from BioSamples
Public samples are available from BioSamples. Samples can be displayed on the website’s user interface, accessed programmatically via the BioSamples API.
To help you find relevant samples of interest, the search function in BioSamples includes synonyms and more specific terms – for example, a search for “cancer” will also include “leukemia”. These are described in more detail in the BioSamples search documentation.
You can also find and download BioSamples data from the EBI search engine.
