Core

The Core module is presented by Magali Ruffier, who worked in our Core team. The Core team is responsible for maintaining the Ensembl databases and the Core API.

The Core module covers basic access to the Ensembl database, as well as how to retrieve basic genome features, such as genes and transcripts, repeat features and sequences, and meta-data about the genomes themselves.

There are 71 minutes of video in this module and the exercises should take you between three and six hours in total.
