Variation data in Ensembl

This first presentation introduces variation data in Ensembl and shows you how to access data about known variants, using variant IDs.

Exercise 1

1. Retrieve source and variation class for the following variations in human:
   • rs55710239
   • rs56385407
   • COSM998
   • CI003207
     
2. For SNP rs1333049 in human, retrieve the following information for each of its alleles:
   • Allele
   • Frequency*
   • Population name*
   • Submitter name (‘handle’)*
     *if information is available

Anja explains the answers to these questions in this 2-minute video. You can also download her sample script and expected output.
