Introduction

Ensembl produces a range of utilities and tools, most especially, an API.

It is mostly a perl endeavour, though a RESTful API is alsof available, although this newer and quite possibly not as powerful as the historical perl installation.


Components

ensembl-git-tools

Seemingly just a tool set to enable downloading (i.e not even installation) of the other tools. Merely amount to beign able to execute the following

git ensembl --clone api

This will clone the following:

  • ensembl
  • ensembl-compara
  • ensembl-fncgen
  • ensembl-io
  • ensembl-variation

The ensembl-tools is not retrieved.

ensembl

This poorly named componenet can be referred to as core.

ensembl-tools

Unlike the other components, this does not contain a modules subdirectory. However, all its compoenents are hidden inside a scripts subdirectory.

This component contains:

  • assembly-converter
  • id_history_converter
  • region_reporter
  • variant_effect_predictor
