Instance Method Details

- (Object) exportview(*args)

Ensembl ExportView Client.

Retrieve genomic sequence/features from Ensembl ExportView in plain text. Ensembl ExportView exports genomic data (sequence and features) in several file formats including fasta, GFF and tab.

Examples

human = Bio::Ensembl.new('Homo_sapiens')
  or
human = Bio::Ensembl.human

# Genomic sequence in Fasta format
human.exportview(:seq_region_name => 1, 
                 :anchor1 => 1149206, :anchor2 => 1149229)
human.exportview(1, 1149206, 1149229)

# Feature in GFF
human.exportview(:seq_region_name => 1, 
                 :anchor1 => 1149206, :anchor2 => 1150000, 
                 :options => ['similarity', 'repeat', 
                              'genscan', 'variation', 'gene'])
human.exportview(1, 1149206, 1150000, ['variation', 'gene'])

Feature in TAB

human.exportview(:seq_region_name => 1, 
                 :anchor1 => 1149206, :anchor2 => 1150000, 
                 :options => ['similarity', 'repeat', 
                              'genscan', 'variation', 'gene'],
                 :format => 'tab')

Arguments

Bio::Ensembl#exportview method allow both orderd arguments and named arguments. (Note: mandatory arguments are marked by '*').

Orderd Arguments

  1. seq_region_name - Chromosome number (*)

  2. anchor1 - From coordination (*)

  3. anchor2 - To coordination (*)

  4. options - Features to export (in :format => 'gff' or 'tab')

    ['similarity', 'repeat', 'genscan', 'variation', 
 'gene']

Named Arguments

  • :seq_region_name - Chromosome number (*)

  • :anchor1 - From coordination (*)

  • :anchor2 - To coordination (*)

  • :type1 - From coordination type ['bp', ]

  • :type2 - To coordination type ['bp', ]

  • :upstream - Bp upstream

  • :downstream - Bp downstream

  • :format - File format ['fasta', 'gff', 'tab']

  • :options - Features to export (for :format => 'gff' or 'tab')

    ['similarity', 'repeat', 'genscan', 'variation', 
 'gene']
