How Can the Ensembl REST API Be Used in Cancer Research?
Cancer research often involves the analysis of genomic variants to understand their roles in tumorigenesis, progression, and treatment resistance. The Ensembl REST API can be used to:
Retrieve detailed information on gene mutations associated with specific types of cancer. Access transcript and protein sequences for genes of interest, which can be crucial for functional studies. Obtain genomic annotations that link variants to potential clinical significance. Integrate with other databases and tools for comprehensive bioinformatics analyses.
