Evidence-backed facts

  1. The Ensembl REST API exposes archive, comparative-genomics, cross-reference, feature, sequence, overlap, variation, taxonomy, assembly, and service-version information across supported species. informative
  2. Public read endpoints require no user account and do not grant data-submission, annotation, release, compute-cluster, or source-database mutation authority. informative
  3. Clients must bind endpoint, species, stable identifier, region, assembly, feature type, content negotiation, and documented GET or POST batch limits and inspect service and data release versions. informative
  4. Genomic coordinates, identifiers, homologies, consequences, and annotations are assembly- and release-dependent and do not prove phenotype, disease causation, experimental validity, or clinical actionability. informative
