Ensembl REST API structural variants

Question

[gpng]

Hi,

I am trying to extract the structural variants for a list of regions using the ensembl rest API, e.g.

/overlap/region/human/7:140424943-140624564?feature=structural_variation;content-type=application/json

I was hoping to get results from the 'SV - 1KG 3 - All' track as seen in the browser, but nothing is coming up (I only get a []) I doubt there is a problem with the command as it still works for other specified features.

Could someone try this out for me (using 7:140424943-140624564 perhaps), and let me know there is a bug in the API, or if i am doing something wrong? (e.g. is this the right feature to be specifying... I've tried feature=variation too but it doesn't give the right info).

Thanks! Any help will be greatly appreciated.

This suggests that the 1000 genomes variants are not available to the REST API. This could be a bug or by design. You should contact the Ensembl helpdesk. Anyway, the REST API is limited in what it can do so you'd be better off using the variation perl API.

Thanks for the report. There's something wrong with the code at our end and we're looking into it. I'm sorry you've had a problem.
