Data Mining in Ensembl with BioMart Giulietta Spudich EBI, 2007
BioMart http://www.biomart.org/biomart/martview http://www.ensembl.org/biomart/martview • Or click on ‘BioMart’ from Ensembl
BioMart- Data mining • BioMart filters the data in the Ensembl databases, combines multiple terms and puts them into a table format. • Such as: human genes (HGNC IDs), chromosome and base pair position • No programming required!
General or Specific Data-Tables • All the genes for one species • Or… only genes on one specific region of a chromosome • Or… only genes on one specific region of a chromosome that have homologues
Web Interface Dataset Filters: Define the gene set Attributes: Output information Three main stages: Dataset, Filters and Attributes.
Results Tables or sequences
Export tables as… • Microsoft Excel (xls) • Text (csv, tsv) • HTML • GFF • XML Or export sequences in FASTA format
FASTA sequences • Gene (unspliced) • Transcript (cDNA) • Translation (coding) • UTR (5’ or 3’) • Flanking sequence

The Flow • Choose Dataset (All genes for a species) • Choose Filters (narrows the gene set) • Choose Attributes (output options)
Query: • The human gene encoding Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) is located on chromosome X in cytogenetic band q28. What other genes related to human disease locate to the same region? Do they have Interpro domains? Filters: what we know Attributes: what we want to know.
