Data Search and Retrieval European Nucleotide Archive Nicole Silvester www.ebi.ac.uk/ena
Objectives • Understand the different types of data available from ENA • Know how to find/download them
Data available from ENA • Metadata (XML or tab-separated text) • Flat files • Sequences (FASTA) • Raw reads (FASTQ or submitted format) • Analysis (submitted format)
Searching for data • By accession • By taxon • By search conditions: • Text search • Advanced search • By sequence: • Sequence search
Accession entry point • http://ebi.ac.uk/ena/data/view/<ACCESSION> • http://www.ebi.ac.uk/ena/data/view/ERS027401 • Retrieve XML format • http://www.ebi.ac.uk/ena/data/view/ERS027401&display=XML • Retrieve Flat file • http://www.ebi.ac.uk/ena/data/view/AF059042&display=TEXT • Retrieve FASTA sequence • http://www.ebi.ac.uk/ena/data/view/AF059042&display=FASTA
Taxon entry point • NCBI tax ID • http://www.ebi.ac.uk/ena/data/view/Taxon:6643 • Scientific name • http://www.ebi.ac.uk/ena/data/view/Taxon:Octopus • Retrieve FASTA sequences • http://www.ebi.ac.uk/ena/data/view/Taxon:6643&subtree=true&portal=sequence_release&offset=1&length=1000&display=fasta&download=fasta
Text Search vs Advanced Search • Text search: • “full text” search • terms searched against data files • searches across all ENA data domains • Advanced search: • “field-based” search • search against specific meta-data fields • searches within chosenENA data domain
Text Search vs Advanced Search • want: human sequences
Text Search vs Advanced Search • want: human mRNA sequences
