<p>Hello Felix</p>
<p>You could use the ensembl REST server (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://rest.ensembl.org/">http://rest.ensembl.org/</a>)</p>
To retrieve the list of available species and genome builds, use the
info/species endpoint: <br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://rest.ensembl.org/info/species?content-type=application/json">http://rest.ensembl.org/info/species?content-type=application/json</a><br>
<br>
To retrieve the sequence information, use the sequence endpoint:<br>
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://rest.ensembl.org/documentation/info/sequence_region_post">http://rest.ensembl.org/documentation/info/sequence_region_post</a>
(Request multiple types of sequence by a list of regions)<br>
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://rest.ensembl.org/documentation/info/sequence_region">http://rest.ensembl.org/documentation/info/sequence_region</a> (Returns
the genomic sequence of the specified region of the given species)<br>
<br>
Please be aware that there is a rate limit (15 requests per
second) <br>
<br>

Hope it helps,<br>

Dear all,</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size:

I am looking to use the Ensembl API to retrieve lists of
available species and genome builds, as well as potentially
large numbers of sequence information for sets of coordinates
of various genomes. For this Java-based project we cannot use
the Perl API, but could potentially use the REST or direct
MySQL access. Would anyone be able to give me a pointer to
what is likely the best way for me going forward?</p>

Many thanks and a Happy New Year!</p>
