Ensembl GRCh37 Rest API - GET sequence/id/:id

Request multiple types of sequence by stable identifier. Supports feature masking and expand options.

Parameters

Required

Name	Type	Description	Default	Example Values
id	`String`	An Ensembl stable ID	`-`	`ENSG00000157764` `ENSG00000157764.fasta (supported on some deployments)`

Optional

Name	Type	Description	Default	Example Values
callback	`String`	Name of the callback subroutine to be returned by the requested JSONP response. Required ONLY when using JSONP as the serialisation method. Please see the user guide.	`-`	`randomlygeneratedname`
db_type	`String`	Restrict the search to a database other than the default. Useful if you need to use a DB other than core	`-`	`core`
end	`Int`	Trim the end of the sequence by this many basepairs. Trimming is relative to reading direction and in the coordinate system of the stable identifier. Parameter can not be used in conjunction with expand_5prime or expand_3prime.	`-`	`1000`
expand_3prime	`Int`	Expand the sequence downstream of the sequence by this many basepairs. Only available when using genomic sequence type.	`-`	`1000`
expand_5prime	`Int`	Expand the sequence upstream of the sequence by this many basepairs. Only available when using genomic sequence type.	`-`	`1000`
format	`Enum(fasta)`	Format of the data	`-`	`fasta`
mask	`Enum(hard,soft)`	Request the sequence masked for repeat sequences. Hard will mask all repeats as N's and soft will mask repeats as lowercased characters. Only available when using genomic sequence type.	`-`	`hard`
mask_feature	`Boolean`	Mask features on the sequence. If sequence is genomic, mask introns. If sequence is cDNA, mask UTRs. Incompatible with the 'mask' option	`0`	`-`
multiple_sequences	`Boolean`	Allow the service to return more than 1 sequence per identifier. This is useful when querying for a gene but using a type such as protein.	`0`	`-`
object_type	`String`	Filter by feature type	`-`	`gene`
species	`String`	Species name/alias	`-`	`homo_sapiens`
start	`Int`	Trim the start of the sequence by this many basepairs. Trimming is relative to reading direction and in the coordinate system of the stable identifier. Parameter can not be used in conjunction with expand_5prime or expand_3prime.	`-`	`1000`
type	`Enum(genomic,cds,cdna,protein)`	Type of sequence. Defaults to genomic where applicable, i.e. not translations. cdna refers to the spliced transcript sequence with UTR; cds refers to the spliced transcript sequence without UTR.	`genomic`	`cds`
