[edit] Fetching sequences

I found this thread very informative. --Jhannah 08:45, 25 January 2008 (CST)

I don't think there's a direct BioPerl interface to Ensembl, but BioMart at
Ensembl itself will get you sequences (and lots of other things if you want)
given a list of Ensembl IDs.

If you want to be able to get Ensembl sequences from a program, there's the
Ensembl API:

Various approaches are discussed here:

Since you have ENSEMBL ids I'd think that would be the way to go.
