The Ensembl Funcgen database (eFG) database and API stores functional genomics experiments submitted to Ensembl from our collaborators. eFG is a dual purpose system which can be used as a normal ensembl database or as a local or laboratory data storage and analysis platform. Due to the differing requirements from nature of the data and duality of function, eFG is a multi-coordinate system database. The database includes:
Experimental data and meta data from functional genomics experiments using the following technologies:
Chromatin immunoprecipitation using tiling arrays (ChIP-chip)
Chromatin immunoprecipitation using 2nd generation sequencing (ChIP-Seq)
Experimental data on epigenomic modifications and DNA binding proteins:
Histone modifications
DNase1 Hypersensitivity sites
RNAPollII
CCCTC binding factor
Externally curated data with a regulatory focus:
cisRED - Regulatory motifs
miRanda - miRNA targets
VISTA - Enhancers
The Ensembl Regulatory Build - Regulatory features generated from a combined analysis of all of the above.
The table layout of the database is explained in the following document:
A comprehensive Perl Application Programme Interface (API) provides efficient access to the Ensembl Compara database.
EnsEMBL Perl API Installation: A step-by-step installation guide for all Ensembl Perl APIs.
Introduction to eFG: An introduction on how to set up eFG as a local data storage and analysis platform.
Funcgen Perl API Documentation: A complete reference to the objects and methods used in the Funcgen database API.
API support for Regulatory Features: Details of the migration of regulatory feature support from the core API to Funcgen API.
