[Bioperl-l] Ensembl Query

[Stefan Kirov]

In general you should be using Ensembl API. The tutorial is available 
from: http://www.ensembl.org/Docs/ensembl_tutorial.pdf. You can also use 
directly (or through perl DBI) mysql to query their database. Some 
details are in the tutorial, but I don't really know what you are 
interested in. Also you can join the ensembl-dev mailing list: 
http://www.ensembl.org/Docs/Lists/.
Hope this helps
Stefan
