Ruby API for the UCSC database
Introduction
The Ruby API provides a level of abstraction in ruby for the UCSC databases. To external users the API may be useful to automate the extraction of particular data.
This API is only one of many ways to access the data stored at UCSC. For very low through-put, there’s the genome browser ; for more automated searches, there is the TableBrowser. It is possible to access the underlying MySQL database directly with SQL, but no programmable API was available.
Until now.
Status
At this moment, the API only covers copy-number variation-related tables from hg18. Any help extending it to other tables much appreciated.
