Selecting Annotations
The select_annotations command accepts the name of one or more annotations, the genome, chromosomes, and start and end positions. Any combination of these parameters is possible.
Example 1: Selecting the CpG Island annotation:
(s, cpg_island) = server.select_annotations("Cpg Islands",
"hg19", None, None, None, user_key)
Example 2: Only the chromosomes X and Y:
(s, cpg_island) = server.select_annotations("Cpg Islands",
"hg19", ["chrX", "chrY"],
None, None, user_key)
Example 3: Selecting the hox genes:
(s, hox_genes) = server.select_annotations("Genes", "hg19",
"chr7", 27130000, 27250000,
user_key)
The select_annotations return value is a query identifier (that will be) used in other operations or to retrieve data with the get_regions command.
