A simple Python wrapper for the MyGene API.
For extensive API documentation, see the MyGene site.
Install me from PyPi! pip install mygene-api
Basic Example
Find a given gene with the id: CDK2.
""" Use the query API to find a gene with
the given symbol.
"""
from mygene.gene import Gene
results = Gene.find_by(q='CDK2')
for r in result:
print r._id, r.name
>>> 1017 cyclin-dependent kinase 2
12566 cyclin-dependent kinase 2
362817 cyclin dependent kinase 2
52004 CDK2-associated protein 2
...Detailed Example
Given an known gene, get it's begin and end coordinates.
""" Use the annotation API to find the full
details of a given gene.
"""
from mygene.gene import gene
gene = Gene.get('1017')
print gene._id, gene.genomic_pos_hg19['start'], gene.genomic_pos_hg19['end']
>>> 1017 56360553 56366568This library also supports the metadata API.
from mygene.metadata import Metadata
metadata = Metadata.get_metadata()
print metadata.stats['total_genes']
>>> 12611464
