DAS Server
parts.mit.edu is a valid DAS server.
The DAS interface to the Registry can provide sequence and feature information about any part in the Registry.
DAS information is available via the HTTP protocol.
(NOTE: the das interface in only operating on parts.mit.edu at this time.)
http://parts.mit.edu/das/dsn will return the XML for the list of DAS services available on the server.
DAS Protein Annotation Server
http://parts.mit.edu/protein_annotations/entry_points
- A list of protein coding sequence parts that have swissprot numbers and can be understood by the DAS system.
http://parts.mit.edu/protein_annotations/types
A list of the types that are valid for protein_annotations
http://parts.mit.edu/das/protein_annotations/features?selection=UniprotNumber
Identification that the sequence exists
http://parts.mit.edu/das/protein_annotations/dna?selection=PartName:firstbase,lastbase
Returns XML containing the sequence for the given part from the firstbase to the last base specified
DAS Parts Server
http://parts.mit.edu/das/parts/entry_points
- Returns an XML list of all available parts in the registry. The information includes the part name and sequence length.
http://parts.mit.edu/das/parts/features?segment=PartName:firstbase,lastbase
- Returns easy to read XML listing each feature in the part between firstbase and lastbase.
http://parts.mit.edu/das/dna?segment=PartName:firstbase,lastbase
Returns the easy to read XML listing of the sequence for the part
