The information in the Registry is being made available to software tools developers through a series of API's (Application Programming Interface). These interfaces will change with time.
DAS - Distributed Annotation System
"The distributed annotation system (DAS) is a client-server system in which a single client integrates information from multiple servers. It allows a single machine to gather up genome annotation information from multiple distant web sites, collate the information, and display it to the user in a single view. Little coordination is needed among the various information providers." - Wikipedia
FASTA Formatted Sequences
We will provide a daily update of part sequences, types, subparts, status, and short description for each part and for all parts. Go to https://parts.igem.org/fasta/parts/BBa_C0040 (substitute our desired part name for BBa_C0040) and you will receive a FASTA formatted file with the part's sequence. The header line has this format:
'>'[Part name] [First character of status] [Part Id Number] [Part type] [Short description]
Note: the short description has unusual characters converted to their two-digit hex value.
You can also get all of the parts in a single download (about 30 megabytes) as https://parts.igem.org/fasta/parts/All_Parts.
We are not yet updating these files on a daily basis. -- Randy May 30, 2009
