Refseq From Ensembl?

Question

[Huggie]

I understand that Refseq is a NCBI project. But I wonder if there is anyway to obtain the data from Ensembl?

I find Ensembl seems a little more organized at times but I'm used to NCBI and not at all familiar with Ensembl interface. I am considering fiddling around with the Ensembl interface.

See the table at the bottom of this view for RefSeqs mapped to Ensembl transcripts:

http://www.ensembl.org/Homo_sapiens/Gene/Matches?g=ENSG00000139618;r=13:32889611-32973805

Using the Perl API, you can find these as 'Xrefs' or External References.

If you want to use the browser, have a look at the videos on our youtube channel, or go through our 'website walkthrough':

You can get the Refseq data from Ensembl either via Biomart or by extracting it via the Ensembl API.
