How to query DBSNP with chromosome locations using ensembl

Question

[brady.forcier1]

Hi,

I've been messing around with getting information about mutations at a chromosome location using Ensembl. I currently am loading:

my $pf_adaptor = $registry->get_adaptor('human', 'variation', 'phenotypefeature');

and using slices to accomplish this. One thing my script is missing is the ability to return any hits from dbSNP. I have been digging around the API documntation and I think that I need to load a different "type" into the last arg on get_adaptor. I can't seem to find this out however, even though here it appears dnSNP is a variation type database.

Has anyone been able to query dbSNP using chr locations using Ensembl?

Thanks

What method are you then using with the PhenotypeFeatureAdaptor? What, overall, are you trying to get your script to do?
