G Links Version 2
G-Links is a rapid gene-centric data aggregation service developed and maintained in Keio University. It will gather information about gene(s) related to some ID given as an input, by converting the query to a UniProt ID and aggregating various information based on the data from UniProt. The current version of G-Links supports quering from a multitude of databases and generates reports containing data from more than 100 sources.
The current G-Links implementation requires a local copy of the UniProt database which is not being updated as the developer of G-Links has left our institution. The goal of G-Links version 2 is to remove as much dependency on generating local copies but instead fetching data on the fly and caching them for performance.
A development server has been deployed and is accessible from the base url: http://link.g-language.org/v2/.
Some examples:
- http://link.g-language.org/v2/P38398 # Get information for P38398 (or BRCA1_HUMAN)
- http://link.g-language.org/v2/NC_000913 # Get information for genes from E.coli.
- http://link.g-language.org/v2/KO:K00001 # Get information for genes in the K00001 Kegg Orthology classification
Currently, the service is unstable for queries that yeild a lot (probably in the order of thounsands) of output. Please try not to put too much pressure for now.
The metadata for G-Links version 2 has been registered to SmartAPI and can be used from the Swagger interface provided by SmartAPI.
