Part 2: Web Service Exploration

UniProt

Relevant documentation:
Supplementary websites:
- Retrieve/ID mapping web page
Technical information:
- You will encounter redirects in these web services; web browsers handle this automatically, but if using curl make sure to add the -L switch (i.e., curl -L …)
- Your URLs will include ampersands (&), which will need special handling with curl: in these cases, enclose the URL in apostrophes (e.g., curl -L 'http://www.uniport.org?query=this&type=that')
- UniProt primarily provides results in XML format; in one relevant step, the data can be provided in tab-delimited format, which might be easier to work with
Miscellaneous information:
- You will encounter the need for a taxon ID, which identifies a specific organism; the taxon ID for our strain of S. cerevisiae is 559292

Solution

This is a bash function that we made to display the results from today's exercise

NOTE: We are assuming that you are using bash for the purposes of running this command.
put this code into a file named getInfoForGene
run chmod +x ./getInfoForGene
use the function like so: ./getInfoForGene "GENE_NAME"
- ex: ./getInfoForGene PBS2

#!/bin/bash

gene_id=$(curl -L "http://www.uniprot.org/uploadlists/?from=GENENAME&to=ACC&format=tab&taxon=559292&query=$1" | grep $1 | sed "s/$1[[:space:]]*\([A-Za-z0-9]*\).*/\1/g")

curl -L "http://uniprot.org/uniprot/$gene_id.xml"

Notebook

When doing this assignment, we first made a point of identifying and outlining the endpoints that we'd need to go from the gene name to the gene description; of which there were 2: turning the gene name into the matching uniprot id; then turning the uniprot id into the gene's information page. It was pretty clear how to do the latter part, which had been provided to us in an earlier assignment, but to do the former, we needed to use Uniprot's format conversion endpoint. First we found what parameters we'd need to provide to the endpoint, inspecting the elements to find the names of the specific parameters, and we promptly became stuck on the taxon id because our answers weren't being restricted solely to the genes that we wanted. Luckily, however, Dondi's notes provided us with the taxon id we needed, speeding up our process of getting to the answer. After we were able to get the uploadlists endpoint to work, we just needed to extract the id from the tab delimited output. we ran into a problem regarding POSIX-based whitespace, but we resolved it using the sed command you see provided. Finally, we assigned that output to a variable and fed it into the gene description endpoint.
