Table browser download for previous Ensembl versions

[m bauer]

Dear all,

first of all, thanks a lot for all your efforts related to the Genome Browser. You're providing a great resource to the community.

I was browsing the site and looking through the FAQs, but I could not find an answer to the following task: https://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgTables?command=start provides a convenient possibility to download the current Ensembl genes table. However, if I wanted to download the Ensembl genes table that is derived from a previous Ensembl version (v70, in my case), is there a way to do that?

Any hint is greatly appreciated.

Again, many thanks for all your efforts,

Markus

Hello, Markus.

We unfortunately do not keep previous versions of Ensembl.  If you would like to obtain data from Ensembl v70, your best bet would be to obtain it directly from Ensembl.  The v70 files are available on their FTP site at ftp://ftp.ensembl.org/pub/release-70.

Please contact us again at gen...@soe.ucsc.edu if you have any further questions.  All messages sent to that address are archived on a publicly-accessible Google Groups forum.  If your question includes sensitive data, you may send it instead to genom...@soe.ucsc.edu.

Dear Steve,

[apologies for resending, realized I had sent it to the wrong address]

many thanks for your swift reply. One quick follow-up question: gtpToGenePred would be freely available to all users (ie including commercial) as part of kent/sr/utils as stated on http://genome.ucsc.edu/license/? I was unable to find an explicit listing of what binaries would belong to kent/sr/utils, so I thought I'd double check with you guys.

Again, many thanks for your help,

Markus

Hello, Markus.

Yes, the gtfToGenePred utility is indeed freely available to all users including commercial users.
