Glenn:

We created a REST interface when we developed GeneCruiser, which uses
Ensembl as its data store.  Unfortunately, it has been difficult for us to
keep abreast of the frequent Ensembl databaes schema updates.

We have documented our current REST-style interface here:

http://genecruiser.broadinstitute.org/genecruiser3/pages/GeneCruiser3WebServices.pdf

It would be great if Ensembl would consider doing something similar.  The
Ensembl Perl API just isn't a viable option for us.

Thanks,

Jared Nedzel
