[ensembl-dev] Obtaining additional annotation (tissue, stage, ..) for transcripts.

[Bert Overduin]

Hello Allan,

You can get all xrefs (cross-references) for a transcript using:

my @xrefs = @{$transcript->get_all_DBEntries};

or if you also want the protein xrefs:

my @xrefs = @{$transcript->get_all_DBLinks};

and then get their database name and id by asking for:

$xref->dbname
$xref>display_id

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Bert
