[ensembl-dev] HGNC gene families

[Andy Yates]

Hi there,

Firstly we do not have any information about the HGNC family linked to a Gene. To retrieve that information you would have to use HGNC services such as Custom Downloads [1] web form or recently released REST API [2]. As for functional classes linked to a Gene we do attach GO terms but these are attached to the translations of the gene. However are no basic summaries of this available.

Hope this helps,

Andy
