Subject     : API endpoint for Ensemble gene identifiers overlapping genome coordinates

Comments    : I have generated, based on smallRNA-seq, data-driven \"clusters\" of genome coordinates. I want the Ensemble gene identifier that overlaps with cluster coordinates. Could you please refer me to which API endpoint of the Ensembl REST API (http://rest.ensembl.org/) that contains a mapping of these genome coordinates to the Ensemble gene identifier. For example, if I have the genome coordinate 7:318001-328000, I would like to find the API endpoint which will take that genome coordinate and return a JSON structure which contains the Ensemble gene identifier VIT_01s0010g03900 (or a list of them if that is the return value, i.e. in the format VIT_XXsYYYYgZZZZZ). If this is not possible, is there an API endpoint which takes the genome coordinate as a parameter and returns the Ensemble stable ID? And then another which takes the Ensembl stable ID as a parameter to return the Ensemble gene identifiers.

Thank you in advance for your assistance on this matter.

Kind regards,
Chris Rock, Ph.D
