IGVF Catalog — Regulatory Element–Gene Associations by Region

Usage

Tool Description

Query IGVF Catalog API to find regulatory-element-to-gene associations within a genomic region.
Database: IGVF Catalog (https://api.catalogkg.igvf.org/)
API: GET https://api.catalogkg.igvf.org/api/genomic-elements/genes

Args:
    region (str): Required. Genomic region, e.g. "chr1:903900-904900"
    organism (str): Default "Homo sapiens"
    source_annotation (str, optional): e.g. "enhancer", "intergenic"
    region_type (str, optional): e.g. "accessible dna elements", "tested elements"
    source (str, optional): e.g. "ENCODE_EpiRaction"
    method (str, optional): e.g. "CRISPR FACS screen"
    biosample_name (str, optional): e.g. "placenta"
    verbose (bool): true=返回完整信息, false=精简 (default false)
    page (int): 0-based page
    limit (int): 每页条目数, 最大 500

Return (list of dicts), each item contains:
    - score (float): 调控元件与基因的关联分数
    - source (str): 数据来源 (e.g. "ENCODE")
    - source_url (str): 来源链接
    - genomic_element (dict):
        - chr, start, end: 调控元件基因组坐标
        - source_annotation: 元件注释类型 (intergenic, enhancer, promoter 等)
        - type: 元件类型 (accessible dna elements, tested elements 等)
    - gene (dict):
        - _id: Ensembl Gene ID (e.g. "ENSG00000187634")
        - name: 基因名 (e.g. "SAMD11")
        - chr, start, end, strand: 基因坐标
        - gene_type: 基因类型 (protein_coding, lncRNA 等)
        - hgnc: HGNC ID (e.g. "HGNC:28706")
        - entrez: Entrez ID (e.g. "ENTREZ:148398")
    - biosample (str): 来源生物样本 (e.g. "natural killer cell...")
    - method (str): 实验方法 (e.g. "CRISPR FACS screen")
