Ensembl Rest API - GET genetree/id/:id

Retrieves a gene tree for a gene tree stable identifier

Parameters

Required

Name	Type	Description	Default	Example Values
id	`String`	An Ensembl genetree ID	`-`	`ENSGT00390000003602`

Optional

Name	Type	Description	Default	Example Values
aligned	`Boolean`	Return the aligned string if true. Otherwise, return the original sequence (no insertions)	`0`	`-`
callback	`String`	Name of the callback subroutine to be returned by the requested JSONP response. Required ONLY when using JSONP as the serialisation method. Please see the user guide.	`-`	`randomlygeneratedname`
cigar_line	`Boolean`	Return the aligned sequence encoded in CIGAR format	`0`	`-`
clusterset_id	`String`	Name of the gene-tree resource being queried. Common values are "default" for the standard multi-clade trees (which exclude all non-reference strains) and "murinae" for the trees spanning all mouse strains. By default, the most inclusive analysis will be selected	`-`	`default` `murinae`
compara	`String`	Name of the compara database to use. Multiple comparas exist on a server for separate species divisions	`vertebrates`	`vertebrates`
nh_format	`Enum(full, display_label_composite, simple, species, species_short_name, ncbi_taxon, ncbi_name, njtree, phylip)`	The format of a NH (New Hampshire) request.	`simple`	`-`
prune_species	`String`	Prune the tree by species. Supports all species aliases. Will return a tree with only the species given	`-`	`human` `bos_taurus`
prune_taxon	`Integer`	Prune the tree by taxon. Will return a tree with only the taxons given	`-`	`9606` `10090`
sequence	`Enum(none, cdna, protein)`	The type of sequence to bring back. Setting it to none results in no sequence being returned	`protein`	`-`
