Welcome to the IKMC Targeting Repository wiki. Here we shall maintain a small collection of developer documentation as to how other groups can interact with the targeting repository to automatically query and enter data from the repository and its BioMart.

Getting an Account

At the moment we are only accepting data from members of the IKMC and the mirKO project. Once the structure of the repository and its services are in place and settled we will be open for third parties to request accounts and enter data.

REST API

The targeting repository comes with a RESTful web-service API - this section gives some information on the basics of REST services and details how to interact with the targeting repository services. Use this mechanism for maintaining data within the targeting repository (create/update/delete operations), and basic querying only. If you would like to perform bulk data-query operations, we would recommend using the BioMart (details on the BioMart web services are below).
