mygene 2.1.0

Intro

MyGene.Info provides simple-to-use REST web services to query/retrieve gene annotation data. It’s designed with simplicity and performance emphasized. mygene, is an easy-to-use Python wrapper to access MyGene.Info services.

Requirements

python >=2.6 (including python3)

httplib2 (install using “pip install httplib2”)

Installation

Option 1

pip install mygene

Option 2

download/extract the source code and run:

python setup.py install

Option 3

install the latest code directly from the repository:

pip install -e hg+https://bitbucket.org/newgene/mygene#egg=mygene
