Genbank file with feature output for gene? #258

Open harijay opened 2 years ago

harijay commented 2 years ago

I am quite new to pyensembl and really like the ease of use for getting introns, exons and transcripts for a gene. Is it possible right now to get a Genbank file for a pyensembl Gene object?

class GbFileFromGeneName(object):

    def __init__(self,gene_name):
        """Creates a PyEnsembl gene object given a gene name"""
        data = pyensembl.EnsemblRelease(104)
        self.gene = data.genes_by_name(gene_name)[0]

    def get_file(self):
    # Dont see any support for output in Gene object
        pass

I am currently planning to manually compute ann the CCDS and other Features for a genbank file for a gene--I am vary of re-inventing the wheel. Apologies if I missed it in the documentation.
