Introduction

EnsemQuery is a command line tool that serves as a convenient interface for fetching and saving specific genetic data points from Ensembl endpoints. Designed with extensibility in mind, the tool is currently focused on the VEP endpoint but aims to incorporate other Ensembl services in the future. It's a useful utility for researchers, healthcare professionals, and anyone interested in genetic data analysis.
