The purpose of this document is to define a set of straightforward REST (REpresentational State Transfer) services to commonly required information based on the data in g2pDB, a collection of post-translational modification acceptor site mappings to the human genome. These services will provide simple, non-SQL methods to extract this information and make it available over the Internet to anyone wishing to use it as part of a network-aware application.

The following statements refer to all methods and description given below:
Interface services give the programmer access to information about the current state of the REST interface.
input: none return: [ARRAY - "string"] a text description of the current REST interface
Example: find help information through the interface
input: none return: [ARRAY - "string"] the version number of the REST interface
Example: find the current REST interface version number

Dna services give access to PTM-linked information about particular genomic locations.
input: CHR = human chromosome 1-22, MT, X, or Y), POS = base position on chromosome return: {OBJECT} objects containing text description of all modification linked to the specified base
Example: list PTM information linked to base 8925354 on Chromosome 1
http://rest.thegpm.org/2/g2pdb/dna/1/8925354
input: CHR = human chromosome 1-22, MT, X, or Y), POS = base position on chromosome, MOD = modification return: {OBJECT} objects containing text description of the specified modification linked to the specified base
Example: list acetylation modification information linked to base 8925354 on Chromosome 1
http://rest.thegpm.org/2/g2pdb/dna/1/8925354/mod=Acetyl
input: CHR = human chromosome 1-22, MT, X, or Y), POS = base position on chromosome, BASE = variant base return: {OBJECT} objects containing text description of modifications changed by the variant BASE
Example: list modification changes caused by the variant base A at position 8925354 on Chromosome 1
http://rest.thegpm.org/2/g2pdb/dna/1/8030998/snp=A
Peptide services access to all of the genomic mapping information associated with PTMs for a particular protein.
input: ACC = ENSEMBL protein accession number return: {OBJECT} of PTM mapping information
Example: retrieve the PTM mappings for ENSP00000234590
http://rest.thegpm.org/2/g2pdb/protein/ENSP00000234590.
input: ACC = ENSEMBL protein accession number, MOD = modification return: {OBJECT} of PTM mapping information for MOD only
Example: retrieve the ubiquitinylation mappings for ENSP00000234590
http://rest.thegpm.org/2/g2pdb/protein/ENSP00000234590/mod=GlyGly.
These services are being implemented in PERL, the language that is used to provide most of the web page creation logic for the GPMDB system. The code is available at ftp://ftp.thegpm.org/repos/g2p_rest. The files currently available are as follows:
