Search
While some parameters are common for all searches (see table below), specific search types are accessed through their own URLs. Details of these are available through the links below:

If you choose to retrieve your search results as atom (either through content-type negotiation or using the format parameter) the results are provided as an OpenSearch compatible Atom feed.
If you wish to use OpenSearch description documents for studies and phenotypes these are found in:
