If you intend to use scripts to extract data from TAIR, please note the following: • Please contact us at curator@arabidopsis.org with your data requirements to see whether we can supply the data you need through a custom script directly against our database rather than submitting requests through scripts. • Do not overload TAIR’s systems by submitting requests through multiple threads or programs.
