+JaponicusDB now has an [API](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/API) for
+programmatic access to *S. japonicus* data.  The following data
+types can be retrieved by ID using the API:
+
+ - gene details
+ - GO annotation (by gene ID or term ID)
+ - Phenotype / genotype annotation (by gene or term ID)
+
+An ID mapping tool is also available to convert:
+
+  - cerevisiae, human or *S. pombe* gene IDs to *japonicus* IDs via orthologs
+  - UniProtKB accessions (e.g. "O60150") to *japonicus* IDs
