Automated use of MPD is restricted

Automated use (web-bot, web-crawling) is not an appropriate or efficient method for scientific users to get bulk data from MPD... use the download center or contact us for assistance... phenome@jax.org

Automated, unattended use can overload MPD's resources and hamper the work of real live users, which isn't fair.

Automated use of MPD's genotype-related resources is prohibited. These sectors of MPD are data-heavy, have a very large number of url-addressable entries, and usually not of interest to indexed-text search engines. Contact us at phenome@jax.org to discuss specific options.

For MPD's phenotype sector search engine spidering is allowed if web crawlers hit our site at a reasonable rate (no more than once every 20 seconds) and observe standard robots tags such as noindex and nofollow. Known web crawlers will be served abbreviated content on data-heavy pages. In addition, if automated usage patterns are detected we reserve the right to block (or serve abbreviated content to) any IP address.

Thank you for respecting these guidelines.
