Ensembl Get Gene Overlapping Features

Overview

Get features overlapping an Ensembl gene by gene ID. Returns all genomic features co-located with the gene, including neighboring genes, overlapping transcripts, regulatory elements, and antisense transcripts. Useful for finding overlapping genes, identifying all transcript isoforms in a locus, or discovering regulatory features at a gene. Example: 'ENSG00000141510' (TP53) returns 2 overlapping genes (TP53 and WRAP53), 42 transcripts across 4 biotypes (protein_coding, nonsense_mediated_decay, retained_intron, protein_coding_CDS_not_defined), and 9 regulatory features.
