Querying the 3' UTR region of Ensembl using Python

Question

[jacksparrow]

I'm kinda new to biopython and I was wondering If I had sequences(s) in fasta format on my computer, is it possible to use python to search for exact matches on ensembl in the 3' UTR region?

Any help would be appreciated.

It might be easier to manually get the 3' UTR sequence from Biomart and then use that with biopython (perhaps there are biopython functions to query biomart, but I'm not familiar with them). The exact matching can be done as in this tutorial example.

I'm sorta looking for a direct way rather than taking the longer route.

Thanks for the tutorial.
