Ensembl is a genome browser for vertebrate genomes that supports research in comparative genomics, evolution, sequence variation and transcriptional regulation. Ensembl annotate genes, computes multiple alignments, predicts regulatory function and collects disease data. Ensembl tools include BLAST, BLAT, BioMart and the Variant Effect Predictor (VEP) for all supported species.

Ensembl Release 110 (July 2023)

  • The human genome assembly has been updated to the latest patch release GRCh38.p14
  • Regulatory annotation annotation of open chromatin regions and promoters in pig, chicken, Atlantic salmon, turbot, and European seabass has been added (a collaboration with the GENE-SWitCH and AQUA-FAANG consortia)
  • Three rat strains have been added: SHR/Utx RGD_8142385, WKY/Bbb RGD_1581635 and SHRSP/BbbUtx
  • MANE and Ensembl canonical transcript attributes to be added as tags in GFF3 files
