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.

- Integration of lncRNA transcripts from the Capture Long-read Sequencing (CLS) project
- Additional breeds available for Capra hircus (Goat), Ovis aries (Sheep), and Sus scrofa (Pig)
- Ensembl VEP now supports the GENCODE Primary transcript set
- Regulatory annotation updates for Homo sapiens (Human) and Mus musculus (Mouse)

Ensembl Rapid Release
New assemblies with gene and protein annotation every two weeks.
Note: species that already exist on this site will continue to be updated with the full range of annotations.
The Ensembl Rapid Release website provides annotation for recently produced, publicly available vertebrate and non-vertebrate genomes from biodiversity initiatives such as Darwin Tree of Life, the Vertebrate Genomes Project and the Earth BioGenome Project.
