Some highlights of this release are: * Human: - Adding the third patch release for human assembly - Update to annotation incorporating the latest geneset from Havana. - Fresh import of dbSNP132, Allele Frequencies from 1000 genomes project, and other external sources - Incorporation of more ChIP-Seq data from ENCODE and Epigenomics Roadmap into the Regulatory Build * Mouse: - Update to annotation incorporating the latest geneset from Havana. * Other species: - Xenopus - update to a new assembly (4.2) - Patches to Panda, Rabbit and Marmoset - Update of Yeast variation and functional genomics databases * New species: - Gibbon (Nleu1.0). * Web features: - Support for BigWig format. - Searchable help and documentation.

Also, for protists, a complete new build for /Saccharomyces cerevisiae/ to reflect the latest assembly from SGD . * African rice genome, /Oryza glaberrima/, added to Ensembl Plants . * /Daphnia pulex, /the most common species of water flea and the first crustacean to be sequenced, has been added to Ensembl Metazoa /. /The /Anopheles gambiae /gene set has also been updated to reflect the latest Vectorbase release. // -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
