[ensembl-dev] Ensembl Genomes release announcement

[Koul, Sunita]

Thanks Bert
I wanted to check which minor release of hg19 is  the annotation based on.
The latest release I believe is hg19.11

Thanks
Sunita

Hello Sunita,

Human is part of Ensembl (which contains the genomes of vertebrates), not Ensembl Genomes (which contains the genomes of invertebrates, plants, fungi, protists and bacteria).

Currently the annotation for human in Ensembl is based on the GRCh37 assembly (or in UCSC speak "hg19").

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Bert

Programmatic access is available through the Perl and RESTful Ensembl APIs, and through publicly accessible mysql databases. Full data dumps such as DNA sequence and protein sequence in FASTA format, annotations in GTF format, and mysql dump files are also provided on our FTP sites.

This is known as Pan-taxonomic Compara and can be visualised in the gene views on the browser or accessed through the Compara database.
