[ensembl-dev] Ensembl release 72 is out!

[Thibaut Hourlier]

Hi Hiram,
We have added mitochondrion to several species which means that we have added 37 genes and the mitochondrial sequence. Therefore we had to update the genebuild.last_geneset_update meta_key.
Here are the species:
	• Alpaca
	• C.savignyi
	• Dolphin
	• Hedgehog
	• Hyrax
	• Lamprey
	• Lesser hedgehog tenrec
	• Medaka
	• Pika
	• Platyfish
	• Tarsier
	• Tree Shrew
	• Xenopus

Hope this helps
Thibaut
