[ensembl-dev] Referring to a specific gene build

[Emily Pritchard]

Hi Mick

You refer to the assembly by its official name, which for Pig would be 
Sscrofa10.2, this states that it's release 10 of the assembly, version 2 
of the patches. For the genebuild itself, you can put the dates in if 
you like, or you can just refer to Ensembl version 71, which your 
readers can find through our archive sites in future. At the bottom of 
the Annotation page, there is a link which says "Permanent link", which 
will give you a link which will always take you back to this version of 
the page, so you can include that too.

Hope this helps

Emily
