[ensembl-dev] VEP unable to connect to Ensembl Genomes

Hi Nikolas,

We are currently maintaining 3 releases worth of databases on the 
dedicated GRCh37 MySQL server.
As 81 was released yesterday, 78 has now been removed.
You can still access releases 79, 80 and 81 for the GRCh37 assembly.


Hope this helps,
Magali
