We released the new Ensembl mobile site in release 82 and it’s already being used by our communities. m.ensembl.org has a slim-line functionality, designed to be a quick reference tool for genes, variants and associated phenotypes.

We hope you will find this useful if, for example, you’re on your mobile device at a conference, or you’re having coffee with a colleague and want to quickly look up something.

Each page features a share button  , which gives you the option of posting the page to Facebook or Twitter, or emailing the URL to a colleague or even yourself so that you can explore the annotation in more detail on the desktop website when you get back to your computer.

Next time you are on the go, try m.ensembl.org out! If you have any feedback, please email helpdesk@ensembl.org to share your thoughts with us.
