Ensembl 86 is scheduled for September 2016, highlights include:
New mouse strains
- Annotated genome assemblies, variation data and comparative analyses of 16 different mouse strains will be included in Ensembl 86.
Updated assemblies, gene sets and annotations
- Human: updated cDNA alignments and RefSeq import
- Mouse: updated cDNA alignments and RefSeq import
- Zebrafish: updated gene set and RefSeq import
- Chicken: updating to the Galgal_5.0 assembly
- Mouse lemur: updating to the Mmur_2.0 assembly
- Macaque: updating to the Mmul_8.0.1 assembly
New lincRNA data
- LincRNA data will be available for the anole lizard, flycatcher and cave fish.
New GRCh37 tools converted from 1000 Genomes Project
A number of tools previously developed for use in the 1000 Genomes Project browser have now been converted for use with the GRCh37 assembly in Ensembl:
- Dataslicer tool- This tool allows you to get a subset of data from a BAM or VCF file.
- Variation pattern finder tool- This tool allows you to identify variation patterns in a chromosomal region of interest for different individuals.
- Forge analysis tool- This tool takes a list of variants and analyses their enrichment in functional regions from the ENCODE or Roadmap Epigenome project on a tissue specific basis.
Other updates and highlights
- Variation and phenotype databases updates
