by ·Comments Off on What’s coming in Ensembl 92 and Ensembl Genomes 39

Both Ensembl release 92 and Ensembl Genomes release 39 are scheduled for April 2018.

Included are new genomes and genebuilds (Goat, Zebrafish, Marmoset, Stalk-eyed fly and Waterflea) and a command line version of our new Linkage Disequilibrium tool.

Here are the highlights you can look forward to:
