In July, we talked to Reham Fatima, a member of the Havana team. The Havana team carry out manual annotation on human, mouse, zebrafish and rat genomes. Reham has contributed to the MANE and GENCODE projects. Read more about Reham’s work at EMBL-EBI and what kind of cuisine she likes the most. You can also see some amazing photographs she has taken in her free time.

These releases are huge in many respects, so it was difficult to decide which news to put first! Let’s start with some exciting news from our annotators.Continue reading
Genomics gets global: Ensembl and the VGP
As the community’s capacity for genome sequencing expands, so do its ambitions. Recently, many exciting global genomics projects have been launched, including the Vertebrate Genomes Project (VGP), Darwin Tree of Life (DToL), Earth Biogenome Project EBP, i5K (insects) and 10KP (plants). Between them, they aim to sequence the genomes of every eukaryote on Earth, and Ensembl are excited to take on the annotation of some of those genomes.
Get involved in community gene annotation for Zymoseptoria tritici
If you work with Zymoseptoria tritici genes, we’re looking for your help. We need people to get involved with community annotation of genes.
