Ensembl 100 has been released!
We are very excited to announce the release of Ensembl 100, along with Ensembl Genomes 47! Time has really flown for us. We moved from our beginnings as a browser with just one genome 20 years ago to an integrated resource for many species and data types in 2020. In this release we continue to scale up, bringing you 29 new genomes and a lot more.

The Ensembl VEP does not only allow you to annotate short variants, such as SNPs and short insertions or deletions, but also some types of structural variants.
What’s coming in Ensembl 100 / Ensembl Genomes 47
Can you believe it? Our next release will be Ensembl 100! We are planning to release it along with Ensembl Genomes 47 at the end of April 2020. As with all releases, please note that these are intentions and are not guaranteed to make it into the releases.

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
Ensembl 95 is out!
The latest version of Ensembl, release 95, is out. This release brings a brand new human regulatory build for GRCh37 and GRCh38, incorporating new data from the ENCODE and Roadmap epigenomics project, plus an update to the mouse GENCODE gene set. We’ve also got a whole host of new vertebrate species, updated genome assemblies for some important agricultural species and the brand new protein structure viewer.
What’s coming in Ensembl 95 / Ensembl Genomes 42
We’re planning to release the next versions of Ensembl and Ensembl Genomes in December.
We’ve got some exciting new genomes, including polar bear, as well as updated genome assemblies for three important agricultural species. We’ve also got a new regulatory build for the human GRCh38 and GRCh37 assemblies and a brand new protein structure variation view.
Cool stuff the VEP can do: normalisation
One of the biggest headaches when working with insertions and deletions is how many different ways you can represent the same variant. If you’re looking to find out if there’s already known allele frequencies or phenotypes at a locus, you want to make sure that you find the right one. The VEP can take that headache away through normalisation of variants.
