In the next release of Ensembl (Ensembl 96) we will remove our ontology database patching scripts from the main Ensembl repository.

There is now a dedicated module using the EBI OLS service to load Ensembl required ontologies. Considering this module is now in charge of loading the required data, the previous databases patches have been moved to the ols-ensembl-loader repository.

If you need to update your system with future patches, please now refer to the ols-ensembl-loader repository sql directory where files are already available.

Please contact the Ensembl Helpdesk if you have any questions or want to find out more about how this might affect your work.
