We are pleased to announce the release of Ensembl 113, and the corresponding release of Ensembl Genomes 60. This release brings major gene and regulatory feature annotation updates in Homo sapiens (Human) and Mus musculus (Mouse). We have updated existing genomes and added additional genomes across the different Ensembl sites, including livestock breeds in Ensembl, three new species in Ensembl Plants and 26 new species in Ensembl Metazoa. Can’t find the species you are looking for? Don’t forget that new and exciting genome assemblies and annotations are continuously added to Ensembl Rapid Release!

We have made a number of changes in Ensembl Compara Perl API and REST API endpoints. These changes allow Ensembl to handle non-unique member stable IDs when retrieving comparative genomics data via the APIs. These changes will come into effect in Ensembl release 110 and all old endpoints will be retired in release 112. Please continue reading if you regularly retrieve comparative genomics data via the Ensembl APIs.

Ensembl VEP maps your variants to genes but what do those genes do?
The Gene Ontology (GO) annotates genes with molecular function, the cellular location in which the gene product functions and the biological process in which the gene product is involved. In addition to phenotype association information, which is only available for a few genes, we now show GO annotations to help guide variant prioritisation by providing an indication of the functionality a variant may affect.
