As of release 47 (October 2007), Ensembl fully supports 35 species, with preliminary support for six additional species. New species in the past year include platypus and horse. Major additions and improvements to Ensembl since our previous report include extensive support for functional genomics data in the form of a specialized functional genomics database, genome-wide maps of protein-DNA interactions and the Ensembl regulatory build; support for customization of the Ensembl web interface through the addition of user accounts and user groups; and increased support for genome resequencing. We have also introduced new comparative genomics-based data mining options and report on the continued development of our software infrastructure. Ensembl 2008.

Genome browsers such as Ensembl are needed to organize and depict this information in the context of the genome. Ensembl provides an open source gene set based on experimental evidence for over 30 species, the majority of which are vertebrates. Genes and annotation are accessible through the Ensembl browser (http://www.ensembl.org), and through direct queries of its databases using the Perl API (Application Programme Interface), MySQL or BioMart. 10.1093/bfgp/elm025 Genome browsing with Ensembl: a practical overview Giulietta Spudich Xose Fernandez-Suarez Ewan Birney doi:10.1093/bfgp/elm025 Brief Funct Genomic Proteomic (29 October 2007), elm025. 2007-11-01T09:20:11-00:00 2007 Brief Funct Genomic Proteomic elm025 no-tag
