Ensembl Genomes is a scientific project to provide genome-scale data from non-vertebrate species .[1] The project is run by the European Bioinformatics Institute, and was launched in 2009 using the Ensembl technology .[2] The main objective of the Ensembl Genomes database is to complement the main Ensembl database by introducing five additional web pages to include genome data for bacteria, fungi, invertebrate metazoa, plants, and protists.[3] For each of the domains, the Ensembl tools are available for manipulation, analysis and visualization of genome data.

Result page for a species search using Ensembl Genomes

Ensembl Genome allows to find genome data using gene name, gene symbol, accession number or the Variant ID. Genome search by species is also possible. Searching for a particular species using Ensembl Genomes redirects to a new page in which all the tools and information available for the species are shown. In general, each result page contains the following sections:

  • Genome Assembly
  • Comparative Genomics
  • Gene annotation
  • Variation


Current species

Collaborations

Ensembl Genomes continuously expands the annotation data through collaboration with other organisations involved in genome annotation projects and research. The following organisations are collaborators of Ensembl Genomes[4]:
