We’re planning to release Ensembl 103 in February 2021. We’ve got lots of plans, although we can’t guarantee everything will make it into the release.
Mouse
- The new mouse genome assembly, GRCm39
- The mouse strains alignment will be recalculated as EPO using the new assembly.
Human
- Some transcripts will be labelled as MANE Plus Clinical. More details here.
- dbSNP variants in our GRCh38 database will be updated to version 154.
- New allele frequency data from the GEM-J panel will be displayed in both our GRCh37 and GRCh38 browser views .
- The Regulatory build will be updated including additional annotation on Y
- Publication data from the Mastermind Genomic Search Engine will be made available on the Ensembl VEP web and REST interfaces.

Other
- Our Variant Recoder tool will be updated to report allele-specific matches, rather than variant-specific matches. This requires a change to the format of the response from the REST service. A simple to use online interface will also be released.
- Removal of the RDF data dumps from the FTP site
