We’re pleased to announce the release of Ensembl 99, and the corresponding release of Ensembl Genomes 46. Along with updates of human gene annotation and variation data, we have a menagerie of new and updated vertebrate species in Ensembl plus a whole set of new plants, mosquitos and flies in Ensembl Genomes.

Release announcements for Ensembl and Ensembl Genomes
Changes in BioMart species support
As Ensembl continues to rapidly grow in terms of the number of supported species, we continually assess our provided resources effectively match the scientific needs of the researchers using them.
In order to maintain our BioMart service at its current performance level, we will be making changes to data availability in BioMart starting with the upcoming e99 release.
What’s coming up in Ensembl release 99?
Ensembl 99 (and Ensembl Genomes 46) are due out in December and we plan to include a bumper set of new and updated species. As with all releases, we cannot guarantee that anything listed here will make it into the final release.
Ensembl 98 has been released!
We’re pleased to announce the release of Ensembl 98, and the corresponding Ensembl Genomes release 45. We have a new Post-GWAS Analysis tool and a drove of pig and fish genomes.
Coming soon to an Ensembl near you: dbSNP 2.0
NCBI has announced big changes to how dbSNP manages human variation data, which will be reflected in Ensembl. These changes include a new allele normalisation approach and the removal of some older population genetics data.
What’s coming up in Ensembl release 98?
Ensembl 98 (and Ensembl Genomes 45) are due out next month, so it’s time to pig-out on the tasty morsels we have to offer. As with all releases, we cannot guarantee that anything listed here will make it into the final release.
Retirement of Ensembl archive 76
The archive website for Ensembl 76 will be retired with the release of Ensembl 98 in the Autumn. This is inline with our rolling retirement policy, where archives are retired after five years, unless they contain the last instance of an important dataset for a key species.
The database will still be available for direct queries and on our FTP site.
Ensembl 97 and Ensembl Genomes 44 have been released!
Ensembl 97 and Ensembl Genomes 44 have been released! In this release you’ll find many new species, including some hybrid livestock, as well as important changes to gene sets for human and mouse and a new update to the human Regulatory Build.
Read on to explore the full details.
What’s coming in Ensembl 97 & Ensembl Genomes 44
Both Ensembl release 97 and Ensembl Genomes release 44 are scheduled for mid- to late-June.
Included are a number of new livestock, fish, metazoan, plant, and protist genomes and genebuilds, as well as updates to the mouse and human GENCODE annotation and the human regulatory build.
Read on to see further details of the new data you can look forward to.
Ensembl 96 and Ensembl Genomes 43 are out!
These releases are huge in many respects, so it was difficult to decide which news to put first! Let’s start with some exciting news from our annotators.Continue reading
