Ensembl 104 and Ensembl Genomes 51 are out! This release features updates to human and mouse genes, GRCh37 variation and regulation, new assemblies and variation for vertebrates, new plant species and a large update of the available metazoa data. We also said bye-bye to clone-based gene names and welcomed the new Ensembl Canonical transcripts.

Update to the Ensembl Canonical transcript set
Upcoming Ensembl release 104 will bring an update to the Ensembl Canonical transcripts. The new Ensembl Canonical definition will prioritise well-supported biologically representative, highly expressed and highly conserved transcripts. MANE Select will be used as the canonical transcript for human protein coding genes where available.
