We are pleased to announce the release of Ensembl 115, and the corresponding release of Ensembl Genomes 62. In this release – around 121,000 new protein-coding transcripts have been added to the GRCh38 human reference gene set. Two new breeds of cattle are now available (UOA_Tuli_1 and UOA_Wagyu_1) and the sheep reference has been updated to ARS-UI_Ramb_v3.0. Seven new plant species have been added: four oats, two garden peas, and one lablab bean. We have also added two new export modes for Newick trees which help to avoid stable ID clashes.

As of Ensembl 110 / Ensembl Genomes 57, gene trees within Ensembl Metazoa have been expanded to cover 275 species by dividing them into 3 taxonomic clade sets: Metazoa, Protostomia, and Insecta. In addition, the release and update frequency of metazoan gene trees will change, with Metazoa and Protostomia being updated in every even-numbered release and Insecta being updated in every odd-numbered release. Read on to find out more about this update.
