Special Notice – Ensembl Transition

Ensembl 116 and Ensembl Genomes 63 are the final releases on the current Ensembl site and platforms. 

All new data from this point will only be available through the new Ensembl site. In the next few months, the ensembl.org site will bring you to the site hosted on beta.ensembl.org. 

You will continue to have access to current Ensembl versions via Ensembl Archives, with the latest archives having extended tool support. The Ensembl USEast and Asia mirrors of the current main site will be retired over the transition period this summer.
