We are pleased to announce that Ensembl Rapid Release 40 with 94 new genomes is now live! With Rapid Release 40, we also introduce the first of many invertebrate-themed Ensembl Rapid Releases. The inaugural theme has an emphasis on scientific advancements in global food security. We have added 21 agriculturally significant insect species, which include organisms viewed as priorities in the pursuit of boosting fundamental biological understanding and insights into biological control mechanisms, both indispensable to increase global food production and availability.

Global biodiversity projects, including the Darwin Tree of Life project, are producing a large number of high-quality genome assemblies. At Ensembl our goal is to generate high quality, evidence-based gene annotations for all high-quality assemblies, using the latest software components to ensure a continued high standard of genome annotation, even when the available data are limited.
