Ensembl 115 has been released!
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.
