EditWe are an interdisciplinary and international team who create software and visualisations to help researchers and clinicians analyse and interpret of genomic data. Genomic data analysis plays a major role in addressing some of the biggest challenges facing our society including food security, climate change and an ageing population.
Our services are built on-top of the Ensembl platform, first released in 1999 in support of the human genome project. Ensembl tools and interfaces are available for use without restriction and we are passionate supporters of open source software.
Our team is made of software engineers, bioinformaticians, interdisciplinary-scientists, design and UX experts from around the world meaning we can develop excellent software at a rapid pace. We participate in world wide collaborations and host students and visitors from around the world. We also regularly participate in the Google Summer of Code program.
