Genes and genomes at Ensembl
The Ensembl genome browser provides data on genes, variants, comparative genomics, and gene regulation for over 300 species. Its sister project, Ensembl Genomes (www.ensemblgenomes.org), consists of five sub-portals (bacteria, fungi, protists, plants, and invertebrate metazoa) which contain data for over 2,000 eukaryotic (including wheat, barley, tomato and brassicas) and over 30,000 prokaryotic genomes.
This webinar with Aleena Mushtaq (Ensembl Outreach Officer, EMBL-EBI), recorded on 4 October 2023, provides an introduction on how to use the Ensembl genome browser, navigate the website, and export data.
Learning outcomes:
By the end of this video you will be able to:
- Navigate Ensembl using the web browser platform
- View genomic regions and manipulate the view to add features
- Explore information about genes
If you are interested in processing genome data from your own research or in investigating data available at Ensembl, you can use various tool provided by Ensembl – Ensembl tools.
Ensembl also provides help and documentation useful for using the resource effectively – Ensembl help and documentation.
