Such a pleasure visiting @uenr830gh in Sunyani 🇬🇭 Students explored genomes and genes in the new Ensembl Genome Data Platform, from human genomics to mosquito genes and microbial resistance genes. Thanks to Prof Timmy Donkoh and Abdul Raji for championing bioinformatics! 🧬

Due to a server issue, Ensembl tools are currently down. This affects tools such as BLAST and Ensembl VEP, on both new and legacy Ensembl sites. New jobs will not start and currently running jobs will fail. Fixes are in progress.Thank you for your patience in this regard.

Ensembl transition update - the Ensembl USEast and Asia mirrors are now retired. Both addresses will continue to work, but will serve content from the Ensembl 116 archive. For BioMart, update host config to use the e116 archive directly. Blog here - zurl.co/SbFuP

Are you attending #ASHG2026? Come visit booth 306, give our @impc-phenotypes.bsky.social, @gwascatalog.bsky.social and #Ensembl quiz a go, win prizes and talk to our colleagues!

For users of our new FTP space: ftp.ebi.ac.uk/pub/ensemblo... - reminder that we are retiring the species name based directory structure this week! More info on our blog www.ensembl.info/2026/10/08/r...

We are at EuropeanResearchersNight @embl.org An evening for all ages to meet researchers from different fields, try hands-on science (Including a coding workshop!) and see how research shapes our daily lives and our future. #STEM #EMBL

Ensembl archive sites are currently under very heavy load, causing failures and slow performance. Sorry for the disruptions, we're working on it. Workaround for Ensembl 116 (June 2026): use the Ensembl 115 (Sep 2025) archive instead - sep2025.archive.ensembl.org/index.html

AlphaGenome Variant Impact (AVI) scores, developed by Google DeepMind, predict how likely variants across the whole human genome are to impact gene regulation. AVI scores are available in the Ensembl Variant Effect Predictor to enable easy access into variant analysis workflows.

The new Ensembl VEP web interface just got upgraded for human GRCh38 variants! Add scores from AlphaMissense, REVEL, CADD, and SpliceAI. Link gnomAD frequencies, ClinVar & GWAS Catalog phenotypes to your data. Try it at- ensembl.org/tools/vep  Blog- www.ensembl.info/2026/09/04/n...

Want a quick tour of the new Ensembl? Check out our new material on the EMBL-EBI Training site! It's free to access - give it a try and see what genomes are available on Ensembl now. 🧬

Every rare disease diagnosis relies on open data most people never see. Our new impact report explores how Genomics England's sequencing pipeline depends on EMBL-EBI’s open data resources. 🖥️🧬 s.embl.org/EMBL-EBI-202... @genomicsengland.bsky.social @ensembl.org

Ensembl has moved! We are ahead of schedule and all sites now point to the new Ensembl at ensembl.org. It is a major milestone in our 26 year long project! 🧬🧬🧬 Refresh your browser cache for our sites if you find an error this week ⚙️

Ensembl is moving this week! 🧬 Links will point you to the new Ensembl. The default site will be ensembl.org for all species from across the tree of life. We’re starting with the Ensembl Genomes sites, and we’ll end with the Ensembl 116 site.

Explore genomes with the new Ensembl Data Platform! In this demo, see how to: Select a genome Find information about your selected genome Watch the demo and start exploring: zurl.co/qtSwQ #Ensembl #Genomics #Bioinformatics

Big news for European biodiversity conservation. Three major scientific communities have signed a landmark agreement through the @biogeneurope.bsky.social (BGE+) project to build a continent-wide infrastructure for biodiversity genomics. www.embl.org/news/science... #biodiversity #EUPolicy

The annual DECIPHER user survey is now available ! Please, help us to improve DECIPHER by taking 5 minutes to answer. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F... This is a new survey so don’t hesitate to answer it even if you had completed it last year.

We're making some changes to our new Ensembl site in the lead up to transition! Two apps have been renamed: Species selector is now Genome selector; Entity viewer is now Feature explorer. Any saved links still work - so no worries for your bookmarked genomes and genes. 🧬

NMD predictions have been updated. The first 200bp of coding nucleotides on the protein browser are now highlighted as predicted to escape the NMD - 100-200bp is shaded in light grey to reflect the evidence of gradual decrease in NMD inhibition in this region #VariantClassification

DECIPHER version 11.40 has been released. See the new features at www.deciphergenomics.org #variantinterpretation

Join @training.ebi.embl.org webinar on 1 July: Transitioning to the new @ensembl.org platform for genome data and annotation. We will cover features in development and the access the current Ensembl site. Register: zurl.co/VNaw3 Qs?: zurl.co/asl8M #Genomics #Bioinformatics #Training

New Ensembl FTP users, heads up! 

The FTP structure for the new site has been updated. The species name-based structure will be retired in August 2026. Overlap dumps are provided to help while you rework existing pipelines. Read more on our blog: zurl.co/sSbPj

We’ve updated human variant pathogenicity predictions on #Ensembl 116, which now features #AlphaMissense and #ESM1b predictors across variant and transcript views, alongside a fix to improve #REVEL score accuracy. Read more in our blog: zurl.co/EoRmm

The #Ensembl Transition webinar series starts tomorrow. If you would like to know how the transition will affect you, please join us and the @training.ebi.embl.org team! Registration for each webinar is free but essential to secure your place: www.ebi.ac.uk/training/eve...
