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.

Have you tried the new @ensembl.org platform yet? Together with the team, we've put together this quick tour to give you a short introduction to the new Ensembl website for exploring genomes from across the tree of life: www.ebi.ac.uk/training/onl... Learning time: >30 minutes. 🧬🖥️📊🌱

Online tutorial from EMBL-EBI Training. Ensembl data platform: quick tour. Learning time 30 minutes.

Explore genes & transcripts with the @Ensembl Feature Explorer! Using human BRCA2 as an example, learn how to explore transcripts, exon structure & sequences, external references and orthologues across species. zurl.co/Q5YoZ #Ensembl #Genomics #Bioinformatics

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.

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

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

Due to a server issue our beta.ensembl.org site is currently unable to display genome data and search queries will fail. GraphQL data cannot be served right now too. We're working to fix this as quickly as possible. Thank you for your patience. 🛠️
