Description
Kevin Howe and a large team of collaborators reported in 2020 the state of Ensembl, a genome browser and data resource focused on vertebrate species. Ensembl annotates genomes, marking where genes sit, how they are structured, and which elements regulate them. It also traces how genes evolved across species, so a finding in one animal can be compared with its counterpart in another.
The report describes the annotation work and data releases current at the time, and how the project shares them freely with the world. Ensembl is a daily tool for geneticists studying everything from human disease variants to wildlife conservation. This account shows the scale of the quiet work needed to keep genome data usable.
