Key Highlights
  • About the Ensembl Project photo The Ensembl project was started in 1999, some years before the draft human genome was completed
  • Even at that early stage it was clear that manual annotation of 3 billion base pairs of sequence would not be able to offer researchers timely access to the latest data
  • The goal of Ensembl was therefore to automatically annotate the genome, integrate this annotation with other available biological data and make all this publicly available via the web
Ideal For
  • Researchers and lab managers adopting Ensembl
  • Educators curating life science learning paths
  • BioTech founders evaluating growth-ready tooling
