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
