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@ensembl· 15d

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.
