What you can do:

Find genome annotation, databases and other information for chordate and selected model organism and disease vector genomes.

Highlights:

Ensembl integrates genomic information for a comprehensive set of chordate genomes with a particular focus on resources for human, mouse, rat, zebrafish and other high-value sequenced genomes.
It provides complete gene annotations for all supported species in addition to specific resources that target genome variation, function and evolution.
Ensembl data is accessible in a variety of formats including via our genome browser, API and BioMart.
This year marks the tenth anniversary of Ensembl and in that time the project has grown with advances in genome technology.
As of release 56 (September 2009), Ensembl supports 51 species including marmoset, pig, zebra finch, lizard, gorilla and wallaby, which were added in the past year.
Major additions and improvements to Ensembl since our previous report include the incorporation of the human GRCh37 assembly, enhanced visualisation and data-mining options for the Ensembl regulatory features and continued development of our software infrastructure.
