Ensembl Genomes

The Ensembl genome annotation system, developed jointly by the EBI and the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, has been used for the annotation, analysis and display of vertebrate genomes since 2000. Since 2009, the Ensembl site has been complemented by the creation of five new sites, for bacteria, protists, fungi, plants and invertebrate metazoa, enabling users to use a single collection of (interactive and programatic) interfaces for accessing and comparing genome-scale data from species of scientific interest from across the taxonomy. In each domain, we aim to bring the integrative power of Ensembl tools for comparative analysis, data mining and visualisation across genomes of scientific interest, working in collaboration with scientific communities to improve and deepen genome annotation and interpretation.

自2000年起，由欧洲生物信息学研究所（EBI）与Wellcome Trust Sanger研究所共同开发的Ensembl基因组注释系统，已被广泛应用于脊椎动物基因组的注释、分析和展示。自2009年起，Ensembl网站得以补充，新增了五个针对细菌、原生生物、真菌、植物和无脊椎动物门类元动物的网站，使用户能够通过单一的数据集（交互式及程序化）接口，访问并比较来自分类学各领域、具有科学价值的物种的基因组规模数据。在每个领域，我们的目标是整合Ensembl工具的比较分析、数据挖掘和可视化功能，针对具有科学价值的基因组进行深入研究和解释，并与科学界携手合作，不断提升和深化基因组注释与解读。
