Ensembl .Whilst the primary goal of this website is to display the automated predictions generated by our software pipeline, we have also made additional background information available for users who are interested in the annotation process and related projects at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute.
Ensembl Gene Set - The Ensembl genome browser provides a non-redundant set of transcripts and genes annotated with the automated Ensembl genome analysis and annotation pipeline. More...
CCDS - The CCDS project is a collaborative effort to identify a core set of protein-coding regions that are consistently annotated and of high quality. More...
Gene-building on the 2x genomes - The influx of low-coverage genomes has presented a particular challenge to the Ensembl genebuild process, and a new methodology has been developed to cope with this type of assembly. More...
Exonerate - Exonerate is a generic tool for pairwise sequence comparison. It allows you to align sequences using many alignment models, using either exhaustive dynamic programming, or a variety of heuristics. More...
Wise 2 - Wise2 is a package focused on comparisons of biopolymers, commonly DNA sequence and protein sequence. Algorithms in this package include genewise and estwise. More...
Comparative Genomics tools - Ensembl uses a range of software tools, many developed in-house, to align sequence from different species and identify homologues, syntenous regions and conserved areas of the genome. More...
Microarray Probe Set Mapping - Ensembl maps microarray probe sets to the genome sequence and to Ensembl transcripts if manufacturers provide sequences evidence for individual probe sets. More...
BAC Clone Ordering - The Ensembl project provides genome annotation and visualisation of the annotated genomes. Ensembl however does not directly sequence or assemble genomes nor does it provide clones. Bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) clones can be ordered from other sources. More...
Gene Trap Resource - A major goal in functional genomics is to elucidate the function of each of the 30,000 or so genes in the mammalian genome. Gene trapping in mouse embryonic stem cells is a powerful and cost-effective approach to create large numbers of insertional mutations in mice that are immediately accessible to molecular characterisation. More...
MICER - The aim of the Mutagenic Insertion and Chromosome Engineering Resource (MICER) is to provide vector sequences and information on using MICER vectors for generating knockout mice, and for chromosome engineering. More...
NOD BAC clones - The non-obese diabetic (NOD) mouse is a model for diabetes. More...
