Ensembl Genomes (non-chordates)

This course offered by the EMBL’s European Bioinformatics Institute provides a brief introduction to Ensembl Genomes, the non-chordate genome browser.

Ensembl Bacteria, Protists, Fungi, Plants and Metazoa (collectively, ‘Ensembl Genomes’) are five portals for genome-scale data, developed in close collaboration with scientific communities of experts in the biology of individual species. It provides a powerful and consistent set of interactive and programmatic interfaces for non-vertebrate genomes, including data on gene predictions, comparative analysis, variant annotation and transcriptomic alignments. 

By the end of the course you will be able to:

• Describe what Ensembl Genomes is and how it can help you to access and analyse genome-scale data
• Recall where to find out more about the Ensembl Genomes resource
