The Ensembl Genomes project produces genome databases for important species from across the taxonomic range, using the Ensembl software system. Five sites are now available: Ensembl Bacteria, Ensembl Protists, Ensembl Metazoa, Ensembl Plants and Ensembl Fungi. These new sites complement the existing Ensembl site, with its focus on vertebrate genomes.
Ensembl Genomes data is available through many of the same routes as Ensembl data. Data can be accessed via:
- A web browser (http://metazoa.ensembl.org)
- BioMarts (query optimised data warehouses) constructed for each of the Ensembl Genomes sites
- FTP (ftp.ensemblgenomes.org/pub)
- The Ensembl Genomes public mysql server (mysql.ebi.ac.uk:4157:anonymous).
- Using the Ensembl API.
