Database update reveals enhanced genomic annotations in vertebrate and viral genomes, highlighting accelerated data release for biodiversity and pandemic response.

Key Points

To present updates to the Ensembl infrastructure, including new web portals and tools designed to accelerate genomic data dissemination for biodiversity and pandemic research.
Generated detailed annotations for vertebrate genomes, encompassing gene structures, regulatory elements, sequence variants, and comparative evolutionary histories.
Engineered the Ensembl Rapid Release platform to service large-scale biodiversity sequencing projects and constructed a dedicated SARS-CoV-2 genome browser integrating public genomic resources.
Maintained and updated comprehensive core genomic resources, programmatic interfaces, and specialized toolsets such as the Ensembl Variant Effect Predictor.
Delivered open-access, unrestricted infrastructure through specialized portals to expedite public access to newly sequenced species and aid international scientific responses to COVID-19.
