What's New in Release 40

Did you know...?

The Track Hub Registry

You can search the Track Hub Registry to find more than 3,500 public RNA-Seq studies aligned to plants (read more)!

  • New genomes
    • Release 40 of Ensembl Plants will host the latest wheat assembly from the IWGSC (IWGSC RefSeq v1.0 and IWGSC RefSeq annotation v1.0). Current data includes:
      • The Axiom 820K SNP Array from CerealsDB.
      • EMS-induced mutations from sequenced TILLING populations (Kronos and Cadensa).
      • Assembly to assembly mapping and gene ID mapping to the previous TGAC v1 assembly and annotation.
      • Whole genome alignments to rice, brachypodium and barley.
    • This release will also bring in more sequenced plant genomes from INSDC using a 'direct import' method developed with ENA.
      If a plant genome is submitted to INSDC along with AGP and gene models, it can be added it to Ensembl Plants!
  • Updated genomes
  • Updated data
    • The updated genomes will include updated Whole Genome Alignments and Assembly To Assembly Mapping data.
    • Updated gene trees and homologies
    • Updated protein features
    • Updated BioMarts

Take a look here at the Bioinformatics for Plant Biology training course, which runs 6-9th November 2018 at EMBL-EBI in Hinxton, UK.

Application deadline is August 3rd 2018.

New wheat assembly

This release of Ensembl Plants hosts the latest wheat assembly from the IWGSC (RefSeq v1.0). Current data includes:

  • The IWGSC RefSeq v1.0 gene annotation.
  • Alignment of 98,270 high confidence genes from the TGACv1 annotation.
  • The Axiom 820K SNP Array from CerealsDB.
  • EMS-induced mutations from sequenced TILLING populations (Kronos and Cadensa).
  • Assembly to assembly mapping and gene ID mapping to the previous TGAC v1 assembly and annotation.
  • Whole genome alignments to rice, brachypodium and barley.
  • The TGACv1 assembly will still be availble via the Ensembl Plants archive site.

Polyploid View Enabled

Polyploid view for wheat has been enabled, allowing users to view alignments between the three wheat components simultaneously.

Funding

Ensembl Plants datasets are constructed in a direct collaboration with the Gramene resource, funded by the United States National Science Foundation award #1127112. Read more about our collaboration with Gramene.
