Ensembl genome browser 113
Ensembl is a genome browser for vertebrate genomes that supports research in comparative genomics, evolution, sequence variation and transcriptional regulation. Ensembl annotate genes, computes multiple alignments, predicts regulatory function and collects disease data. Ensembl tools include BLAST, BLAT, BioMart and the Variant Effect Predictor (VEP) for all supported species.

Website Key Features
Genome Browser
A graphical interface to browse genomes, view gene annotations, and explore genomic data.
Comparative Genomics
Tools and data for comparing genomes across species to understand evolutionary relationships and functional genomics.
Sequence Variation
Access to data on genetic variation across populations, including SNPs, indels, and structural variants.
Transcriptional Regulation
Information on gene expression regulation, including transcription factor binding sites and regulatory elements.
BioMart
A data mining tool that allows users to extract complex datasets from the Ensembl databases.
Variant Effect Predictor (VEP)
A tool to predict the functional effects of genetic variants on genes, transcripts, and protein sequence, as well as regulatory regions.
BLAST
A tool for comparing primary biological sequence information, such as the amino-acid sequences of proteins or the nucleotides of DNA sequences.
BLAT
The BLAST-Like Alignment Tool, which is used to find sequences of 95% and greater similarity of mRNA and proteins within the genome.
Data Export
Options to export data in various formats for further analysis or integration with other tools.
API Access
