All new data will be available on the new Ensembl site.* New flag - “Ensembl Canonical Extended" applied to human transcripts with extended 5' and 3' ends.* New pig breeds, cattle, and donkey genomes have been added.* The EPO-Extended comparative alignment now includes 30 pigs.* Duck, dromedary camel and Atlantic herring now have variation support.* Regulation data for Atlantic salmon has been updated.* All external references have been updated and InterProScan has been rerun on all species across Ensembl divisions.More release news on our blog## The New Ensembl SiteThe new Ensembl provides access to over 4700 genomes: http://beta.ensembl.orgThere are over 4100 animal, 470 plant, and 100 fungal genomes ready to explore. We provide pangenomes for many species including human (565 haplotypes), barley (69 cultivars), and pig (27 breeds).Genomes from projects such as Darwin Tree of Life, the Human Pangenome Reference Consortium, the Vertebrate Genomes Project and the European Reference Genome Atlas are regularly added.We are in the process of migrating our existing prokaryotic genomes, with a target of moving all ~36,000 by July 2026. Prokaryotic releases will be phased, with batches migrating from Feb 2026 onwards.From the summer of 2026, all new data will only be available through this new Ensembl site. Important info for programmatic access is available on this**Compare genes across species****Find SNPs and other variants for my gene****Gene expression in different tissues**](https://ensembl.org/info/website/gallery.html)Ensembl creates, integrates and distributes reference datasets and analysis tools that enable genomics. We are based at EMBL-EBI and our software and data are freely available.Our acknowledgements page includes a list of current and previous funding bodies.
