We are pleased to announce the availability of BioMarts for the fourth
release of Ensembl Genomes. Ensembl Genomes is a companion project to
Ensembl designed to provide access to genome scale data for non-chordate
species of scientific interest.
Features of the new release include the addition of new databases for
the bread mould Neurospora crassa to the Ensembl Fungi division, the
slime mould Dictyostelium discoideum (built with the assistance of
dictyBase) to Ensembl Protists, and the body louse Pediculus humanus
(containing data provided by VectorBase) to Ensembl Metazoa.
The release also includes new variation data for Drosophila melanogaster
(using data from the Drosophila Population Genomics Project) and
Plasmodium falciparum; the update of existing variation data for
Arabidopsis thaliana and Vitis vinifera in Ensembl Plants; and the
addition of three new clades to Ensembl Bacteria.
