Citing Ensembl

In case you liked to include a general reference to the Ensembl system in your work, we would like to recommend citing the most recent overview article. For more specialised aspects of our system further articles would be available from the list below.

As Ensembl is continuously producing new website and data releases, it is also important to include the version and release date when citing Ensembl (currently v[[SPECIESDEFS::ENSEMBL_VERSION]] - [[SPECIESDEFS::ARCHIVE_VERSION]]).
