The Ensembl project provides data sets resulting from an automated genome analysis and annotation process. In addition to Ensembl and EST gene sets, the project also provides other data sets on a genome-wide scale. More...
Ensembl offers you the ability to display your own data sets in the genome browser framework. You may also share your data source with others if you wish to do so.
You can display your own data in the following Ensembl views:
There are three main ways to display your own data:
The first two methods are only suitable for small datasets; a DAS server is more powerful and flexible. All the listed views support all three methods, except Karyoview, which currently does not support DAS.
Ensembl produces comparative genomics data using BlastZ-net, translated blat, MLAGAN and gene homology analysis. More...
The Ensembl project provides huge data sets. We aim however to also provide several routes of access to these data sets.
Entry Points - Ensembl data sets can be searched by various criteria. More...
Large-Scale Exports - Use BioMart our large-scale data mining tool for more advanced data queries. The tool goes way beyond the simple data sets we provide via the FTP site and you can export the data in HTML, Microsoft Excel and various text formats suitable for import into other database or analysis systems.

Small-Scale Exports - For each species Ensembl provides a dedicated ExportView page. This data display is especially designed for small-scale data exports in HTML, text or zipped format.
All data sets generated by the Ensembl project are freely available to download from the Ensembl FTP site. More...
Ensembl software is generally not released via the Ensembl FTP site, but can be obtained via anonymous access to our Concurrent Versions System (CVS) repository. Please see the Ensembl Software section for details on website and Perl API, as well as Java API installation. More...
