BIOINFORMATICS ANALYSIS: BASIC FEATURES OF ENSEMBL GENOME BROWSER

ENSEMBL GENOME BROWSER

ENSEMBL provides a genome browser that acts as a single point of access to annotated genomes for mainly vertebrate species.As in this tutorial I have explained some of the basic features of ENSEMBL.

Please watch the video

Ensembl contains information on chordate genomes, including human, mouse, rat, zebrafish, panda, and takifugu.

BASIC FEATURES OF ENSEMBL:

1. Information such as gene sequence, splice variants and further annotation can be retrieved at the genome, gene and protein level.
2. This includes information on protein domains, genetic variation, homology, syntenic regions and regulatory elements.
3. Coupled with analyses such as whole genome alignments and effects of sequence variation on protein, this powerful tool aims to describe a gene or genomic region in detail.
