Ensembl has moved! We are ahead of schedule and all sites now point to the new Ensembl at ensembl.org. It is a major milestone in our 26 year long project! 🧬🧬🧬 Refresh your browser cache for our sites if you find an error this week ⚙️
For users of our new FTP space: ftp.ebi.ac.uk/pub/ensemblorg… - reminder that we are retiring the species name based directory structure this week! More info on our blog ensembl.info/2026/10/08/reti…
Ensembl archive sites are currently under very heavy load, causing failures and slow performance. Sorry for the disruptions, we're working on it. Workaround for Ensembl 116 (June 2026): use the Ensembl 115 (Sep 2025) archive instead - sep2025.archive.ensembl.org/…

AlphaGenome Variant Impact (AVI) scores, developed by Google DeepMind, predict how likely variants across the whole human genome are to impact gene regulation.
AVI scores are available in the Ensembl Variant Effect Predictor to enable easy access into variant analysis workflows.
The new Ensembl VEP web interface just got upgraded for human GRCh38 variants! Add scores from AlphaMissense, REVEL, CADD, and SpliceAI. Link gnomAD frequencies, ClinVar & GWAS Catalog phenotypes to your data. Try it at- ensembl.org/tools/vep

The annual DECIPHER user survey is now available ! Please, help us to improve DECIPHER by taking 5 minutes to answer. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F…
This is a new survey so don’t hesitate to answer it even if you had completed it last year.
We're making some changes to our new Ensembl site in the lead up to transition! Two apps have been renamed: Species selector is now Genome selector; Entity viewer is now Feature explorer.
Any saved links still work - so no worries for your bookmarked genomes and genes. 🧬

NMD predictions have been updated. The first 200bp of coding nucleotides on the protein browser are now highlighted as predicted to escape the NMD: 100-200bp shaded in light grey to reflect the evidence of gradual decrease in NMD inhibition in this region #VariantClassification

New Ensembl FTP users, heads up!
The FTP structure for the new site has been updated.
The species name-based structure will be retired in August 2026. Overlap dumps are provided to help while you rework existing pipelines.
