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 ⚙️
Due to a server issue, Ensembl tools are currently down. This affects tools such as BLAST and Ensembl VEP, on both new and legacy Ensembl sites. New jobs will not start and currently running jobs will fail.
Fixes are in progress.Thank you for your patience in this regard.
Ensembl transition update - the Ensembl USEast and Asia mirrors are now retired. Both addresses will continue to work, but will serve content from the Ensembl 116 archive. For BioMart, update host config to use the e116 archive directly. Blog here - zurl.co/SbFuP
Are you attending #ASHG2026? Come visit booth 306, give our @impc, @GWASCatalog and #Ensembl quiz a go, win prizes and talk to our colleagues!

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/…

Ensembl is moving this week! 🧬 Links will point you to the new Ensembl. The default site will be ensembl.org for all species from across the tree of life. We’re starting with the Ensembl Genomes sites, and we’ll end with the Ensembl 116 site.
Explore genomes with the new Ensembl Data Platform!
In this demo, see how to:

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.
