What's New in Ensembl 34

    • New expression pattern data

      New links to expression pattern data in ZFIN:

      • New dna_align_feature entries corresponding to the probes used in in-situ hybridisation experiments
      • New xrefs linking genes to ZFIN expression patterns
    • Compara database
      • Addition of pairwise (Translated BLAT) Mouse/Fugu
      • Addition of multiple alignments (Mercator/Mlagan) Human/Mouse/Rat/Dog
    • Display of regulatory factors

      A new dynamic page, GeneRegulationView, displays all the regulatory factors for a given gene; it can be reached via the lefthand menu on a GeneView page where the gene has regulatory information available.

    • News archive

      "What's New" items from releases prior to the new website design have been imported into the database, and can now be accessed through a new dynamic page, NewsView.

    • Species statistics

      The statistics table on each species home page now shows the correct date of the last full genebuild, rather than the date of the last database update.

About the Zebrafish genome

ZebrafishThe zebrafish genome project is a collaboration between the Sanger Institute and the zebrafish community, announced during the Sanger Institute Zebrafish Workshop 2000 and was started in February 2001.

Assembly

This Ensembl website features the zebrafish assembly version 5 (Zv5), as released on the 27th May 2005. This assembly was produced by integrating the whole genome shotgun assembly with data from the physical map (more information).

Datasets used for the analyses that were provided by collaborators are acknowledged here.

The zebrafish sequencing project is funded by the Wellcome Trust.

You may export data from this site. Please see the Conditions of use for these data.

Annotation

This site provides a full Ensembl gene set for Zv5. This release is based on a strategy where transcripts are generated based on protein evidence and clustered in genes. Aligned zebrafish cDNA are used to add UTR regions. Genes are named based on the alignment of their coding regions to known entries in public database, in this process ZFIN genes have priority.

A number of Zebrafish clones have also been manually annotated in Vega, these genes are currently accessible in zebrafish Ensembl through a DAS track.
