This talk is an introduction to the new Ensembl genome browser (beta.ensembl.org), which presents genomic features for approximately 3,000 species with a new user interface, including visualisation of genes and variants on the Human Pangenome Reference Consortium (HPRC) assemblies. Participants will have the opportunity to learn about the range of data currently available through the new platform, gain hands-on experience in navigating the new Ensembl website to retrieve and interpret data and think about how this data might be informative for their research.
