ASHG: Using the new Ensembl genome browser and Variant Effect Predictor (VEP) to analyse and interpret genomic variation data

05 Nov 2024 - Denver

This workshop will guide you through the Ensembl/GENCODE and MANE genesets and how to use the new Ensembl genome browser (https://beta.ensembl.org/) and Ensembl VEP to annotate and prioritise genetic variants in the context of the human reference genome assemblies and human pangenomes.

Exploring the new Ensembl Genome Browser to retrieve genomic data – ISCB-LATAM SolBio CCBCOL 2024

07 Nov 2024 - Virtual

This online tutorial 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.
