Ensembl browser workshop, Stella Maris College, 4-6 August 2021
04 Aug 2021 - Stella Maris College: Virtual
Work with the Ensembl Outreach team to get to grips with the Ensembl browser, accessing gene, variation, comparative genomics and regulation data, and mine these data with BioMart.
ESHG W10: Using the Ensembl Variant Effect Predictor (VEP) to interrogate disease-associated variants
30 Aug 2021 - Virtual
This workshop will guide you through the Ensembl/GENCODE and MANE annotation process, allowing you to experience the challenges involved in annotation and transcript selection. You will also learn how to use the Ensembl VEP to map genetic variants onto Ensembl/GENCODE transcripts and other Ensembl annotation including regulatory regions and regions of evolutionary conservation to determine their likely functional effects and filter to prioritise variants.
AfSHG: Ensembl REST API workshop, 1 September 2021
01 Sep 2021 - Virtual
Work with Ensembl to familarise yourself with the Ensembl REST API for language agnostic programmatic access to Ensembl data.
Ensembl: EBI Tools for Biological Data Search and Analysis, Universidad de Los Andes
02 Sep 2021 - Virtual
Work with the Ensembl Outreach team to get to grips with the Ensembl genome browser.
Ensembl Virtual Browser Workshop, 7-9 September 2021
07 Sep 2021 - Virtual
Introductory workshop aimed at wet-lab scientists and bioinformaticians who are new to using Ensembl. Work with the Ensembl Outreach team to get to grips with the Ensembl browser, accessing gene, variation, comparative genomics and regulation data, and mine these data with BioMart

Bioinformatics resources for Immunologists: Ensembl regulation resources
30 Sep 2021 - Virtual
An introduction to the Ensembl regulatory build and methods to access genomic regulation data using the Ensembl genome browser
ASHG 2021 Ancillary Workshop: Using the Ensembl genome browser to interrogate disease-associated variants
18 Oct 2021 - Virtual
Genetic variation between individuals results in a range of human phenotypes, from differences in the immune response against transmissible diseases, such as COVID-19, to rare developmental disorders. The Ensembl genome browser and Variant Effect Predictor (VEP) toolset allows fast and flexible interrogation and annotation of genetic variants to predict functional consequences in the context of the Ensembl/GENCODE and RefSeq genesets, allowing further variant filtering and prioritisation.
This virtual workshop will introduce you to the principles of interrogating variation data using the Ensembl genome browser. You will also learn how to use the Ensembl VEP to map genetic variants onto Ensembl/GENCODE transcripts and other annotation including the MANE Select and MANE Plus Clinical transcript sets, regulatory regions and regions of evolutionary conservation to determine their likely functional effects.
The workshop is aimed at new and existing Ensembl users, from the wet-lab, diagnostic and industry communities. There are no prerequisites for this workshop.
