And this year a sneaky visit to the zooโฆ Really worth it!
Another amazing #PAG33 closing up. Lots of amazing talks and people.
Cynthia Webster explains how Easel and EnTaP work for structural and functional genome annotation. Btw, Easel was our inspiration for the HC pipeline in Tiberius. #PAG33
How can animal genomics communities coordinate data resources? Garth Ilsley presents with highlights from the FAANG and Ensembl Regulation data portals #PAG33
Josรฉ Pรฉrez-Silva @jgperezsilva.bsky.social presents on gene annotation methods used by Ensembl at #PAG33
If you're in sunny San Diego for #PAG33, join us at our workshop, โIntegrated Genome Resources at EMBL-EBIโ, to learn more about our exciting new features and data resources for genomics and pangenomics!
It's on Sunday 11 January from 8:00โ 12:00, we hope to see you there!
March: ๐ท Tracing the routes of Indian Pigs ๐ท
India is a domestication center for pigs. Analysis of 239 mitochondrial genomes reveals: an independent domestication in North India & genetic ties of Indian island pigs to Vietnam

Weโre thrilled to announce that the EMBL-EBI Thornton Building has been officially opened by Lord Vallance of Balham, the UKโs Minister for Science, Research and Innovation.
We hope it will be a space where collaboration, translation, and science can thrive! ๐ฑ
I love coming to campus on days like this. Cold sunny weather is my soft spot.
Frosty wintery scene. An oak tree in a field. Everything else is obscured by mist
The Wellcome Genome Campus was in the clouds this morning

Even in a gloomy day, a walk round campus if filled with beautiful scenes and peaceful corners.
Just what you need before diving back into annotation pipelines!
#welcomeGenomeCampus #hinxton
A new release packed with #livestock and companion animals!
๐ฎNew #cattle reference (ARS-UCD2.0)!
๐๐ Two new #sheep breeds (Ujimqin, and new texel)!
๐ฑ And a new #cat!
And that's not going into murine genomes, regulation and variation data or comparative analysis!
It's almost here! ๐
After more than 3 years annotating genomes at Ensemble, I can say that Iโm proud to be part of such an incredible team, with so many people working hard on advancing genomics (for a quarter of a century now!!!).
