Ensembl: Current, complete and consistent annotation of large scale genome sequence. (360G-Wellcome-062023_A_00_B)

£4,050,872

Ensembl will provide a data resource to enable the biological research community to use effectively the human genome sequence and other large genome sequences. By using a wide variety of automated methods and incorporating and/or linking to other data sources it will maintain an annotated version of genome sequence that stays up to date and is coupled to sequence search servers and maps. In particular, as far as possible, we aim to identify and annotate all genes. The data will be analysed using computational methods from many sources and will be integrated via a modular, documented Perl and Java object layer that accesses an underlying relational database. All data will be freely available via the web and bulk download, and software will be open source. We will coordinate closely with other public domain systematic annotation efforts in particular NCBI, supporting exchange of information and interchange of identifiers.
