All comparative genomics tools and views will now include these species, and microarray probe mappings have been added.
Updates to other species:
- Updated cat genome assembly, Felis catus v8.0.
- The Ensembl-HAVANA GENCODE gene setupdate for mouse (vM16).
- Updated annotation for Fruitfly (dmel_r6.17) from the FlyBase release FB2017_04 and C. elegans from WormBase release WS260.
New tool: Linkage Disequilibrium Calculator
A new tool is now available for calculating linkage disequilibrium (LD) between variants. Currently available for human data only, you can find LD data for all the different populations in the 1000 Genomes Project.
