Ensembl provides genome data and annotation freely via websites and programmatic services for over 5000 species. In the summer of 2026, the Ensembl project is moving to new infrastructure to enable the scalable addition of more genomes than ever before. The current Ensembl platform is used by millions of scientists and researchers across the world. This webinar series will cover key aspects of the transition, detail where to find previous Ensembl versions, and highlight exciting new features for analysing the latest genomes. 

This series will cover a range of topics including:

• What to train on if you include Ensembl as a topic in your own genomics modules
• Resources for those who teach on Ensembl or who want to train on genome browsers
• The transition plan for Ensembl platforms and what to expect from Ensembl resources ahead
• The new ways of programmatically accessing Ensembl data as we move to more scalable and accessible architecture
