  1. How to access genomic information using Ensembl Damian Smedley and Xosé Fernández Ensembl Project European Bioinformatics Institute Cambridge, UK November 2004

  2. Schedule Today Introduction to the Ensembl system Hands-on examples to introduce the system Evaluating genes and transcripts Variation in Ensembl (SNPs, haplotypes) Tomorrow Data mining with EnsMart Comparative genomics and proteomics in Ensembl BioMart Advanced topics (Upload your own data, DAS)

  3. Our goal

  4. From 325,109 initial contigs to 26,720 overlapping clones Assembly Other ordering data non-redundant, “virtual contig” view

  5. BACs bacterial artificial chromosomes avg size 150 kb fragment Shizuya et al 1992 Dib et al 1996 Deloukas et al 1998 Osoegawa et al 2001 map WGS sequence assembly fragment Bentley et al 2001 Bruls et al 2001 McPherson et al 2001 Montgomery et al 2001 Tilford et al 2001 draft pUCs avg size 2-4 kb finished BAC Mapping and Sequencing the human genome

  6. Status of the human sequence finished red /orange ~96% (99.999% accurate) 30-40% repetitive elements (eg Alpha satellite, Alu repeats) All known genes, correctly identified (99.74%) heterochromatin ~4% grey Assembled draft sequence totals 2.85 Gb

  7. Human genome: Current status • 22,287 'gene loci‘ defined, consisting of 19,599 protein-coding genes in the human genome and 2,188 DNA additional segments ‘predicted’ to be protein-coding genes • 1183 genes ‘were born’ in the last 60-100 My • ~ 30 genes ‘died’ in a similar time period Finishing the euchromatic sequence of the human genome, Nature 431:931-45 (2004)

  8. Ensembl - project aims • funded to provide metazoan genomes to the world • aims to provide the world’s best automated genome annotation • a leading group for human and mouse analysis • all software, data and results freely available

  9. Ensembl - project background • group split between EBI and Sanger • mainly Wellcome Trust funded • largest dedicated compute in biology in Europe • developer community > 100 people, including companies

  10. Ensembl – Open source • Freely-available • Community development. • >51 Ensembl installs worldwide. • Both public and commercial, • e.g. Gramene (CSHL) • Fugu-sg (ICMB) • Ciona-sg (Temasek)

  11. SNP Manual Annotation Ensembl Supporting Databases Final DB Analysis DB CPU

  12. Genome browsingwhy present the whole genome? • Explore what is in a chromosome region • See features in and around a specific gene • Search & retrieve across the whole genome • Investigate genome organization • Compare to other genomes

  13. http://www.ensembl.org http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/mapview http://genome.ucsc.edu Genome browsers • Ensembl – public site + installable system • UCSC Human Genome Browser • NCBI Map Viewer

  14. Introduction to the Ensembl web site Ensembl … … takes genomic sequence assemblies human build 34, mouse, rat, Fugu,mosquito adds annotation and links automated process presents all the data on a web site

  15. Annotation: genes Known genes Novelgenes • how to predict? • require evidence • transcripts(s)? • protein(s)? • orthologues? • attach useful links • where? • genomic structure? • transcripts(s)? • protein(s)? • orthologues? • attach useful links

  16. Annotation: other features • markers and SNPs • cytogenetic bands • repeated sequences • ESTs & other sequence records where do they show sequence similarity? • regions homologous to other species
