Ensembl Genomes Fungi assembly converter

Ensembl Genomes Fungi assembly converter converts user data coordinates and mappings between fungal genome assemblies to align experimental datasets with current Ensembl Genomes assemblies and annotations.

Key Features:

• Genome annotation and analysis: Provides genome annotation and analysis for fungal genomes within the Ensembl Genomes framework, supporting newly annotated fungal assemblies.
• Data mapping and conversion: Maps and converts user data onto current genome assemblies to align experimental datasets with updated reference coordinates.
• Integration with latest assemblies: Aligns and integrates data with the latest genome assemblies for human, mouse, zebrafish, rat, and fungi.
• REST API for large-scale analysis: Exposes a REST API to support large-scale genomic queries and programmatic data retrieval.
• Regulatory data access via BioMart: Provides access to regulatory datasets via BioMart for exploration of gene regulation in fungi.
• Visualization of long-range interactions: Supports visualization of long-range genomic interactions, including cis-regulated datasets.

Scientific Applications:

• Genomic research: Facilitates mapping and analysis of fungal genomes for genome-scale studies.
• Comparative genomics: Enables comparison of fungal genomes with other species using current assembly data.
• Functional genomics: Supports investigation of gene function and regulation in fungi through regulatory datasets and long-range interaction visualizations.

Methodology:

Incorporates third-party data for integrated annotations and performs regular updates to maintain alignment with the latest genome assemblies.
