New Release (53)!

Ensembl just updated the live site and underlying databases to
version 53.

Some new features include 'Active Tracks' and a searchable 'Configure this page'!


Go to any region of the chromosome.

Click 'Configure this page' at the left.

'Active tracks' allows you to see (and deselect) all tracks that are turned on.

'Search display' allows you to search for tracks in the menus. In this example, we searched for UniProt. Tracks from different menus appear.

For more updates, including new species, variations, and Amazon Web Services, see the news.
