# Ensembl Database
## Overview
Access and query the Ensembl genome database, a comprehensive resource for vertebrate genomic data maintained by EMBL-EBI. The database provides gene annotations, sequences, variants, regulatory information, and comparative genomics data for over 250 species. Current release is 115 (September 2025).
## When to Use This Skill
This skill should be used when:
- Querying gene information by symbol or Ensembl ID
- Retrieving DNA, transcript, or protein sequences
- Analyzing genetic variants using the Variant Effect Predictor (VEP)
- Finding orthologs and paralogs across species
