Community survey for phytopathogen resources
FungiDB and Ensembl are teaming up to enhance resources for fungal and oomycete plant pathogen research - a collaboration funded by the BBSRC.
We need feedback from the phytopathogen community to help shape which genomes and functional datasets we prioritise.
Please provide your input by completing our short community survey by November 1, 2025:

DAS

The Distributed Annotation System (DAS)

DAS is a specification of a protocol for requesting and returning annotation data for genomic regions. DAS allows sequence annotation to be stored in a decentralised manner, by multiple third-party annotators, and integrated on an as-needed basis by client-side software.

As of release 84, Ensembl no longer supports the DAS protocol. If you wish to make your data publicly accessible, we recommend creating a track hub, which provides a similar service to DAS but requires only a standard web server (or ftp site) and a few simple configuration files.

Information on how to create a track hub can be found at the UCSC Genome Browser website. The track hub format was created by the browser team at UCSC.
