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:

Pan-taxonomic compara

The pan-taxonomic compara is built using representative genomes from all significant clades represented in Ensembl and Ensembl Genomes, to offer a broad view of homologous relationships from across the taxonomy. This analysis enables the production of protein trees and orthologies across all the taxonomic groups in Ensembl and Ensembl Genomes.

Species in the pan-taxonomic compara

Model genomes along with genomes not represented by the familes of model organisms are picked for this analysis.

The bacterial genomes included are selected on the following criteria:

  1. Presence in earlier versions of the pan-taxonomic compara
  2. Presence in the UniProtKB reference proteome list
  3. Europe PubMed Central citation count of over 1000

Data Access

The gene trees obtained from this analysis can be accessed in the genome browser and also using the Perl API and REST API. Note that when using the APIs, the pan-taxonomic comparative genomics data resource can be picked using the name "pan_homology".
