Upcoming Ensembl Platform Transition

This is the final release of its kind on this website.

In summer 2026, this site will bring you to the new Ensembl platform currently at beta.ensembl.org.

Human vs Platypus Synteny results

The syntenic regions between Human (Homo sapiens, GRCh38) and Platypus (Ornithorhynchus anatinus, mOrnAna1.p.v1) were extracted from their pairwise alignment in Ensembl release 100. We look for stretches where the alignment blocks are in synteny. The search is run in two phases. In the first one, syntenic alignments that are closer than 200 kbp are grouped. In the second phase, the groups that are in synteny are linked provided that no more than 2 non-syntenic groups are found between them and they are less than 3Mbp apart.
