Ensembl Genomes Release 15 Notes

Update to the cross-references for the mosquitoes (Aedes aegypti, Culex quinquefasciatus and Anopheles gambiae) and the tick (Ixodes scapularis).
Update to BioMart to include new cross-references.

Alignment of RNA-Seq data from the ENA Sequence Read Archive to the genomes of Pythium ultimum, Phytophthora sojae and Albugo laibachii.
New variation database for Phytophthora infestans.
Updated DNA compara database with DNA alignments for Amoebozoa species.

Addition of the genome for Leptosphaeria maculans, including alignment of data from dbEST.
Addition of the genome for Trichoderma virens.
Addition of variation data for Puccinia graminis.
Addition of simple repeat data for Puccinia graminis.
Update core database for Schizosaccharomyces pombe.
Update to peptide comparative genomes database to include new and updated gene models.
Update to BioMart to include the new and updated data described above.

Added structural variation data from dGVA for Sorghum bicolor.
Alignment of wheat SNPs from the A, B and D genomes to Brachypodium distachyon.
Updated protein feature annotation for the following genomes:
- Arabidopsis lyrata,
- Physcomitrella patens,
- Glycine max, and
- Zea mays.
Several internal improvements to data quality were made, including:
- Significant updates to Zea mays variation data and associated variation BioMart,
- Minor changes to assembly data for Brassica rapa, Arabidopsis thaliana, and Vitis vinifera (overall assembly structure remains unchanged).
- The default variation consequene types are now SO terms by default.
- Updated features were generated using InterProScan on the latest InterPro database, including (Pfam 26).
Updated BioMarts.
