In case you liked to include a general reference to the Ensembl system in your work, we would like to recommend citing the most recent overview article. For more specialised aspects of our system further articles would be available from the list below.
As Ensembl is continuously producing new website and data releases, it is also important to include the version and release date when citing Ensembl (currently v40 - Aug2006).
The May 2004 issue of Genome Research includes an Ensembl special covering detailed aspects of the Ensembl web site, the underlying scalable database system for storing genome sequence and annotation information, as well as the automated genome analysis and annotation pipeline.
