It’s another Thursday, and that means it’s time for another #tweetorial! Today, we want to show you how you can view RefSeq #annotations on Ensembl 🥳

While Ensembl gene models are annotated directly on the reference genome, #RefSeq are annotated on mRNA sequences. In other words: genome browsers will have different annotation methods, so you might be interested in comparing these annotations side-by-side 📖🤔

2/ Whole-genome reference files for each species in Ensembl can be found on the FTP site 🧑‍🤝‍🧑🐭🐄🐶🐟

👉 ftp.ensembl.org

If you’re studying non-vertebrate species, you’ll need to use the Ensembl Genomes FTP site 🌾🦠🦟

1/ Knowing the frequency for alleles of genomic variants in populations around the world helps us understand phenotypes and disease 🌎🌍🌏

We’re here to take you through the data in @ensembl step-by-step. A thread…🧵

2/ The way you approach this problem will depend on if you are starting with a #gene of interest or if you already have the ID (e.g rs699) of a variant for which you want to find the observed allele frequencies.
3/ If you are starting with a gene, search for the gene name or ID from the #Ensembl homepage and navigate to the Gene tab.
