Ensembl Genomes is a scientific project to provide genome-scale data from non-vertebrate species.[1][2]

The project is run by the European Bioinformatics Institute, and was launched in 2009 using the Ensembl technology.[3] The main objective of the Ensembl Genomes database is to complement the main Ensembl database by introducing five additional web pages to include genome data for bacteria, fungi, invertebrate metazoa, plants, and protists.[4] For each of the domains, the Ensembl tools are available for manipulation, analysis and visualization of genome data. Most Ensembl Genomes data is stored in MySQL relational databases and can be accessed by the Ensembl REST interface, the Perl API, Biomart or online.[5]

Ensembl Genomes is an open project, and most of the code, tools, and data are available to the public.[6] Ensembl and Ensembl Genomes software uses an Apache 2.0 license[7] license.
