Our portal provides an overview of the available collections and their associated publications.

View variants in genomic context in Ensembl

IGSR works alongside the Ensembl genome browser. Ensembl presents some of the key call sets in IGSR, placing the variation data in genomic context and adding up-to-date annotation of the variant data in their displays for individual variations.

In Ensembl you can:

Download data in bulk

We recommend downloading IGSR data via Globus (instructions). Data can also be downloaded via FTP (FTP site) or Aspera (instructions). FTP access is subject to rate limiting, so it is essential to download local copies for your work rather than try to access via range queries remotely.

Data is organised by collection and includes data shared pre-publication, intermediate and working data as well as analysis files described in publications. A set of README files provides additional information.
