Ensembl is a joint scientific project between the European Bioinformatics Institute and the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, which was launched in 1999 in response to the imminent completion of the Human Genome Project. After 10 years in existence, Ensembl's aim remains to provide a centralized resource for geneticists, molecular biologists and other researchers studying the genomes of our own species and other vertebrates and model organisms. Ensembl is one of several well known genome browsers for the retrieval of genomic information.

## How to interpret this page

Estimated down reports are based on US Google Trends problem-intent searches. Values are relative activity from 0 to 100, not counts of submitted reports. The HTML chart averages samples into ten-minute intervals. Partial samples are excluded and missing samples are not invented.

Recorded outage reports and estimated activity are separate signals. Neither confirms that every user is affected. Missing or stale data does not establish that a service is working.

## Citation

Cite [Ensembl on Iszdown](https://iszdown.com/now/ensembl), include your access time and the observation time above, and qualify estimated activity as an estimate. Recheck before describing current status. Iszdown is independent of the monitored provider.

## Estimated activity samples

No usable Google Trends samples are available for this service in this window.

## Evidence and recovery

Website reachable in latest check. The public website responded; signed-in features and APIs were not tested.

No recent recovery can be established from available evidence.

## Website measurements

Successful sampled checks (24h): 100% (4/4). Restricted checks: 0. Median response: 185 ms. P95 response: 501 ms.

These are sampled public website checks from one US server, not continuous uptime or authenticated app/API tests. Missing data stays unknown.
