Citing Ensembl Data

Since release 25, all Ensembl releases have been archived as fully functional sites for about two years. This makes it possible to accurately cite data being referred to in a paper, even though the main Ensembl site is being continuously updated (currently release [[SPECIESDEFS::ENSEMBL_VERSION]] - [[SPECIESDEFS::ENSEMBL_RELEASE_DATE]]). For more information see the list of current archives.
