What's going on with Ensembl?

I've recently started experiencing significant issues with both the ensembl website and also using tools like biomaRt. Getting a lot of time-out requests and mirrors not working. I'm struggling to find specific information on the site or elsewhere explaining what's happening. Is this the case for other people?

This happens periodically. I don't think they have a public notification system to announce downtimes/problems with the Ensembl ecosystem. You could try emailing the help desk but as I understand they generally have a backlog so by the time you get an answer the issue may already be resolved.

Thank you GenoMax for tagging me and apologies for the late response - I will make sure to check BioStars more regularly!

Hi,

Please know that we are aware of these issues and are working on resolving them as soon as possible. If you are using biomaRt, I suggest you access the Ensembl 112 archive for now (host = "https://may2024.archive.ensembl.org") as the fix may take longer than expected.

I understand your frustration and if you have any specific feedback please do let us know by emailing the Ensembl Helpdesk at helpdesk [at] ensembl [dot] org.


All the best, Louisse (Ensembl Helpdesk)
