12. Start Ensembl browser

Ensembl genome browser.

Edit setup.ini

Edit database settings:

  • for the default setup, only DB_SESSION_PASS should need changing

  • database hosts should match the name of your mysql container

  • DB_FALLBACK_HOST is used to allow additional databases to be loaded from a remote host (in this case EnsemblGenomes) so not all databases need to be hosted locally

Add details of your Ensembl plugin:

  • update YOUR_PLUGIN_URL to point to the git repository you created in the previous step

  • these details should be added above the GENOMEHUBS_PLUGIN_URL so files in this plugin will overwrite those in the GenomeHubs plugin

Set database names to load:

  • Assemblies will be listed on your Ensembl site homepage in the order they are added to SPECIES_DBS
