<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>I have recently rolled out a new in-house microarray
annotation system based on Ensembl.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>I have raised a lot of questions when trying to fine-tune
the system to end-user requirements but overall it is infinitely better than
our previous one and is producing much more data at a much higher resolution
(which says good things about Ensembl).<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>One of our functional analysis team told me yesterday that
from his perspective, less characterized transcripts are no good to him because
he can’t include them in his functional analysis.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>I’m just wondering – what sort of data is stored
in Ensembl for these transcripts? I’m referring to the clone based sequences
that are generally annotated as novel/known/putative processed/long non
coding/protein coding RNAs etc.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Can I pull info that could potentially be used to include
these in existing functional analysis workflows?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
