For a number of years the BioMart data warehousing system has proven to be a valuable resource for scientists seeking a fast and versatile means of accessing the growing volume of genomic data provided by the Ensembl project. The launch of the Ensembl Genomes project in 2009 complemented the Ensembl project by utilizing the same visualization, interactive and programming tools to provide users with a means for accessing genome data from a further five domains: protists, bacteria, metazoa, plants and fungi. The Ensembl and Ensembl Genomes BioMarts provide a point of access to the high-quality gene annotation, variation data, functional and regulatory annotation and evolutionary relationships from genomes spanning the taxonomic space. This article aims to give a comprehensive overview of the Ensembl and Ensembl Genomes BioMarts as well as some useful examples and a description of current data content and future objectives.

多年来，BioMart 数据仓库系统已被证明是科学家们的宝贵资源，他们希望快速、灵活地访问 Ensembl 项目提供的不断增长的基因组数据量。2009 年启动的 Ensembl Genomes 项目通过利用相同的可视化、交互和编程工具，为用户提供了从另外五个领域访问基因组数据的方法：原生动物、细菌、后生动物、植物和真菌。Ensembl 和 Ensembl Genomes BioMart 为跨越分类学空间的基因组提供了一个访问高质量基因注释、变异数据、功能和调控注释以及进化关系的入口。本文旨在全面概述 Ensembl 和 Ensembl Genomes BioMart，以及一些有用的示例和当前数据内容和未来目标的描述。数据库网址：http://www.ensembl.org/biomart/martview/; http://metazoa.ensembl.org/biomart/martview/; http://plants.ensembl.org/biomart/martview/; http://protists.ensembl.org/biomart/martview/; http://fungi.ensembl.org/biomart/martview/; http://bacteria.ensembl.org/biomart/martview/。
