Ensembl网站（http：//www.ensembl.org/）是Ensembl项目数据的主要用户界面，目前每周提供500 000多页（相当于250万次点击），向80多个国家的用户提供80 GB以上的数据。它建立在一个由Apache/ mod_perl和MySQL关系数据库管理系统组成的开源平台之上，是模块化的，可扩展的，并且是免费的。它正在几个不同的项目中积极地重复使用和扩展，并已被世界各地的公司和学术机构下载和安装。在这里，我们描述了该网站的一些技术功能，特别是其动态配置，使其能够处理来自多个物种的不同数据。
The Ensembl Web site (http://www.ensembl.org/) is the principal user interface to the data of the Ensembl project, and Currently serves >500,000 pages (similar to2.5 million hits) per week, providing access to >80 GB (gigabyte) of data to users in more than 80 Countries. Built atop an open-source platform comprising Apache/ mod_perl and the MySQL relational database management system, it is modular, extensible, and freely available. It is being actively reused and extended in several different projects, and has been downloaded and installed in companies and academic institutions worldwide. Here, we describe some of the technical features of the site, with particular reference to its dynamic configuration that enables it to handle disparate data from multiple species.
