The GENCODE Genes track (version 50, May 2026 (pre-release)) shows high-quality manual annotations merged with evidence-based automated annotations across the entire human genome generated by the GENCODE project. The GENCODE gene set presents a full merge between HAVANA manual annotation process and Ensembl automatic annotation pipeline. Priority is given to the manually curated HAVANA annotation using predicted Ensembl annotations when there are no corresponding manual annotations. The 50 annotation was carried out on genome assembly GRCh38 (hg38).
The Ensembl human and mouse data sets are the same gene annotations as GENCODE for the corresponding release.
GENCODE GFF3 and GTF files are available from the GENCODE release 50 site.
GENCODE version 50 corresponds to Ensembl 116.
