ID History converter

The ID history converter allows you to input a list of Ensembl IDs from a previous Ensembl release, and find what IDs they map to in the current release.

The ID History converter can only be used to convert Ensembl IDs, which begin ENS.

Input form

Choose your species and the conversion and an optional name for the job. You can then specify the set of stable IDs as a new line separated list of IDs in the text area or you can upload a file or specify a URL containing the IDs.
