Hello to everyone! I am trying to match ensembl gene IDs to convintional gene names. I am using biomart which is an esembl service and as I can understand there are several releases of ensembl and gencode. I am interested in finding which ensembl release gencode is using in each release(gencode release). I found the bellow text in the website but I wasnt able to find matching versions of the two.

What is the difference between GENCODE and Ensembl annotation?

The GENCODE annotation is made by merging the manual gene annotation produced by the Ensembl-Havana team and the Ensembl-genebuild automated gene annotation. The GENCODE annotation is the default gene annotation displayed in the Ensembl browser. The GENCODE releases coincide with the Ensembl releases, although we can skip an Ensembl release if there is no update to the annotation with respect to the previous release. In practical terms, the GENCODE annotation is essentially identical to the Ensembl annotation.

Thanks in advance!
