-# Selecting a species
-
-In order to start using Ensembl Genome Browser and Entity Viewer, you first need to select a species and genome assembly. There are two main ways to select a species:
-
--   Click on the icons representing our 42 most popular species and click the green 'Add' button.
--   Type the name of a species or genome assembly into the search box and select from the auto-complete options in the drop-down menu. If there is more than one genome assembly available for your species of interest, a drop-down menu will appear allowing you to select your genome assembly of interest. Click the green 'Add' button to add the selected species and genome assembly.
-
-When a species has been selected the species and assembly name will appear at the top of the page.
-
-You can add as many species as you like, and toggle between them when in the Genome Browser or Entity Viewer.
