The 2-minute tutorial covers Ensembl import, using Pagan aligner, tree pruning and sequence translation, among others. The video is hosted on Youtube and is available in HD (recommended).

The previous Wasabi introduction video is availabe on the About page and on Youtube.

Also, Wasabi has a brand new plugin system for integrating custom command-line tools.
