Could someone point me in the right direction to find documentation on ENSEMBL genomes vs NCBI genomes? Is ENSEMBL version 59 the same as hg19?

For what it's worth, I've exported this from our local ensembl database. the last two digits tell you the reference version, the two digits before that are the ensembl version.
reference version 36, if I recall correctly, is hg18, reference 37 is hg19.

You can find the Ensembl assembly for different versions in the species (human) home page:
The current assembly in Ensembl is GRCh37, which is also hg19 (this is explained in the text on this page).
Click on 'View in archive site' at the bottom of this page for a list of Ensembl versions and the genome. In Ensembl 59, GRCh37 is used, which is also called hg19 by UCSC. GRCh37 is the official name from the Genome Reference Consortium:
UCSC used to name the human assembly hg18, but has included the official name in the newest assembly 'GRCh37/hg19'
NCBI also uses the official name "build 37.2", here:
The three projects strive to use the most updated reference assembly from the GRC. At the moment, they should all be in synch.
I hope this helps.

The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...-

Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...-
