- 21 July 2010 - Free Genome Browser - workshops available -

-

In the years since its introduction, the UCSC Genome Browser has - become an important tool for research and teaching. As it has grown - in capacity and therefore complexity, however, even experienced users - sometimes have - difficulty leaning how to make the most of it. -

- -

We plan to - provide a limited number of free browser training workshops at selected - institutions during the coming year. - We invite you to apply. - Please indicate your - interest by completing our survey: -  Apply for free workshop - -

- UCSC is pleased to celebrate the 10-year anniversary of the - debut of the first assembled human genome sequence and its - then-fledgling visualization tool, the UCSC Genome Browser. - Released on July 7, 2000, the genome sequence instantly - created unprecedented web traffic on the - ucsc.edu domain as researchers around the world - scrambled to download the data: 0.5 terabytes per day, a - record that stood for many years. -

- David Haussler recounts that day: - "Seeing the waterfall of As, Gs, Cs, and Ts pouring - off our server was an emotional moment. We were witnessing - the product of more than three billion years of evolution, - sequences passed down from the beginning of life to - present-day humans." 1 -

- The UCSC Genome Bioinformatics group is proud of the role - we have played in bringing the - human genome, as well as the genomes of many other species, - to the world. We'd like to thank NHGRI, HHMI, and our other - funding agencies for making this service possible, and - also our many users and collaborators for their suggestions, - contributions, and support throughout the years. We look - forward to serving as a reliable - source of bioinformatics tools and genomic annotations in - the years to come while facing the exciting challenges - presented by rapidly advancing technology. -

- To read more about UCSC's role in the race to assemble the - first working draft of the human genome, including Jim - Kent's remarkable programming feat that pulled it all - together in the final weeks, see the - Center for Biomolecular Science and - Engineering (CBSE) website. -

- 6 May 2010 - UCSC -Hosts Portal for Neandertal Sequence, Alignments, and Analyses: - In conjunction with the publication of the paper Green - et al. A Draft Sequence of the Neandertal Genome - in the May 7 issue of Science, the UCSC - Genome Browser project has released a public - Neandertal portal that may be - used to access the Neandertal sequence, alignments to - the UCSC hg18 (NCBI Build 36) human reference assembly and - the UCSC panTro2 (Chimpanzee Sequencing and Analysis - Consortium v2.1) chimpanzee reference assembly, and - several associated analyses. - Read more. -
