- 24 August 2010 - New Drag and Reorder - Functionality Released -
- We are pleased to announce new functionality in the Genome Browser. It is now - possible to rearrange the order that tracks appear in the browser image - directly from the browser image itself. To reorder tracks, click-and-hold the - side label or gray mini-button of a single track and drag the highlighted track to a new - position within the image. -
+ 2 December 2010 - +Searching for Tracks Just Got Easier!- Because reordering is now available in the browser image itself, we have - removed the "enable track reordering" option from the configuration page. -
+ The number of genome assemblies and annotation + tracks in the UCSC Genome Browser has increased + exponentially over the past few years. Along with this + growth, it has become more difficult for browser users to + sort through the many tracks to find the data they're + interested in. ++ With our latest Genome Browser release, we've introduced a + new track search feature that will help you to quickly and + easily find and display specific annotation data sets. The + search feature is available via the "track search" button + on the browser gateway and tracks display pages.
- Thanks to Tim Dreszer and the rest of the team for implementing and testing this feature. -
+ The default search takes one or more terms as input, and + returns a list of all the browser tracks in which the name, + description, group or associated metadata contains the + terms. The advanced search option lets the user fine-tune + the search based on the track name, description, and group. + Individuals interested in the ENCODE data available on + selected human genome assemblies can use the advanced + search to specify particular ENCODE metadata terms, such + as cell line, experiment type, etc. +
+
+ + Once the list of search results is shown, you may choose + which tracks you'd like to view in the browser, and can + adjust the display modes. The search results list is + sortable by multiple criteria, and provides direct links + to detailed track descriptions and additional information + about the tracks.
- 20 August 2010 - -New ENCODE Integrated Regulation Super-track Released: We are pleased to announce the - release of the ENCODE Integrated Regulation super-track. - Read more. -
+ Special thanks to Tim Dreszer and Larry Meyer for + implementing track search, and to the QA team + for their work in testing and finetuning it. We hope our + users, particularly those exploring ENCODE + data, will take advantage of this new feature. As always, + we appreciate your feedback. Please send comments or + questions to + genome@soe.ucsc.edu. +
