+ + + + 1 May 2011 - ENCODE +User's Guide and Usability Survey: The ENCODE project has just published an overview of their ongoing large-scale efforts to interpret the human genome sequence in the journal PLoS Biology. A Users Guide to the Encyclopedia of DNA Elements, highlights the scope of data production, and provides guidance for locating - and using the data. With the vast amount of data now available, the ENCODE Data Coordination Center - at UCSC continues to focus on improving the accessiblity and usability of this valuable resource. - We invite all current and prospective users of ENCODE data to participate in the - 2011 ENCODE Usability Survey. - Your input will help us to make this data more accessible to the scientific community. Thank you! + and using the data. + Read more. -- 18 April 2011 - dbSNP 132 Available for hg19 - -+ 18 April 2011 - +dbSNP 132 Available for hg19: We are pleased to announce the release of four tracks derived from dbSNP build 132, available on the human assembly (GRCh37/hg19). - dbSNP build 132 is available at NCBI. The new tracks contain - additional annotation data not included in previous dbSNP tracks, - with corresponding coloring and filtering options in the Genome - Browser. - -- As for prior builds of dbSNP, there is a track that contains all - mappings of reference SNPs to the human assembly; it is now labeled - "All SNPs (132)". Three new tracks have been added to show - interesting and easily defined subsets of dbSNP: - -
- By default, only the Common SNPs (132) are visible; other tracks must - be made visible using the track controls. - -- The counts of distinct reference SNPs and their mappings to hg19 - differ greatly among the tracks: - --- - - * The Common and Flagged tracks have more mappings than SNPs due to the - alternate haplotype sequences and the pseudoautosomal regions on X and Y. - SNPs are considered uniquely mapped if they map only once to a haploid - reference genome. These regions add non-haploid sequence to the reference - genome; therefore, multiple mappings involving these regions are still - considered unique. - -- You will find the four SNPs (132) tracks on the Human Feb. 2009 - (GRCh37/hg19) browser in the "Variation and Repeats" group. + dbSNP build 132 is available at NCBI. + Read more. -- Many thanks to dbSNP at NCBI for the data, and to - Mary-Claire King - at the University of Washington for helpful comments that motivated - us to enhance our dbSNP annotations. The tracks were produced at UCSC - by Angie Hinrichs, Brooke Rhead, Bob Kuhn, and Jim Kent. - - -- 18 April 2011 - Sheep Browser Released: - We are happy to announce a Genome Browser for - the initial release of the sheep (Ovis aries) genome. - Read more - - -04 March 2011 - The Meaning of Red: Consensus on color scheme for CNVs: - Consensus was reached on color standards to represent CNV loss (red) - and gain (blue) in genomics databases by DGV, NCBI, DECIPHER, UCSC and ISCA - during the 1st annual ISCA Scientific Conference. - Read more - ==> News Archives |
