16 June 2011 - Re-engineered OMIM Tracks Released

We announce today the release of our newly re-engineered OMIM (Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man) tracks for both hg18 and hg19. With the kind assistance of Ada Hamosh (director), Joanna Amberger and Francois Schiettecatte of the OMIM project, we have divided the OMIM records into three separate tracks:

OMIM Allelic Variant SNPs
        Variants in the OMIM database that have associated dbSNP identifiers.

OMIM Genes
        The genomic positions of gene entries in the OMIM database. The coloring indicates the associated OMIM phenotype class.

OMIM Phenotypes - Gene Unknown
        Regions known to be associated with a phenotype, but for which no specific gene is known to be causative. This track also includes known multi-gene syndromes.

- The OMIM tracks are searchable by OMIM number. In most cases, + The new tracks can be found in the Phenotype and Disease Associations + track group below the browser graphic + and are searchable by OMIM number. In most cases, simply typing the 6-digit MIM number into the position/search box on the Browser will take you to the record.

The OMIM data are the property of Johns Hopkins University and will not be available for download from UCSC. Please contact the OMIM project at omim.org for download information.

UCSC thanks engineers Fan Hsu, Brooke Rhead and Robert Kuhn for this release.

9 June 2011 - UCSC Preview Browser Available

Early access to ENCODE and other UCSC browser data tracks under construction is now available from the new UCSC Preview Browser site: http://genome-preview.ucsc.edu

This site is a weekly mirror of our internal development server for public access. Data and tools there are under construction, have not been quality reviewed, and are subject to change at any time. We provide this site for early access, with the warning that it is less available and stable than our public site. For high-quality reviewed annotations on our production server, visit our public website: http://genome.ucsc.edu.

7 June 2011 - Updated Lizard Browser Available: We have released a Genome Browser for the May 2010 genome assembly of the green anole lizard, Anolis carolinensis (Broad version AnoCar2.0, UCSC version anoCar2). Read more.

26 May 2011 - New Release of UCSC Genes for Mouse: We've released an updated set of UCSC Genes for the mm9 (NCBI Build 37) mouse Genome Browser. Read more.

1 May 2011 - ENCODE User's Guide: 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. Read more.

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. Read more.
