                 Browser Available</B></FONT>
                 <P>
                 We have released the latest Genome Browser for the December 2011
 		Mouse genome assembly produced by the 
 		<a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/projects/genome/assembly/grc/mouse/" TARGET=_blank>
 		Mouse Genome Reference Consortium</a> (NCBI Build 38, UCSC version mm10).	
 		This version, which includes approximately 2.6 Gb of sequence, 
 		is considered to be "essentially complete". The assembly includes 
 		chromosomes 1-19, X, Y, M (mitochondrial DNA) and chr*_random 
 		(unlocalized) and chrUn_* (unplaced clone contigs).
 		Note that the UCSC mm10 database contains only the 
 		reference strain C57BL/6J.
 		<P>					
 		Bulk downloads of the sequence and annotation data are available
 		via the Genome Browser <a href="ftp://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/mm10/" 
 		TARGET=_blank>FTP server</a> or the 
 		<a href="http://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/downloads.html#mouse" TARGET=_blank>Downloads</a>
 		page. The Mouse browser annotation tracks were generated by UCSC
 		and collaborators worldwide. See the 
 		<a href="http://hgwdev.cse.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/credits.html#mouse_credits" 
 		TARGET=_blank>Credits</a> page for a detailed list of the

                  <P>
-                 As for dbSNP build 132, there are four tracks in this release.
-                 One is a track containing all mappings of reference SNPs to the
-                 human assembly, labeled "All SNPs (135)". The other three tracks
-                 are subsets of this track and show interesting and easily defined
-                 subsets of dbSNP:
-                 </P>
-
-                 <UL>
-                 <LI>Common SNPs (135): uniquely mapped variants that appear in
-                 at least 1% of the population
-                 <LI>Flagged SNPs (135): uniquely mapped variants, excluding
-                 Common SNPs, that have been flagged by dbSNP as "clinically
-                 associated"
-                 <LI>Mult. SNPs (135): variants that have been mapped to more
-                 than one genomic location
-                 </UL>
-
-                 <P>By default, only the Common SNPs (135) are visible; other
-                 tracks must be made visible using the track controls.
-                 </P>
-
-                 <P>You will find the four SNPs (135) tracks on the Human Feb.
-                 2009 (GRCh37/hg19) browser in the "Variation and Repeats" group.
-                 </P>
-
-                 </P> 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 and Brooke Rhead.
