- 07 March 2012 - New Mouse - Browser Available -

- We have released the latest Genome Browser for the December 2011 - Mouse genome assembly produced by the - - Mouse Genome Reference Consortium (Genome Reference Consortium GRCm38, 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. -

- Bulk downloads of the sequence and annotation data are available - via the Genome Browser FTP server or the - Downloads - page. The Mouse browser annotation tracks were generated by UCSC - and collaborators worldwide. See the - Credits page for a detailed list of the - organizations and individuals who contributed to the success of this release. -

- 29 February 2012 - - RGD Genes available for rn4 + 18 April 2012 - GRC Planning Phase + for GRCh38 Human Reference Assembly

- We are pleased to announce the release of RGD Genes for rat - (Baylor 3.4/rn4). This track shows protein-coding gene annotations - curated by RGD. This track - replaces UCSC Known Genes as the main gene track for this assembly. + The Genome Reference Consortium (GRC) plans to + update the human reference assembly to GRCh38 in the summer of + 2013. This revision is aimed at addressing issues found with the + current model for representing genome assemblies, which uses a + single, preferred tiling path to produce a single consensus + representation of the genome. Subsequent analysis has + shown that for most mammalian genomes a single tiling path is + insufficient to represent a genome in regions with complex + allelic diversity. The GRC is working to create assemblies that + better represent this diversity and provide more robust + substrates for genome analysis.

+ If you have questions, concerns or feedback about the plans for + the GRCh38 assembly, the GRC would + like + your input.

- More details about this track can be found on the - - RGD Genes track description page. -

- We'd like to thank RGD for providing the base annotations for this - track. The RGD Genes track was produced by Fan Hsu, Mary Goldman and - Hiram Clawson. -

- 10 February 2012 - - dbSNP 135 Available for hg19: - We are pleased to announce the release of four tracks derived - from dbSNP build 135, available on the human assembly - (GRCh37/hg19). - Read more. + 07 March 2012 - New Mouse + Browser Available: + We have released the latest Genome Browser for the December 2011 + Mouse genome assembly produced by the + Mouse Genome Reference Consortium (GRCm38, + UCSC version mm10). + Read more.

- 2 February 2012 - New UCSC - Genes Track Released for GRCh37/hg19: - We're happy to announce the release of an updated UCSC Genes - track for the GRCh37/hg19 human Genome Browser. - Read more. + + 29 February 2012 - RGD Genes + Available for rn4: + We are pleased to announce the release of RGD Genes for rat + (Baylor 3.4/rn4). + Read more.
