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. - </P> - If you have questions, concerns or feedback about the plans for - the GRCh38 assembly, the GRC would - <A HREF="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/projects/genome/assembly/grc/contact.shtml" - TARGET=_blank>like your input</A>. + 2013. + <A HREF="goldenPath/newsarch.html#041812">Read more</A>. <P> - <HR> - - <!-- start archives --> <FONT FACE="courier" SIZE="3"><B>07 March 2012 - New Mouse Browser Available: </B></FONT> 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> (GRCm38, UCSC version mm10). <A HREF="goldenPath/newsarch.html#030712">Read more</A>. <P> <FONT FACE="courier" SIZE="3"><B>29 February 2012 - RGD Genes Available for rn4: </B></FONT> We are pleased to announce the release of RGD Genes for rat (Baylor 3.4/rn4). <A HREF="goldenPath/newsarch.html#022912">Read more</A>.
