The Tasmanian devil, which is native to the island of Tasmania, is at risk of extinction due to a transmissible facial cancer. The devil population in Tasmania has declined by more than 80% since the first time the disease was observed 14 years ago. This draft assembly, created by the <a href="http://www.sanger.ac.uk/" target="_blank" >Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute</a>, was sequenced using Illumina reads. This completed genome is the first step towards finding genetic mutations in the transmissible cancer, which will help researchers understand the disease and its spread. <p> Bulk downloads of the sequence and annotation data are available via the Genome Browser <a href="ftp://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/sarHar1/" >FTP server</a> or the <a href="http://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/downloads.html#tasmanian_devil" >Downloads</a> page. The Tasmanian devil browser annotation tracks were generated by UCSC and collaborators worldwide. See the <a href="/goldenPath/credits.html#tasmanian_devil_credits" >Credits</a> page for a detailed list of the organizations and individuals who contributed to the success of this release. <hr> <P> <FONT FACE="courier" SIZE="3"><B>06 July 2012 - hgText CGI To Be Retired </B></FONT> </P> <P>We are announcing the imminent retirement of the hgText CGI. hgText was the original version of the Table Browser, and was replaced by the new CGI, hgTables, in <A HREF = "goldenPath/newsarch.html#100104">2004</A>. A very small number of our users are still accessing the database using the old hgText CGI. Beginning July 24, 2012, we will be removing the hgText CGI from our site.
