+ 17 September 2012 - +Retiring the Proteome Browser ++ We are announcing the imminent retirement of the Proteome Browser. + We introduced the Proteome Browser in 2003 to provide access to + protein-specific information independent of the genomic details + presented in the Genome Browser. Since then we've incorporated more + of this information in the UCSC Genes details page accessible from the + Genome Browser, and in the columns of the Gene Sorter. Since very few + people are still accessing the Proteome Browser, we've decided to + retire it to focus our work on these other two tools. Access to the + databases that supported the Proteome Browser (uniProt and proteome) + will still be available through the Table Browser and our public MySQL + server. +
++ + 16 August 2012 - Announcing a Genome Browser for the Medium ground finch
We have released a browser for the Medium ground finch, Geospiza fortis, reknowned as one of naturalist Charles Darwin's Galapagos finches. This species, which has been the subject of many evolutionary studies, is one of a group of birds that evolved over a few million years from a single ancestral species into multiple species whose beak sizes and shapes are specialized for using different food resources. The phenotypic diversity of these birds contributed to Darwin's theory of evolution. The significance of this genome assembly is described in the August 16, 2012, press release issued by the UCSC Center for Biomolecular Science and Engineering (CBSE). + Read more.
-- The initial Medium ground finch genome assembly (GeoFor_1.0, - UCSC version geoFor1) is the product of a collaboration between - the Genome 10K project and Beijing Genomics Institute (BGI) to - sequence 100 vertebrate species, and is the first to be - released in the UCSC Genome Browser. For more information about - the G. fortis genome, see the - NCBI website. -
-- Bulk downloads of the sequence and annotation data are available - via the Genome Browser - FTP server or the - Downloads page. - The 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 this release. We'd like to thank BGI for - contributing the data for this assembly and acknowledge the - UCSC staff members who released this browser: Hiram Clawson and - Greg Roe. -

- 14 August 2012 - Changes to our website
We are pleased to announce a few changes to the look and feel of the Genome Browser website. In addition to a new font throughout the site, the first thing you might notice is a new menu bar across the top of many of the pages. We have reorganized the navigation on our web - applications with you in mind; we hope you find it more intuitive!
-- Additionally, we greatly simplified the search mechanism by - collapsing all search methods into a single box.
-
-
- - In this box, you can search for chromosomal coordinate ranges, gene names, accession numbers, - keywords, etc. For a complete list of ways to query the browser data, see - Querying the Genome Browser.
- -- As always, if you have questions about the website or the data, please - Contact Us.
