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, <a href="https://cbse.soe.ucsc.edu/news/article/1939" target=_blank>press release</a> issued by the UCSC Center for Biomolecular Science and Engineering (CBSE). + <A HREF="goldenPath/newsarch.html#081612">Read more</A>. </p> - <p> - 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 <em>G. fortis</em> genome, see the - <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genome/13302" - target=_blank>NCBI website</a>. - </p> - <p> - Bulk downloads of the sequence and annotation data are available - via the Genome Browser - <a href="ftp://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/geoFor1/">FTP server</a> or the - <a href="http://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/downloads.html#mediumgroundfinch">Downloads</a> page. - The browser annotation tracks were generated by UCSC and - collaborators worldwide. See the - <a href="/goldenPath/credits.html#mediumgroundfinch_credits">Credits</a> - 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. - </p> - <HR> + <hr> -<A NAME="070612"></A> <font face="courier" size="3"><b>14 August 2012 - Changes to our website</b></font> <p> We are pleased to announce a few changes to the look and feel of the Genome Browser website.
