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. </p> - <hr> - - <!-- start archives --> - <font face="courier" size="3"><b>16 August 2012 - -Announcing a Genome Browser for the Medium ground finch </b></font> - <p> - We have released a browser for the Medium ground finch, - <em>Geospiza fortis</em>, renowned 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, - <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> - <hr> - - <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. 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.
