+ 27 November 2012 - + New UCSC Genes Track Released for Mouse +

+ We're happy to announce the release of a new UCSC Genes + track for the GRCm38/mm10 mouse Genome Browser. +

+

+ The new release has 59,121 transcripts, compared with + 55,419 in the previous version on mm9. The total number + of canonical genes has increased from 28,661 to 31,227. + Comparing the new gene set with the previous version: +

+

    +
  • 48,739 transcripts did not change between versions. +
  • 423 transcripts were not carried forward to the new version. +
  • 5,108 transcripts are "compatible" with those in the previous + set, meaning that the two transcripts show consistent splicing. +
  • 1,037 transcripts overlap with those in the previous set. +
+

+ More details about the new UCSC Genes track can be found on + the UCSC Genes track description page. +

+ Many thanks to Brian Raney, Jim Kent, and Luvina Guruvadoo + for their work on this track! +

+ 14 November 2012 - ENCODE Tutorials Available at Open Helix

OpenHelix and the UCSC Bioinformatics group have worked together to give everyone free access to the newly updated ENCODE tutorial until the end of February 2013.

The online tutorial suite teaches users how to access the ENCODE data in the UCSC Genome Browser. The online tutorial, created by OpenHelix in conjunction with the UCSC Bioinformatics Group can be viewed for free at http://www.openhelix.com/ENCODE2. The tutorial has been updated to reflect the recent changes to the UCSC Genome Browser. The original tutorial is still available at http://www.openhelix.com/ENCODE.

The online narrated tutorial, which runs in just about any browser, can be viewed from beginning to end or navigated using chapters and forward and backward sliders. The approximately 60-minute tutorial explores ways to access the ENCODE data available within the UCSC Genome Browser.

In addition to the tutorial, users can also access useful training materials including the animated PowerPoint slides used as a basis for the tutorial, suggested script for the slides, slide handouts, and exercises.

- - 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. -
