The new tracks contain + additional annotation data not included in previous dbSNP tracks, + with corresponding coloring and filtering options in the Genome + Browser. + + ++ As for dbSNP build 137, there are four tracks in this release. + One is a track containing all mappings of reference SNPs to the + human assembly, labeled "All SNPs (137)". The other three tracks + are subsets of this track and show interesting and easily defined + subsets of dbSNP: + + +
+ By default, only the Common SNPs (137) are visible; other + tracks must be made visible using the track controls. + + ++ You will find the four SNPs (137) tracks on the Human Feb. + 2009 (GRCh37/hg19) browser in the "Variation and Repeats" group. + + + + The tracks were produced at UCSC by Angie Hinrichs and Steve Heitner. + ++ 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:
More details about the new UCSC Genes track can be found on the UCSC Genes track description page. Also, please note that GRCm38/mm10 is now the default mouse assembly on the Genome Browser Gateway. 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. - - + ==> News Archives |
