To receive announcements of new genome assembly releases, new software features, updates and training seminars by email, subscribe to the genome-announce mailing list. + 19 December 2012 - + 28 new vertebrate assemblies! ++ Over the past several weeks, we have released 28 new vertebrate assemblies on the + public Genome Browser website, featuring 22 new species and 6 assembly updates. + These assemblies were added to support the 60-species Conservation track on the + latest mouse assembly (mm10/GRCm38). Several of these species were originally + sequenced and assembled for the Mammalian Genome Project (Lindblad-Toh et al., + Nature 2011)*. + + Primates: +
+ Other mammals: +
+ Other vertebrates: +
+ Our sincere thanks to the many organizations who contributed to the release + of these datasets. We'd also like to acknowledge the Genome Browser + staff who worked on this release: Hiram Clawson, Chin Li, Brian Raney, + Brooke Rhead, Steve Heitner, Pauline Fujita, Luvina Guruvadoo, Greg Roe, and + Donna Karolchik. Please see the Genome Browser + credits page for complete acknowledgment + information and data use restrictions. All datasets may be downloaded from our + ftp server or + downloads page. + ++ We regret that we don't have the resources to support the many other + genomics research communities who would like us to visualize their data + in our browser. However, we can provide you with information for setting up + your own browser or track hub to display your data, as well as links to + other visualization resources on the web that are specific to your + genome of interest. Feel free to contact our + mail list for more information. + ++ * Lindblad-Toh et al. A high-resolution map of human evolutionary + constraint using 29 mammals. Nature 2011 Oct 12;478(7370):476-82. + ++ 14 December 2012 - Reduced Coverage During the Holidays - The UCSC campus will be closed for the holidays from December 22, 2012 through January 1, 2013. The Genome Browser will still be available; however, our backup systems will be offline for two days, December 27 and 28. During this time if we experience any issues, associated fixes are likely to be delayed. The help desk will also be minimally staffed during this period. We will be monitoring the mailing lists for urgent messages, but the bulk of the questions will go unanswered until early January. + 07 December 2012 - - dbSNP 137 Available for hg19 - - + dbSNP 137 Available for hg19: We are pleased to announce the release of four tracks derived from dbSNP build 137, available on the human assembly (GRCh37/hg19). dbSNP build 137 is available at NCBI. The new tracks contain additional annotation data not included in previous dbSNP tracks, with corresponding coloring and filtering options in the Genome Browser. + Read more. - -- 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 - + 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. + Read more. -- 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! - - - ==> News Archives |
