19 December 2012 - - 28 new vertebrate assemblies! + 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)*. + sequenced and assembled for the Mammalian Genome Project (Lindblad-Toh + et al., Nature 2011)*.

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.

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: 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.

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. Read more.
