- - 25 January 2013 - - Southern White Rhinoceros Genome Browser Released

- A Genome Browser is now available for the Southern White Rhinoceros - (Ceratotherium simum simum) assembly released by the Broad - Institute in May 2012 (Broad version cerSimSim1.0, UCSC version cerSim1). This - genome was sequenced and assembled at the Broad Institute using samples - provided by Dr. Oliver Ryder at the San Diego Zoo Institute for Conservation - Research. For more information and statistics about this assembly, - see the NCBI assembly record for - CerSimSim1.0. + 11 February 2013 - + Denisova tracks released on hg19 browser +
+ In conjunction with the publication of the paper by Meyer et al. + + A High-Coverage Genome Sequence from an Archaic Denisovan Individual + the UCSC Genome Browser is hosting a set of new tracks. Briefly, Meyer et al. + applied a novel single-stranded DNA library preparation method to DNA previously + extracted from 40mg of a phalanx bone excavated from Denisova Cave in the + Altai Mountains in southern Siberia. +

+

+ Two supporting datasets and one analysis dataset are now available in the Genome Browser: +

+
    +
  • Modern Human Variants : variant calls made from sequence reads of eleven individuals + mapped to the human genome, used in statistical analyses to put the divergence of the + Denisova genome into perspective with regard to present-day humans. +
  • Denisova Sequence: high-coverage (30X) sequence reads from an archaic Denisovan + individual mapped to the human genome reference assembly. +
  • Modern Human Derived, Denisova Ancestral: mutations in the modern human lineage + that rose to fixation or near fixation since the split from the last common + ancestor with Denisovans, along with predicted functional effects from Ensembl's + Variant Effect Predictor (VEP). +

- Bulk downloads of the sequence and annotation data may be obtained from the Genome - Browser FTP server - or the - Downloads - page. Please observe the - conditions for use - when accessing and using these data sets. The annotation tracks for this browser - were generated by UCSC and collaborators worldwide. See the - Credits page for a - detailed list of the organizations and individuals who contributed to this release. + We'd like to thank Richard Green and the many authors of the Science paper + for providing the UCSC Genome Browser with these data. + We'd also like to acknowledge the hard work of the UCSC Genome Browser staff + who pulled together the annotations and information for these tracks: + Angie Hinrichs and Pauline Fujita.

+ 25 January 2013 - + Southern White Rhinoceros Genome Browser Release: + We are pleased to announce the release of a Genome Browser for the May 2012 + assembly of the Southern White Rhinoceros, Ceratotherium simum simum + (Broad Institute version cerSimSim1.0, UCSC version cerSim1). + Read more. +
