+ 28 June 2013 + - New UCSC Genes Track Released for GRCh37/hg19 +

+

+ We're happy to announce the release of an updated UCSC Genes + track for the GRCh37/hg19 human Genome Browser. + The new release has 82,960 total transcripts, compared with + 80,922 in the previous version. The total number of canonical + genes has increased from 31,227 to 31,848. Comparing the new + gene set with the previous version: +

    +
  • 74,657 transcripts did not change between versions. +
  • 88 transcripts were not carried forward to the new version. +
  • 5,556 transcripts are "compatible" with those in the previous set, + meaning that the two transcripts show consistent splicing. + In most cases, the old and new transcripts differ in the + lengths of their UTRs. +
  • 621 transcripts overlap with those in the previous set but + do not show consistent splicing, i.e., they contain overlapping + introns with differing splice sites. +
+

+

+ 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! +

27 June 2013 - New Official European Mirror Released

The UCSC Genome Browser is pleased to announce the introduction of a new mirror site to serve our users in Europe. Genome-euro is an official European mirror site of the UCSC Genome Browser, at http://genome-euro.ucsc.edu. The server is physically located at the Universität Bielefeld Center for Biotechnology in Bielefeld, Germany, and is administered by UCSC. Genome-euro is meant to be an alternate, faster access point for those Browser users who are geographically closer to central Europe than to the western United States.

All functionality will be the same as on the US server, although Custom Tracks will not be transfered. Saved Sessions containing Custom Tracks will require some manual intervention.

When European users navigate to the US server home page and click the "Genomes" menu item, they will receive a notification that they have been redirected to the more geographically-appropriate server. They will have the option to remain on the US server, as described in our documentation.

The backup mirror in Aarhus, Denmark will continue to serve as an emergency site in the event of the official sites in California and Germany malfunctioning.

We wish to express our special thanks to our colleagues at the Universität Bielefeld Bioinformatics, especially Jens Stoye, for making this possible.

26 June 2013 - Suggestion Box Released

Due to popular demand, we have created a suggestion box for track, assembly, tool, and other requests. All suggestions will be assigned a reference number so that you may follow up on their progress with our staff. Please limit the use of this form to requests for new features; questions and reports of problems about existing features and data should continue to be directed to our mailing lists. You may reach the suggestion box from the Contact Us page or by clicking here.
