Genome Browser contacts:
We maintain two public interactive mailing lists
(genome@soe.ucsc.edu
and genome-mirror@soe.ucsc.edu)
where you can post specific questions about the UCSC Genome Browser
software, database, genome assemblies, release cycles, and mirroring.
For more information on the genome-mirror mailing list, see the
Mirroring section below.
We also offer a third read-only mailing list reserved for project
announcements posted by our staff.
Prior to posting a question to the mailing list, please review
our technical support
guidelines or read
this
PLoS Comp Bio editorial.
Many questions have been answered before; we strongly encourage you to
search the archives before submitting a question to either list.

Reporting server problems:
Server errors or other problems accessing the UCSC Genome Browser or
BLAT server should be sent to
genome-www@soe.ucsc.edu.
Regular weekly maintenance of the Genome Browser database occurs on
Sunday afternoons between the hours of 2:00 - 3:00 p.m. Pacific Time.
Although we allocate an hour for this maintenance, the actual down time
is usually only a few minutes. Occasionally, additional
maintenance is scheduled by the School of Engineering. These
service interruptions are posted on the Genome Browser home page.
Suggestions and Comments:
If you have ideas for how we can improve this browser with new tracks,
utilities, or other features, please leave a note in the suggestion box.
To follow up on the status of an existing suggestion, you may contact
us at
genome-www@soe.ucsc.edu.
Please include the reference number of your suggestion in the email.
