For more information + about the 100 species Conservation track, see its description page. + ++ We'd also like to acknowledge the hard work of the UCSC Genome Browser staff who pulled together + the information for this track: Hiram Clawson and Pauline Fujita. + ++ + 24 October 2013 - Job Opening: UCSC Genome Browser Trainer The Center for Biomolecular Science and Engineering (CBSE) at University of California Santa Cruz seeks an articulate, self-motivated educator for the two-year position of UCSC Genome Browser trainer. The trainer develops curriculum and provides in-person training on the UCSC Genome Browser at universities, hospitals, institutes, and professional meetings in the United States and internationally. Typical audiences include graduate and post-graduate biologists and doctors, with Genome Browser experience ranging from novice users to bioinformatics specialists. Presentations include formal talks, problem-solving sessions, and two-day workshops. This position requires a Master's degree in a biological science, depth in molecular biology, experience in a research environment, working knowledge of the UCSC Genome Browser, understanding of its role in research methodology, and experience teaching or training in a scientific environment. Preferred qualifications include a PhD in a relevant field, experience with video production, and experience with HTML or web content management systems.

One is a track - containing all mappings of reference SNPs to the human assembly, labeled - "All SNPs (138)". The other three tracks are subsets of this track and show - interesting and easily defined subsets of dbSNP: - -
- By default, only the Common SNPs (138) are visible; other tracks must be - made visible using the track controls. - + + + +23 October 2013 - dbSNP 138 Available for hg19: We are pleased to announce the release of four tracks derived from NCBI dbSNP Build 138 data, available on the human assembly (GRCh37/hg19).
