+ 100 Species Conservation Track now available on hg19
+
+
+ After 15.4 years of CPU run-time in 9,905,594 individual 'jobs' and 99 cluster runs for lastz
+ pair-wise alignment...we are excited to announce the release of a 100 species alignment on the
+ hg19/GRCh37 human Genome Browser.
+
+
+ This new Conservation track shows multiple alignments of 100 species and measurements of
+ evolutionary conservation using two methods (phastCons and phyloP) from the PHAST package.
+ This adds 40 more species to the existing 60way on the mm10 mouse browser. 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.

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.
For more information and to apply for this position, see
Job #1304619 on the UCSC Staff
Employment website.

- dbSNP Build 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).
- The new tracks contain additional annotation data not included in previous dbSNP
- tracks, with corresponding coloring and filtering options in the Genome Browser.
-
-
- As was the case for the annotations based on the previous dbSNP build 137, there are
- four tracks in this release. 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:
-
-
- - Common SNPs (138): uniquely mapped variants that appear in at least 1%
- of the population or are 100% non-reference
-
- Flagged SNPs (138): uniquely mapped variants, excluding Common SNPs,
- that have been flagged by dbSNP as "clinically associated"
-
- Mult. SNPs (138): variants that have been mapped to more than one genomic location
-
-
- By default, only the Common SNPs (138) are visible; other tracks must be
- made visible using the track controls.
