+ 15 May 2014 - + New UCSC Gene Track Released for GRCh38/hg38 + +
+ We're happy to announce the release of a new UCSC Genes track for the + GRCh38/hg38 human Genome Browser. + The new release has 104,178 transcripts, compared with 82,960 in the previous + version on hg19. The total number of canonical genes has increased from + 31,848 to 48,424. Comparing the new gene set with the previous version: +
+ +-
+
- 69,691 transcripts did not change between versions. +
- 619 transcripts were not carried forward to the new version. +
- 8,879 transcripts are "compatible" with those in the previous set, + meaning that the two transcripts show consistent splicing. +
- 3,393 transcripts overlap with those in the previous set. +
+ 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! +

09 May 2014 - Three New Assemblies Now Available in the Genome Browser
A Genome Browser is now available for the Chinese hamster (Cricetulus griseus) assembly released July 2013 by the Beijing Genomics Institution-Shenzhen (BGI version C_griseus_v1.0, UCSC version criGri1). For more information and statistics about this assembly, see the NCBI assembly record for C_griseus_v1.0. There are 52,711 scaffolds with a total size of 2,360,146,428 bases.

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 woldwide.

- 05 May 2014 - - Introducing the new stacked overlay for multi-wiggle tracks -
- We are excited to announce the release of the new stacked - overlay method for multi-wiggle tracks. This new stacked overlay - method displays each graph stacked on top of each other. -
-
- - Navigate to the track settings for H3K27Ac Mark on the human hg19 assembly to view this new stacked - overlay method on a multi-wiggle track. On the track settings page, - from the "Overlay method" drop-down menu select "stacked". Make sure - that the display mode is not set to hide, and click submit. -
-- Credit for the implementation and testing of this new feature goes to - Brian Raney and Matthew Speir. -

29 Apr 2014 - 100-species Conservation track re-release: We released the initial version of the 100-species Conservation track for the hg19 human assembly in November 2013. Over the past few months, we found a couple of inconsistencies and decided, for the integrity of the data, that we should rerun the computation pipeline and re-release the data. Read more
-- 18 April 2014 - - New Motif Displays and New Genome Segmentations from ENCODE: - The Browser's default displayed - Transcription Factor ChIP-seq track - updated to the latest release, enhanced with the display of Factorbook motifs. And the Browser added - Genome - Segmentations from ENCODE tracks, which segment the genome into twenty-five states that were then grouped - and colored to highlight predicted functional elements. - Read more. -
