+ 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.

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. The fixes required minimal changes, and resulted in a more
precise data set. We published the new version of the hg19 100-species
Conservation track on 15 April 2014.
Here are more details about the two fixes that we made:
1. We tracked down the cause of some unusual gaps in the alignments to a
bug in the multiz program used in our alignment pipeline. The Penn State
Bioinformatics Group provided us with a fixed version of multiz that we
used to rerun the pipeline.
2. We inadvertently used the pre-release assembly for one of the species
in the 100-way alignment: the panda. We replaced this assembly with the
correct version and verified that the data sets for all other species
were correct before rerunning the pipeline.

- New Motif Displays for Transcription Factor ChIP-seq Track and New Genome Segmentations from ENCODE
-
- The Browser's default displayed Transcription Factor ChIP-seq track is updating to the
- latest data release,
- which has been enhanced with the display of Factorbook motifs. Within a cluster, a green
- highlight indicates the highest scoring site of a Factorbook-identified canonical motif for the
- corresponding factor. Upon clicking a transcription factor's cluster with a motif, the details page
- now displays the motif's sequence logo, alignment and underlying Positional Weight Matrix. Also,
- the track configuration page now enables the filtering of factors.
-
-
- The newly added
- Genome Segmentations from ENCODE tracks display multivariate genome-segmentation performed on
- six human cell types
- (GM12878, K562, H1-hESC, HeLa-S3, HepG2, and HUVEC), integrating ChIP-seq data for
-
- eight chromatin marks, RNA Polymerase II, the CTCF transcription factor and input data. In total,
- twenty-five states were used to segment the genome, and these states were then grouped and colored to
- highlight predicted functional elements. These Genome Segmentations are the same data as
- found in the Analysis Working Group Hub, but are now hosted natively in the Browser with enhanced
- filtering capability where desired segmented states can be selected using the
- 'Filter by Segment Type' control on the track configuration page.

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.
