+ 5 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. +

+ Stacked screenshot +

+ 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. 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.

- 18 April 2014 - - 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. -

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.
