19 June 2014 - Conservation Track Released for Rat

- We are pleased to announce the release of a new Conservation track based on the rat (RGSC 5.0/rn5) assembly. - This track shows multiple alignments of 13 vertebrate species and measurements of evolutionary - conservation using two methods (phastCons and phyloP) from the PHAST package for all species. The - multiple alignments were generated using multiz and other tools in the UCSC/Penn State Bioinformatics - comparative genomics alignment pipeline. Conserved elements identified by phastCons are also displayed - in this track. For more details, visit the - track description page. + We are pleased to announce the release of a new Conservation track based on the rat + (RGSC 5.0/rn5) assembly.

- With the release of this new conservation track for the rat (RGSC 5.0/rn5) assembly, we have changed the - default rat browser on our website from rn4 to rn5. In general, the Genome Browser will continue to display - whichever rat assembly you are already viewing, however, by default it will go to the rn5 assembly for users - that haven't recently viewed a rat assembly. However, there are circumstances in which the assembly may - switch to the newer version (for instance, if you reset your browser to the defaults). If you find yourself - in a situation where some of your favorite browser tracks have "disappeared", you may want to check that - you're viewing the right assembly. + With the release of this new conservation track, we have changed the default rat browser on + our website from rn4 to rn5.
