New Rat (rn6) Assembly Now Available in the Genome Browser
We are excited to announce the release of a Genome Browser for the July 2014 assembly
of rat, Rattus norvegicus (RGSC Rnor_6.0, UCSC version rn6)! This
assembly is provided by the Rat Genome Sequencing Consortium, which is comprised of
eight research organizations across the United States and Canada and led by the
Baylor College of Medicine.
The new RGSC Rnor_6.0 assembly contains a new, partially assembled Y chromosome
as well as improvements to other regions of the genome. You can find more information
on the RGSC's efforts to sequence rat genome on the Baylor College of Medicine's
project page.
Bulk downloads of the sequence and annotation data are available via the Genome
Browser
FTP server
or the
Downloads
page. These data have
specific conditions for use.
The rat (rn6) browser annotation tracks were generated by UCSC and
collaborators worldwide. See the
Credits page for a detailed
list of the organizations and individuals who contributed to this release.
