12 December 2014 - New D. melanogaster (dm6) Assembly Now Available in the Genome Browser

We are pleased to announce the release of a Genome Browser for the August 2014 assembly of Drosophila melanogaster (BDGP Release 6, UCSC version dm6). This updated D. melanogaster assembly was provided by the Berkeley Drosophila Genome Project (BDGP). Please see this announcement on the FlyBase website for more details about this updated D. melanogaster assembly.

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 D. melanogaster (dm6) 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.


29 October 2014 - Genome Browser in a Box (GBiB)

Sometimes you just want to keep your genomics data to yourself. Have you ever hesitated when uploading your data set into the UCSC Genome Browser? If so, you'll be happy to know that we have created a stand-alone personal version: Genome Browser in a Box (GBiB). If you have sensitive genomics data that you would like to view securely on your own laptop in the context of the UCSC Genome Browser, GBiB is for you.

GBiB is an easy-to-install personal copy of the Genome Browser that comes preloaded with the most popular annotation tracks for human. It is highly configurable — you can access or download other annotation tracks of interest, or view any of the other 90+ organisms featured in the public Genome Browser. GBiB runs inside of Oracle's free VirtualBox virtual machine. It has the same core functionality as the UCSC Genome Browser, but keeps your data private and local to your own computer.

GBiB is free for non-commercial use by non-profit organizations, academic institutions, and for personal use. Commercial use requires purchase of a license with setup fee and annual payment. Download or purchase GBiB in our secure online store.

You can read more about GBiB on our blog, or in the help doc.
