New Cow (bosTau8) Assembly Now Available in the Genome Browser
We are pleased to announce the release of a Genome Browser for the June 2014 assembly
of cow, Bos taurus (Bos_taurus_UMD 3.1.1, UCSC version bosTau8). This updated cow assembly was
provided by the UMD Center for Bioinformatics and Computational Biology (CBCB). This
assembly is an update to the previous UMD 3.1 (bosTau6) assembly. UMD 3.1 contained
138 unlocalized contigs that were found to be contaminants.
These have been suppressed in UMD 3.1.1.
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 cow 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.
