12 February 2015 - Blat Your Assembly Hub

Assembly data hubs, track hubs that allow researchers to annotate genomes that are not in the UCSC Genome Browser, can now use blat to quickly find DNA and protein sequences in their unique assemblies.

While running remote blat servers with the gfServer utility, you can now add lines to your assembly hub's genomes.txt file to inform the Browser where to send blat searches. Or by downloading and installing a virtual machine Genome Browser In a Box (GBiB), you can alternatively locally run gfServers, preinstalled on GBiB, all from your laptop. For more information see the Assembly Hub Wiki and the new Quick Start Guide to Assembly Hubs.


11 February 2015 - dbSNP 142 Available for hg19 and hg38: We are pleased to announce the release of four tracks derived from NCBI dbSNP Build 142 data, available on the two most recent human assemblies GRCh37/hg19 and GRCh38/hg38. The new tracks contain a substantial amount of additional annotation data not included in previous dbSNP tracks, with corresponding coloring and filtering options in the Genome Browser. Read more.
