+ 17 March 2015 - New Visualization Option for RepeatMasker +

+ We are excited to announce the release of the new RepeatMasker Visualization track for the + hg38 and mm10 assemblies. This new RepeatMasker track displays detailed information that + includes the amount of unaligned repeat sequence and lines joining repeat fragments. + Additionally, repeats are now colored based on their repeat class. This new RepeatMasker + track incorporates a new details page that includes the detailed RepeatMasker output and + the raw alignment used to generate the final repeat annotation. You can read more about + this track on the description page for either + hg38 or + mm10. +

+ +

+ This track is the result of a collaboration between the + Insitute for Systems Biology + and the UCSC Genome Browser. We would like to thank Robert Hubley, Arian Smit, Hiram + Clawson, and Matthew Speir for their efforts in creating this track. +

03 March 2015 - Use UDR for Quick Sizable Downloads

The UCSC Genome Browser is pleased to share a download protocol to use when downloading large sets of files from our download servers: UDR (UDT Enabled Rsync). UDR utilizes rsync as the transport mechanism, but sends the data over the UDT protocol, which enables huge amounts of data to be downloaded efficiently over long distances.

Protocols like http, ftp and rsync can have a problem in that the further away the download source is from the user, the slower the speed becomes. Protocols like UDT/UDR allow for many UDP packets to be sent in batch, thus allowing for much higher transmit speeds over long distances. UDR will be especially useful for users who are downloading from places that are far away from California. The US East Coast and the international community will likely see much higher download speeds by using UDR rather than rsync, http or ftp. Read more.
