+ 02 April 2015 - + New Tariser (tarSyr2) Assembly Now Available in the Genome Browser +

+ We are pleased to announce the release of a Genome Browser for the September 2013 + assembly of tarsier, Tarsius syrichta (WashU Tarsius_syrichta-2.0.1, + UCSC version tarSyr2). The whole genome shotgun assembly was provided by + Washington University. + There are 337,189 scaffolds with a total size of 3,453,864,774 bases. +

+

+ 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 tarsier (tarSyr2) 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. +

01 April 2015 - New GRCz10 Zebrafish Assembly Now Available

The most recent zebrafish assembly -- GRCz10 (UCSC version danRer10, Sep. 2014) -- is now available in the UCSC Genome Browser. This is the first zebrafish release by the Genome Reference Consortium, who took over the improvement and maintenance of the zebrafish genome assembly.

The GRCz10 assembly improves upon Zv9 by utilizing optical mapping and additional meiotic mapping to fill gaps with new clone sequence and improve the positioning of assembly components. This has also been supplemented with a new whole genome shotgun assembly WGS31. The result is an assembly with a sequence length of 1.3 Gb in 26 chromosomes and 1,035 scaffolds. For more details about the GRCz10 assembly, see the GRCz10 assembly page or the official GRCz10 announcement.

The danRer10 sequence and annotation data can be downloaded from the UCSC Genome Browser FTP server or downloads page.

We'd like to thank the Genome Reference Consortium for providing this assembly. The UCSC zebrafish Genome Browser was produced by Hiram Clawson, Brian Raney and Steve Heitner. See the credits page for a detailed list of the organizations and individuals who contributed to this release.


20 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. Read more. -

- 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. - Read more. - -
