- 17 March 2015 - New Visualization Option for RepeatMasker
+ 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. 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
Institute 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.

- 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.
