This should not affect your current browsing sessions; - if you were last looking at the hg19 (or older) browser, the Genome Browser will - continue to display that assembly for you when you start it up. There are circumstances, - however, in which the selected assembly can switch to the newer version. For instance, - the assembly will switch to hg38 if you reset your browser defaults. If you find - yourself in a situation where some of your favorite browser tracks have "disappeared", - you may want to check that you're viewing the right assembly. - </p> - <p> - We will continue our efforts to expand the annotation track set on the hg38 browser - to include many of the tracks present on previous human assemblies. In cases where - it makes sense, data may be simply "lifted" from hg19 using migration tools. - In many instances, however, we must rely on our data providers to generate new versions - of their data on the latest assembly. We will publish these data sets as they become available. + Do you often get the current sequence with "View - DNA" just to copy + and paste it into another website?
