08 January 2016 - - dbSNP 144 Available for hg19 and hg39 + dbSNP 144 Available for hg19 and hg38

We are pleased to announce the release of four tracks derived from NCBI dbSNP Build 144 data, available on the two most recent human assemblies GRCh37/hg19 and GRCh38/hg38.

There are four SNP tracks available as part of this release. One is a track containing all mappings of reference SNPs to the human assembly, labeled "All SNPs (144)". The other three tracks are subsets of this track and show interesting and easily defined subsets of dbSNP:

  • Common SNPs (144): uniquely mapped variants that appear in at least 1% of the population or are 100% non-reference
  • Flagged SNPs (144): uniquely mapped variants, excluding Common SNPs, that have been flagged by dbSNP as "clinically associated"
  • Mult. SNPs (144): variants that have been mapped to more than one genomic location

By default, only the Common SNPs (144) are visible; other tracks must be made visible using the track controls. You will find the other SNPs (144) tracks on both of GRCh37/hg19 and GRCh38/hg38 browsers in the "Variation" group.

The tracks were produced at UCSC by Angie Hinrichs and Luvina Guruvadoo. We'd like to thank the dbSNP group at NCBI for providing access to these data.


21 December 2015 - Two New Assemblies Now Available in the Genome Browser

A Genome Browser is now available for the frog (Xenopus tropicalis) assembly released September 2012 by the US DOE Joint Genome Institute (JGI-PGF) (JGI v7.0, UCSC version xenTro7). For more information and statistics about this assembly, see the NCBI assembly record for Xtropicalis_v7. There are 7,728 scaffolds with a total size of 1,437,530,879 bases.

Bulk downloads of the sequence and annotation data may be obtained from the Genome Browser FTP server or the Downloads page. Please observe the conditions for use when accessing and using these data sets. The annotation tracks for this browser were generated by UCSC and collaborators woldwide. See the Credits page for a detailed list of the organizations and individuals who contributed to this release.

For more information and statistics about this assembly, see the NCBI assembly record for Felis_catus_8.0. There are 267,625 scaffolds with a total size of 2,641,342,258 bases.
