+ Happy Holidays from the UCSC Genome Browser! — Here's a card for you!
+ 16 December 2015 — + Output from Related Tables Now Available in the Data Integrator +
+ In the UCSC Genome Browser database, detailed information on the annotations for many tracks + is stored in extra tables. This information can include things such identifiers + in other databases, transcript status, or other descriptive information. You can now obtain + data from these related tables in your output from the + Data Integrator. +
+ ++ To add related tables to your Data Integrator output, first, select and add at least one + track to your data sources. Then, scroll down to the "Output Options" section and click the + button. + Lastly, at the bottom the section for each selected track, you will see a drop-down menu + labeled "Related tables" which allows you to select and add various tables to your output. +
+
+ For more information about using the Data Integrator, please see the + User Guide. +
+ ++ Thank you to Angie Hinrichs and Matthew Speir for their work on this feature. +
+ +9 December 2015 — Data from 1000 Genomes Project Phase 3 Now Available
We have made data from Phase 3 of the 1000 Genomes Project available for the hg19 version of the human assembly. The data includes almost 90 million variants in the form of single nucleotide variants (SNVs), insertions/deletions (InDels), and structural variants (SVs). Each variant includes a detail page that incorporates links to the variant in the dbSNP database, quality scores, and allele frequency information for various populations. More information is available on the track description page.
In addition to variant calls, the data includes two tracks that highlight regions of the @@ -94,36 +123,44 @@ Some of the available tools (not available for all assemblies or all zoom levels) are primer design and restriction enzyme predictions (Primer3Plus, Primer-BLAST, NEBCutter), mRNA and protein predictions (RegRNA 2, Riboswitches, RNAfold, PFAM), cis-regulatory predictions (Promoter 2, RSAT Metazoa), and CRISPR/Cas9 predictions (CRISPOR, CHOPCHOP), as well as links to view the region at NCBI or Ensembl. You can suggest other tools via our Suggestion Box.
