+ 8 Mar 2016 + - Combine Multiple Regions of the Genome Browser into a Single Visualization! +
+ Have ever wished you could remove all of the intronic or intergenic regions from the + Genome Browser display? Have you ever dreamed of being able to visualize multiple + far-flung regions of a genome? Well, now you can with the new "multi-region" option + in the Genome Browser! +
+ ++ The multi-region modes provide four different ways to manipulate the display. + First, we have an "exon-only" mode that allows you to + remove all of the intergenic and intronic sequences from the display, leaving you with + only the exonic regions. Next, there is the "gene-only" mode allowing you to remove only + the intergenic regions from the display, leaving the genes with exons and introns intact. + Then there is the "custom regions" mode that allows you to use a remote BED file to + specify the regions you are interested in viewing alongside each other. Lastly, for human + assemblies hg17 and newer, there is the "alternative haplotype" mode that allows you to + view a haplotype sequence inserted into its position in the reference genome. +
+ ++ To access these exciting, new multi-region modes, first select your organism and assembly + of interest and navigate to the Genome Browser visualization. Below the tracks display, + there is a button labeled "multi-region". Clicking this button will bring up + a configuration box for the different multi-region modes. For example: +
+ +
+ 
+
+ From this pop-up, you will be able to switch between the different modes or exit these + multi-region modes if desired. For instance: +
+ +
+ 
+
+ Additionally, you can enter the "Exon-only" mode by typing the keyboard shortcut + "e" then "v". You can exit any of the multi-region modes and return to the + default Genome Browser display by typing the keyboard shortcut "d" then "v". +
+ ++ For more information about each individual multi-region mode, please see the + User Guide. +
+ ++ Thank you to Galt Barber, Matthew Speir, and the entire UCSC Genome Browser quality assurance team for + all of their efforts in creating these exciting new display modes. +
+ +10 February 2016 - Two New Assemblies Now Available in the Genome Browser
A Genome Browser is now available for the mouse lemur (Microcebus murinus) assembly released May 2015 by the The Broad Institute and the Baylor College of Medicine Human Genome Sequencing Center. For more information and statistics about this assembly, see the NCBI assembly record for Mmur_2.0. There are 10,311 scaffolds with a total size of 2,438,804,424 bases.

There are 201,525 scaffolds with a total size of 1,996,826,513 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 worldwide.

-- 20 Jan 2016 - - dbSNP 142 Available for mm10 -
- Data from dbSNP build 142 is now available for the most recent mouse - assembly (mm10/GRCm38). As was the case for previous annotations - based on dbSNP data, there are three tracks in this release. - One is a track containing all mappings of reference SNPs to the - mouse assembly, labeled "All SNPs (142)". The other two tracks - are subsets of this track and show different interesting and - easily defined subsets of dbSNP: -
--
-
- Common SNPs (142): uniquely mapped variants that appear in - at least 1% of the population -
- Mult. SNPs (142): variants that have been mapped to more - than one genomic location -
- By default, only the Common SNPs (142) are visible. The other - tracks can be made visible using the track controls. - These three SNPs (142) tracks can be found on the Mouse Dec. - 2011 (mm10/GRCm38) browser in the "Variation and Repeats" group. -
- Thank you to the - dbSNP group at NCBI for making these data publicly available. - The tracks were produced at UCSC by Brian Raney, Angie Hinrichs - and Matthew Speir. - -20 Jan 2016 — dbSNP 142 Available for mm10 Read more. --->
