- The UCSC Genome Browser team is proud to announce a newly designed - Gateway web page. - While the main functionality remains unchanged as a gateway to all available - genome browsers on all available genome assemblies, several helpful new - features have been added:
+ The UCSC Genome Browser team is proud to announce a newly redesigned + Genome Browser Gateway page. + The Gateway retains its original functionality as a central access point for all genome assemblies + available on our site, while sporting several helpful new features and updates:- Please see our new UCSC Genome Browser Gateway video - for an introduction to these new features. As we continue to expand our - collection of high-quality, reviewed data by adding more genome assemblies - to our public site, the new autocomplete search functionality provides an - improved method for navigating to genome assemblies. As an alternative to - scrolling through long drop-down menus of genome assembly options, you can - now simply enter assembly search terms for autocomplete recognition, - providing quick access to your genome assembly of interest.
+ Please see our Gateway video for an introduction to these new features. +- Please note the following differences in navigation, which used to appear - as links directly from the previous version of the Gateway web page. New - navigation for the following tools can all be found in the top horizontal - blue menu bar:
+ The new Gateway addresses the need for streamlined access to the rapidly + growing number of genome assemblies available on our public site. + As an alternative to scrolling through long drop-down menus of genome assemblies, you can + now simply type in assembly search terms for autocomplete recognition, visually scroll + through our collection, or click a button to access our most popular species. + ++ Note that a few browser utilities that were previously accessed through links and buttons on the + Gateway page have been moved to the top menu bar: +
We would like to acknowledge the following people for their contributions to the new Gateway: original art by Jeff West Design, concept by Robert Kuhn, software design by Angie Hinrichs, and quality assurance by Cath Tyner.
