10 May 2016 - New Gateway Page!

- 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:

  • Autocomplete searching for any genome browser, genome version, or public hub
  • +
  • Species browsing through a scrollable visual "tree" menu based on phylogenetic order
  • Quick access shortcuts to popular browsers
  • New style and color scheme

- 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: +

    -
  • Browser Reset: "Genome Browser" > "Reset All User Settings"
  • -
  • Track Search: "Genome Browser" > "Track Search"
  • -
  • Add Custom Tracks: "My Data" > "Custom Tracks"
  • -
  • Track Hubs: "My Data" > "Track Hubs"

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.


22 Apr 2016 - Data from the Lens PatSeq Database Now Available: We are pleased to announce the release of a set of tracks containing data from the Lens PatSeq database in the UCSC Genome Browser. Read more.

19 April 2016 - New Genotyping Tissue Expression Track for hg19 and hg38!: We are excited to announce the release of a new track based on data from the Genotyping Tissue Expression Consortium V6 data freeze. Read more.
