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 search for any genome browser, genome version, or public hub
- - Species browsing by scrolling through a visual

- 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"
- - Configure Tracks and Display: "Genome Browser" > "Configure"
+ - 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
+ - Configure tracks and display: Genome Browser > Configure
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.
