+ 1 June 2016 - New Density Graph Feature! +

+ The Genome Browser is proud to announce a new "density graph" feature for + a variety of tracks, including BAM custom tracks, that converts data into a summary display.

+

+ The density graph feature enables certain track types to be displayed as a bar graph where + the height is proportional to the number of reads mapped to each genomic position. + Through dynamic calculation of items in the current window, this feature plots a line + similar to a wiggle graph that can be customized with a number of + graph-based configuration options such as drawing indicator lines, + smoothing plots, adjusting graph height and vertical range, and switching from bars to + points. Please note that the feature is best displayed with Display mode set to full + and that the default is auto-Scale data to view. Please note that using this + feature on a virtual machine Genome Browser in a Box (GBiB) may benefit from + increasing memory.

+

+ To turn on the feature click into the track controls for certain track types, + such as a BAM custom track, and check the box next to "Display data as a + density graph" to see graph configurations and then click "Submit". + To see the new density graph feature in use, please see this example + session. +


+ 10 May 2016 - New Gateway Page!

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

  • 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.
