The genome-asia server <a href="http://genome-asia.ucsc.edu" target="_blank">(http://genome-asia.ucsc.edu)</a>, which is administered by UCSC, is physically located at the <a href="http://www.yokohama.riken.jp/english/" target="_blank">RIKEN Yokohama Campus</a> in Japan. </p> <p> Genome-asia is intended as an alternate, faster access point for those Browser users who are geographically closer to Asia than to the western United States. The mirror is functionally identical to the U.S.-based server, with one exception. Custom tracks residing on the U.S. server are not automatically accessible from the genome-asia mirror; therefore, the use of these custom tracks and saved sessions containing them will require some manual intervention. </p> <p> Genome Browser users located in Asia will be automatically redirected to genome-asia when they click the "Genomes" menu item on the Genome Browser home page, but will have - the option to remain on the U.S.-based server (see documentation). In addition to the + the option to remain on the U.S.-based server. In addition to the genome-asia mirror, we continue to support a Europe-based Genome Browser mirror <a href="http://genome-euro.ucsc.edu" target="_blank">(http://genome-euro.ucsc.edu)</a> in Bielefeld, Germany. A third-party mirror in <a href="http://genome-mirror.moma.ki.au.dk/" target="_blank">Aarhus, Denmark</a>, is available as an emergency backup in the rare event that our three supported sites are offline. </p> <p> We wish to express our special thanks to Dr. Hideya Kawaji at the <a href="http://www.riken.jp/en/research/labs/accc/" target="_blank">RIKEN Advanced Center for Computing and Communication</a> for making this possible. We would also like to acknowledge the following members of the UCSC Genome Browser team for their efforts: Galt Barber, Robert Kuhn, Jorge Garcia, and Luvina Guruvadoo. </p> <hr> <font color="#006666" size="4"><b>6 June 2016 - New video: Exon-only mode</b></font> </P> We are pleased to announce the release to our YouTube channel of a new training <A HREF = "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNEJBOkf_Gk" TARGET = _BLANK>video</A>, in which we demonstrate the recently released Multi-Region feature in exon-only mode. This feature is useful for those studying gene expression or undertaking whole-exome sequencing. By removing intronic and intergenic regions, exon-only mode shows the portion (sometimes as little as a few percent) of the genome most useful for these analyses. </P> <P> This video is <A HREF ="training/vids/#vid09" TARGET = _BLANK>indexed</A> to allow easy access to relevant sections and comes with a transcript for the hard-of-hearing. </P> <P> Thanks to Robert Kuhn and David Gibson for production. </P> <hr> <font color="#006666" size="4"><b>1 June 2016 - New Density Graph Feature!</b></font> <p> 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.</p> <p> 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 <a href="goldenPath/help/hgWiggleTrackHelp.html" target="_blank">graph-based configuration options</a> 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 <a href="goldenPath/help/gbib.html#GbibMirroring" target="_blank">virtual machine Genome Browser in a Box (GBiB)</a> may benefit from increasing memory.</p> <p> 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 <a href="cgi-bin/hgTracks?hgS_doLoadUrl=submit&hgS_loadUrlName=http://genome.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/help/examples/sessions/session.hg19.densityGraph&hgct_customText=track%20type=bam%20name=bamExample%20visibility=full%20bigDataUrl=http://genome.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/help/examples/bamExample.bam%20doWiggle=1" target="_blank">session</a>. <p> Thanks to Brian Raney for the implementation of this feature.</p> <hr> <!-- start archives --> <!--staged for future release <p> <font color="#006666" size="4"><b>6 June 2016 - New video: Exon-only mode</b></font> We are proud to announce a new <A HREF = "">video</A> demonstrating the exon-only feature.
