We are pleased to announce the release of updated GENCODE Genes annotation tracks for both the -hg38/GRCh37 and +hg38/GRCh38 and mm10/GRCm38 assemblies corresponding to the Ensembl 98 release.
The following table provides statistics for the human V32 and mouse VM23 releases derived -from the GTF files that contains annotations only on the main chromosomes. More information on how +from the GTF files that contain annotations only on the main chromosomes. More information on how these statistics were generated can be found on the GENCODE site.
| Genes & transcripts | human V32 Release stats | mouse V23 Release stats |
|---|---|---|
| Protein-coding Genes | 19,965 | 21,849 |
| Protein-coding transcripts | 83,986 | 59,188 |
| Long non-coding RNA genes | 17,910 | 13,201 |

We would like to thank the GENCODE team and thank Brian Raney, Mark Diekhans, Jairo Navarro, and Conner Powell at UCSC for their work on this track.
A new "group auto-scale" option is now available for signal tracks collected together in composites. The original auto-scale setting, which is still available, acts to auto-scale each track individually inside a composite group. With the new "group auto-scale" setting, all of the tracks within the composite will scale to the track with the highest auto-scale value viewed in the region.
For example, below is a side-by-side image of two views of the same data from a selection of cell lines within a composite of related RNA-seq experiments. On the left is the original "auto-scale to data view" setting, where each track is
