We are pleased to announce the release of the Illumina Global Diversity Array (GDA) for human (GRChg37/hg19). This track is included in the SNP/CNV composite track under the Variation group.
The Global Diversity Array-8 v1.0 BeadChip includes coverage of the ACMG 59-gene clinical research variants and multi-ethnic, genome-wide content. The GDA is the commercial version of the array chosen by the All of Us Research Program and is designed to capture a wider range of the world's populationsthan traditional microarrays.
We would like to thank Jay Kaufman and John Picuri at Illumina for providing the data. We would also like to thank Brian Raney and Jairo Navarro at UCSC for creating and reviewing the tracks for hg19.
- +We are pleased to announce two new Hi-C heatmap tracks now available on the Genome Browser for hg19 and hg38. They can be configured as square, triangular, or arc interactions. These heatmaps will soon be available to visualize custom data for Chromosome Conformation Capture (3C), Hi-C, and other high-density interaction based sequencing methods. This feature will be the next evolution of our support for 3C sequencing data, following the popular Interact format used in GeneHancer, which was made for low-density interactions.
