++We are pleased to announce new GENCODE Gene annotation tracks, which correspond +to Ensembl 100, for three assemblies: hg19/GRCh37, +hg38/GRCh38, +and mm10/GRCm38. +For human, the GENCODE V34 annotations were mapped to hg38/GRCh38 and then back-mapped +to the hg19/GRCh37 assembly. For all three assemblies, the gene sets contain the following +tracks:
++The hg38 and mm10 assemblies also include the following tracks that are not available on hg19: +
++Details on each release can be found on the GENCODE site. This includes statistics on each release. +
We would like to thank the GENCODE project for providing these +annotations. We would also like to thank Mark Diekhans and Daniel Schmelter for the development and +release of these tracks.
+ + +We are excited to announce an update to the GTEx V8 for the gene expression track +based on data from the +NIH Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) project. This track displays +tissue-specific gene expression based on RNA-seq in 54 tissues from 948 donors +released in August 2019. +The original data for this track can be found at the GTEX Portalhosted by the Broad Institute. + +This track features a horizontal bar chart for each GENCODE gene, resulting in +colored bars which show median tissue expression values assayed by the GTEx project in RPKM. +Mouse over the bar in the graph shows a tissue specific expression value, while clicking on a chart +shows a much larger box-and-wiskers graph for that transcript. The complete tissue color legend +and filters are shown on the GTEx track configuration page. +Below the bar graph, a line is shown indicating the gene extent that was used to +generate the annotation, colored by gene class using GENCODE conventions +(e.g. blue for protein-coding, green for non-coding). +

+Thank you Kate Rosenbloom and Daniel Schmelter for developing and releasing these tracks
+ +We are pleased to announce the release of a new video on our YouTube channel, designed to help make the Browser more accessible to those not usually using the Genome Browser, especially virologists and molecular biologists developing assays and vaccines. The video highlights many features that regular Browser users may already know, but in the context of SARS-CoV-2 genome assembly. The Browser coronavirus tour highlights RT-PCR data, UniProt , crowd-sourced data, T-cell Reactive epitopes and comparative genomics data for viral isolates from around the world and those
