+ ++We are pleased to announce the addition of new +Illumina Array tracks for the +GRCh38/hg38 and +GRCh37/hg19 human +assemblies. These tracks are contained in the Array Probsets composite track. +
+The Illumina 450k and 850k tracks quantitatively interrogate methylation sites across the genome at +single-nucleotide resolution. The Illumina 850k CytoSNP track contains approximately 850,000 +empirically selected SNPs spanning the entire genome with enriched coverage for 3,262 genes of known +cytogenetics relevance in both constitutional and cancer applications.
++We would like to thank Illumina for providing the data. We would also like to thank Jairo Navarro, +Brooke Rhead, and Gerardo Perez for their efforts on this release.
+We are pleased to announce the release of NCBI's dbSNP build 155 data for GRCh38/hg38 and GRCh37/hg19 human assemblies. The release reaches a new milestone of over 1 billion RefSNP (rs) records. For hg38 (GRCh38), approximately 998 million distinct variants (RefSNP clusters with rs# ids) have been mapped to more than 1.06 billion genomic locations including alternate haplotype and fix patch sequences. dbSNP remapped variants from hg38 to hg19 (GRCh37); approximately 981 million distinct variants were mapped to more than 1.02 billion genomic locations including alternate haplotype and fix patch sequences (not all of which are included in UCSC's hg19).
