The +<a target="_blank" +href="https://cancer.sanger.ac.uk/cosmic/about">Catalogue Of Somatic Mutations In Cancer</a> +(COSMIC) is an online database of expert manually curated somatic mutation information relating to +human cancers.

The GENCODE "KnownGene" V44 for hg38 and VM33 gene tracks were built using a UCSC pipeline (KnownGene) and the GENCODE comprehensive gene set to generate high-quality manual annotations merged with evidence-based automated annotations. The GENCODE "KnownGene" tracks are our default gene tracks, which have extensive associations to external sources. This allows for additional metadata on every item as well as external links. The track description pages contain options for configuring the display, such as showing non-coding genes, splice variants, and pseudogenes. The track description pages for these tracks contain options for configuring the display such as also showing non-coding genes, splice variants, and pseudogenes.</p>
