You can sign-up to get these announcements via our Genome-announce email list. We send around one short announcement email every two weeks.
Smaller software changes are not announced here. A summary of the three-weekly release changes can be found here. For the full list of our daily code changes head to our GitHub page. Lastly, see our credits page for acknowledgments of the data we host.
+ ++We are excited to announce the release of the CIViC track for hg19/GRCh37 and +hg38/GRCh38. +The +Clinical Interpretation of Variants in Cancer (CIViC) is an online database of clinically +relevant variant interpretations from expert- and crowd-sourced peer-reviewed literature, clinical +trials, and some conference abstracts. The details page for a feature will list diseases and +therapies that have been associated with a genomic variant. Visiting the CIViC page for a variant +will allow browsing the Molecular Profiles associated with that variant, and in turn each Molecular +Profile shows the Clinical Evidence and Assertions for various diseases and therapies. +
+ ++This track reflects the monthly data summaries published by CIViC. The +latest information is always available directly on the CIViC website +or by its API. +
+ ++We would like to thank the CIViC contributers and organizers for curating the database and for +providing the data to UCSC. We would also like to thank Charlie Vaske and Jairo Navarro for the +creation and release of these tracks.
We are happy to announce the release of the new COSMIC track for hg19/GRCh37 and an update for the hg38/GRCh38. The Catalogue Of Somatic Mutations In Cancer (COSMIC) is an online database of expert manually curated somatic mutation information relating to human cancers. The COSMIC track displays data from the COSMIC v101 release, which includes Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) data from 383 samples, including 305 individuals exposed to ionizing radiation as children during the 1986 Chernobyl accident and 78 individuals born after 1986.
