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 happy to announce an update to the VISTA Enhancers tracks for human +(GRCh38/hg38 +and GRCh37/hg19) +and mouse (GRCm39/mm39 +and GRCm38/mm10) +genome assemblies. The track shows potential enhancers whose activity was experimentally validated +in transgenic mice. With this update, the tracks now include over 1,900 new entries for the human +assemblies and over 2,500 new entries for the mouse assemblies. Hovering over an enhancer annotation +now displays the tissues in which the element is active. Most of these noncoding elements were +selected for testing based on their extreme conservation in other vertebrates or epigenomic +evidence (ChIP-Seq) of putative enhancer marks. More information on this track can be found on the +track description page.
++We would like to thank the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and the +VISTA Enhancer team for providing +this data. We would also like to thank Max Haeussler and Gerardo Perez for their efforts on this +release.
+We are happy to announce the release of the Pseudogenes track for the hg38 (GRCh38) genome assembly. The composite track contains pseudogene predictions and their corresponding parent genes, as identified by PseudoPipe, a homology-based computational pipeline that searches a mammalian genome and identifies pseudogene sequences.
This composite track consists of two subtracks: the Pseudogene Parents track and the Pseudogenes track.
