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 annouce the release the Bionano DLE-1 track for human assemblies +hg38 and +hg19. +These tracks shows the CTTAAG sites used by the +Bionano Optical Genome Mapping system, an +assay to detect structural variants. +
++OGM (Optical Genome Mapping) begins with the isolation of ultra-high molecular weight (UHMW) DNA +from blood, bone marrow aspirates, cultured cells (including chorionic villi and amniocytes), +tissue, or tumor biopsies. A single enzymatic reaction places fluorescent labels all throughout +the genome at a specific sequence motif. The labeled DNA molecules are linearized in nanochannel +arrays on the chip. Changes in the patterning or spacing of the labels are identified by software +solutions to accurately detect all classes of structural variants. The OGM data generated can be +analyzed alone, or in combination with sequencing or array data.
++We would like to thank Bionano Laboratories for providing the BED files for the OGM data. We would +also like to thank Max Haeussler and Jairo Navarro for the creation and release of the UCSC Genome +Browser tracks. +
+We have two new pathogenicity prediction score tracks available in our Deleteriousness Predictions super track.
