The script generateTipOfDay.py runs weekdays and overwrites the tipOfDay page using the raw page, saving the used tips in a hash file on the running user (e.g. hive qateam), then recycling the list picking a random tip again once the full list has been run through. This is page and allTips page are autoPushed daily.

It supports VCF upload and other formats. +The Browser tracks display offers keyboard shortcuts for most common actions, including zooming, highlighting, and viewing DNA. Press the question mark (?) key from the tracks display to see all shortcuts. +You can right-click most items to zoom in on them, or highlight them in the image. For gene tracks, you can also zoom to specific exons or codons.

Right click zoom? +You can configure the tracks display font size, tooltip text size, label area width, and more by clicking the below the image, using the keyboard shortcut (type "c" then "f"), or via the menu (Genome Browser then Configure).

Configure options +You can color and download DNA sequence based on any data tracks. While on the track display, type "v d" (View - DNA), then select "extended case/color options" and adjust whether you want annotated bases colored, underlined, or bold, and click "submit". +From the Base Position track description page you can enter motifs to highlight, edit the amino acid reading frames display, and even add a title to the Browser image.

Edit image title +We offer a REST API available under the menu (Downloads then REST API) that can return almost all data available in the Browser in JSON format. It also has additional endpoints, such as /list/schema, that can retrieve the internal organization of track data stanzas (trackDb), which is otherwise unavailable. +We offer a scalable (vector-based) graphic of your current tracks display, suitable for use in publications, via the menu (View then PDF). This PDF can then be used with your editor of choice (e.g. Adobe illustrator) to edit and export the image as PNG, TIFF, SVG, or PDF with the dpi (dots per inch value) of your choice. +You can download the PNG image of your current display via right click -> View image, or by changing hgTracks in the URL bar to hgRenderTracks. The hgRenderTracks approach provides programmatic access to the PNG image. For publications, use the menu option (View then PDF) for a scalable image. +We offer Recommended Track Sets for hg19 and hg38 that display a pre-set browser configuration based on specific areas of interest. These include SNV interpretation, CNV interpretation, and non-coding SNV interpretation.

RTS menu +The Track Collection Builder (My Data > Track Collection Builder) allows multiple signal tracks to be copied and grouped together into one composite. Signal tracks in a composite container can then be overlaid, auto-scaled, sorted by similarity, and more. +The best way to find what data is available for an assembly is Track Search, found by keyboard shortcut (t then s), in the menu bar (Genome Browser > Track Search) or the button underneath the tracks image. You can also search Public Hub data by using the Advanced tab. +We offer 10Gb of free storage space to every user. First, log in or create an account, then go to Hub Upload under My Data > Track Hubs. You can also upload bigBed and bigWig files for immediate visualization. +You can download all visible data in the current browser region from the tracks display. This allows for improved reproducibility, writing variant reports, or publications. Download track data in view can be found in the Download menu.

Download track data in view +We support various kinds of searching from the tracks display address bar. You can use HGVS terms (NM_198056.2:c.1A>C), gnomAD style variants (1-55051215-G-GA), BLAT sequences directly from the search box, documentation, and more. +We have a page that provides information about accessibility options in the UCSC Genome Browser, including internal configuration settings and third-party tools. +The best way to find an assembly is the search box on our Gateway page. If your assembly of interest is not available, you can request nearly any Genbank assembly as long as it has a GCA or GCF accession. +The best way to share the URL of a Genome Browser display is with a Session link. Displays from copying and pasting the URL from the address bar can change over time, but session links remain constant indefinitely, making them suitable for publications as well. You can even customize the backend: https://genome.ucsc.edu/s/view/HappyNewYear +You can slice the Browser display into different regions, stitched together into a single display, using Multi-region mode. A common use of this mode is to display only the exons of a gene, which is useful when analyzing exon sequencing data. Enable this mode with the button next to the tracks display search bar.

Multi region button +Our Short Match tool allows you to search for any short (2-30 base) sequence. All matches of the motif within the displayed position range are then shown. You can find it by clicking into the Short Match track in the Mapping and Sequencing track group, or via the menu bar from the tracks display (Genome Browser > Short Exact DNA Match). +Be sure to check our home page often! We regularly update our news with the latest releases, our Meetings and Workshops (come say hello!), and the Sharing data section which displays images and descriptions from our Public Sessions created by users like you. Also, new tips like this one daily! +Want to use the Browser as a teaching tool? We offer teaching modules covering various genomic topics aimed at an undergraduate level. We also have various slide decks, contact us for more details! +You can convert annotations between different assemblies using the LiftOver tool. You can also use the QuickLift feature to immediately lift all your visible annotations from the tracks display using the menu (View > In Other Genomes) and selecting the QuickLift tracks box. +While the Table Browser allows you to extract data from one source, the Data Integrator allows you to select track items that overlap by position, and output all (or selected) fields from up to 5 tracks at a time.
