How to cite the UCSC Genome Browser

The UCSC Genome Browser is exclusively funded by the NIH, please consider citing us properly so that we may report usage and continue to develop this resource.

What manuscript to cite?

Please cite our latest paper, currently PMID 39460617, -DOI 10.1093/nar/gkae974. In addition, you can reference the Genome Browser website +href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41251146/">PMID 41251146, +DOI 10.1093/nar/gkaf1250. In addition, you can reference the Genome Browser website in your manuscript: http://genome.ucsc.edu or mention in the text that you used the "UCSC Genome Browser". To cite one of our computational tools, see the reference section below.

General best practices for publications

The following are recommendations to improve communication in your scientific manuscript and ensure readers in 10 years can still find the DNA sequence that you analyzed. This requires mention of the assembly, chromosome position, any transcripts, and ideally also a Genome Browser stable link:

  1. Assembly: Provide a clear mention of which genome assembly you are working with, e.g. "hg19" or "hg38". It is often helpful to place the assembly name directly on any supplemental file names if they contain annotations. E.g. "promoters.hg38.bed".
