By making and using <a href="https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC208784/" target="_blank">whole-genome alignments</a>, the UCSC Genome Browser always allowed users to "lift" genome annotations to another assembly (<a href="/cgi-bin/hgLiftOver" target="_blank">liftOver</a>), in bulk, one track at a time. <font color="#008000">QuickLift</font> is a tool that uses the same algorithm, but it maps (liftOver) annotations on demand, in real-time, for all visible tracks. Only the annotations in the currently visible region are lifted, so this is usually fast enough when browsing a genome. For example, <font color="#008000">QuickLift</font> can be used to map annotations from hg38 or hg19 to any of the hundreds of new human high-quality genomes in GenArk @@ -132,15 +141,17 @@ utility</li> <li>pgSnp</li> </ul> <a name="resources"></a> <h3>Resources & Support</h3> <ul> <li><a href="/cgi-bin/hgLiftOver" target="_blank">LiftOver</a> — convert coordinates or annotation files in bulk between assemblies</li> <li><a href="/goldenPath/help/chain.html" target="_blank">Chain format</a> — description of the alignment chain files used by <font color="#008000">QuickLift</font> and liftOver</li> <li><a href="/contacts.html" target="_blank">Contact us</a> — request a new liftOver chain or report issues via the genome mailing list</li> </ul> + +<!--#include virtual="$ROOT/inc/gbPageEnd.html" -->
