Updated 261 trackDb HTML and .ra files: - Fixed 404s: replaced dead URLs (sequenceontology.org wiki, compgen.cshl.edu PDFs, chori.org, PolyPhen v1, uswest.ensembl.org, RIKEN GSC) with current locations; removed links for defunct sites (snpdata.cshl.edu, zfrhmaps, renlab encode3 download, oia.gachon.ac.kr, phylohmm.pdf across 92 conservation track docs). - Fixed 301s: updated http→https (encodeproject.org, flybase.org, gene-regulation.com, drive5.com/muscle, microbesonline.org/fasttree, brain-map.org); updated moved domains (blackwell-synergy→wiley, genome.cshlp.org path fix, sanger.ac.uk path fix); removed hijacked domains (seqll.com, orfeomecollaboration.org, farnhamlab.com). - Fixed 302s: updated http→https (ensembl.org, affymetrix.com, asntech.org, cdna.eva.mpg.de, arcseqhub.com); updated moved domains (dfam.janelia.org→dfam.org, hmmer.janelia.org→hmmer.org, immuneepitope.org→iedb.org, ensembl variation path).

For the ten +<A HREF="https://www.affymetrix.com" TARGET=_blank>Affymetrix</A>. For the ten chromosomes 6, 7, 13, 14, 19, 20, 21, 22, X, and Y, more than 74 million probes were tiled every 5 bp in non-repeat-masked areas and hybridized to mRNA from the SK-N-AS cell line. These data are a preview of Phase Two of the transcriptome project, which will include data from seven additional cell lines when completed. While the coverage of the genome is much larger and the probe density greater, the general method is similar to the Phase One project carried out on chromosomes 21 and 22 (Kapranov, P. <em>et al</em>. <A HREF="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=pubmed&dopt=Abstract&list_uids=11988577" TARGET=_blank>Large-scale transcriptional activity in chromosomes 21 and 22.</A> <em>Science</em> <B>296</B>(5569), 916-9 (2002)).</P> <P> The track is colored blue in areas that are thought to be transcribed at a statistically significant level as described in the accompanying <a href="../cgi-bin/hgTrackUi?g=affyTransfrags">Transfrags</a> (transcribed fragments) track. Transfrags that have a significant blat hit elsewhere in the genome are displayed in a lighter shade of blue, and transfrags that overlap putative pseudogenes are colored an even lighter shade of blue. All other regions of the track are colored brown. While the raw data are based on prefect match minus mismatch probe (PM - MM) values and may contain negative values, the track has a minimum value of 0 for visualization purposes.</P> <H2>Methods</H2> <P> For each data point, probes within 30 bp on either side were used to improve the estimate of expression level for a particular probe. This helps to smooth the data and produce a more robust estimate of the transcription level at a particular genomic location. The following analysis method was used: <UL> <LI>Replicate arrays were quantile-normalized and the median intensity (using both PM and MM intensities) of each array was scaled to a target value of 44. <LI>The expression level was estimated for each mapped probe position by <UL> <LI>collecting all the probe pairs that fell within a window of ± 30 bp. <LI>calculating all non-redundant pairwise averages of PM - MM values of all probe pairs in the window. <LI>taking the median of all resulting pairwise averages. </UL> <LI>The resulting signal value is the Hodges-Lehmann estimator associated with the Wilcoxon signed-rank statistic of the PM - MM values that lie within ± 30 bp of the sliding window centered at every genomic coordinate. </UL></P> <H2>Credits</H2> <P> Data generation and analysis: Transcriptome group at Affymetrix - Bekiranov, S., Brubaker, S., Cheng, J., Dike, S., Drenkow, J., Ghosh, S., Gingeras, T., Helt, G., Kampa, D., Kapranov, P., Long, J., Madhavan, G., Manak, J., Patel, S., Piccolboni, A., Sementchenko, V., Tammana, H.</P> <P> Data presentation in Genome Browser: Chuck Sugnet.</P>
