Mar. 16, 2026    New DNA Methylation track: Human Methylation Atlas Summary and Signals tracks

+

+We are excited to announce the release of the +Human Methylation Atlas Summary and +Signals tracks for hg38 and hg19, available in the +DNA Methylation superTrack. The Human Methylation Atlas tracks display genome-wide DNA +methylation profiles from deep whole-genome bisulfite sequencing (WGBS) of 39 primary human cell +types sorted from 205 healthy tissue samples. +

+
+ + Example of cell-type specific
+  unmethylated regions and methylation signals (hg38, chr2:3,233,601-3,284,760) for blood,
+  neuronal, pancreatic, and thyroid cell types +
+

+The Human Methylation Atlas Summary track consists of three subtracks: +

+ +

+The Human Methylation Atlas Signals track displays per-cell-type methylation beta +values (0-1 scale) across the genome, with merged tracks combining all replicates per cell +type and replicate tracks for each individual sample. +

+

+We would like to thank the Dor, Kaplan, and Glaser laboratories at the Hebrew University +of Jerusalem and collaborating institutions for generating and providing these data. +

Mar. 13, 2026    gnomAD v4 Exome and v3 Genome coverage tracks for hg38

We are pleased to announce the release of two new coverage tracks from the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD) on the human GRCh38/hg38 assembly. These tracks are part of the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD) track collection.

The gnomAD v4 Exome Coverage track displays per-base sequencing coverage statistics derived from the gnomAD v4.0 exome callset. Coverage was computed across all gnomAD v4 exome samples using gVCFs produced with a 3-bin blocking scheme based on reference genotype quality
