Today’s tip of the week introduces a new feature at the UCSC Genome Browser which we will be adding to our UCSC Genome Browser and UCSC Table Browser tutorials (both free) soon: Track Hubs. Track Hubs are annotation tracks for very large datasets housed at non-UCSC servers that might not be conducive for the custom [...]
Just a quick note about a new type of custom track supported on the UCSC Genome Browser. We get a lot of questions about support for the next-gen sequencing types of data peeople are generating or expect to be generating soon. This came across the announcement mailing list yesterday. It also includes some helpful links [...]
The GenomeWeb blog had a “This week in Genome News” post that lead with: In Genome Biology this week, scientists at the University of Rochester studied the evolution of R1 and R2 retrotransposons across 12 Drosophila genomes. These specifically insert into the 28S rRNA genes. They found that most copies of R1 and R2 in [...]
SNPs are hot. Everywhere we go for training people want to see SNPs. SNPs from many sources. And we know a lot of places to find them. Although everything gets in to dbSNP, of course, sometimes it helps to look at subsets of SNPs that were the focus of special projects. For example, the genes [...]
