In our workshops around the world on the UCSC Genome Browser, we talk at the very beginning about the framework for the organization of the data in the graphical representation. We describe that the reference genome–the official released genome–for a species provides the genome coordinates, or positions, that allows the rest of the data to [...]
From the UCSC Genome Browser announcement mailing list: The UCSC Cancer Genomics group has recently remodeled the interface of their Cancer Genomics Browser (https://genome-cancer.ucsc.edu/) to make it easier to navigate and more intuitive to display, investigate, and analyze cancer genomics data and associated clinical information. This tool provides access to many types of information —- [...]
BioStar is a site for asking, answering and discussing bioinformatics questions and issues. We are members of the community and find it very useful. Often questions and answers arise at BioStar that are germane to our readers (end users of genomics resources). Every Thursday we will be highlighting one of those items or discussions here [...]

While I was on the road last week–ironically to do workshops including one on ENCODE data in the UCSC Genome Browser, a conflama erupted over a new paper that was published essentially spanking the ENCODE team for some of the claims they made. Some of the first notes I saw: Wow – brutal (IMO excessive) [...]
This week’s tip of the week is a reminder: go and watch the ENCODE tutorial that is sponsored by the UCSC Genome Browser’s ENCODE team. There now just one week of free access left. For a number of years a team at the UCSC Genome Browser group was designated as the DCC, or Data Coordination [...]
We often like to highlight new resources in our tips of the week to show people about some new way to find, explore or analyze genomic data. But sometimes we also want to point out a new aspect of a resource we’ve seen before, or highlight some feature that people tell us they were wondering [...]
Welcome to our Friday feature link collection: SNPpets. During the week we come across a lot of links and reads that we think are interesting, but don’t make it to a blog post. Here they are for your enjoyment… RT @bio_insilico: Nurses at forefront of genomics in health care – Science Codex: Nurses at forefront [...]
When we do workshops, I sing the praises of the ENCODE data that’s genome-wide, and how it is offering amazing new opportunities to explore and discover new features of you genomic regions of interest. But I know that’s all I can do to introduce folks to the data in a short session–and they need to [...]
