27 April 2009 - New Human Browser Released
We are pleased to announce the release of the February 2009
human genome browser, UCSC version hg19.
Starting with this assembly, the human genome sequence is
now provided by the
Genome Reference Consortium, whose goal is
to correct the small number of regions in the reference that
are currently misrepresented, to close as many remaining
gaps as possible and to produce alternative assemblies of
structurally variant loci when
necessary. The hg19 browser corresponds to GRCh37.
Statistics for the GRCh37 build assembly can be found on
the NCBI
Build 37.1 Statistics web page.
The hg19 browser contains 9 haplotypes. See the
Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute MHC
Haplotype Project web site for additional
information on the chr6 alternate haplotype assemblies.
The UCSC staff responsible for producing the initial hg19
browser include Hiram Clawson,
Brooke Rhead, Pauline Fujita, Ann Zweig, Katrina Learned,
and Robert Kuhn. See the
Credits page for a detailed list of the organizations and
individuals who contributed to this release.
