About the UCSC Genome Bioinformatics Site
|
|
|
Welcome to the UCSC Genome Browser website.
This site contains the
reference sequence and working draft
assemblies for a large collection of genomes. It also
provides a portal to the ENCODE project.
We encourage you to explore these sequences with our tools.
The
Genome
Browser zooms and scrolls over chromosomes,
showing the work of annotators worldwide. The
Gene
Sorter
shows expression, homology and other information on groups
of genes that can be related in many ways.
Blat
quickly maps your sequence to the genome. The
Table
Browser provides convenient access to the underlying
database.
VisiGene
lets you browse through a large
collection of in situ mouse and frog images to
examine expression patterns.
Genome
Graphs allows you to
upload and display genome-wide data sets.
The UCSC Genome Browser is developed and maintained by the
Genome Bioinformatics Group,
a cross-departmental team within the Center for Biomolecular
Science and Engineering (CBSE)
at the University of California Santa Cruz
(UCSC).
If you have feedback or questions concerning the tools or
data on this website, feel free to contact us on our
public mailing list.

10 August 2009 - Updated Yeast Genome Browser Released
We have added the June 2008 release of the yeast genome
(Saccharomyces cerevisiae) based on sequence from
the Saccharomyces Genome Database (SGD).
The sequence, open reading frame (ORF), and gene annotations
were downloaded from the site
ftp://genome-ftp.stanford.edu/pub/yeast/data_download.
The S288C strain was used in this sequencing project. Reference
information for each chromosome may be found in the SGD
Systematic Sequencing Table.
Bulk downloads of the sequence and annotation data are
available via the Genome Browser
FTP server
or the Downloads
page.
See the Credits
page for details on contributions to this release.
22 July 2009 - Updated Opossum Genome Browser Released
We have released an updated opossum (Monodelphis domestica)
genome browser, UCSC version monDom5, corresponding to the
Broad Institute's October 2006 assembly.

The sequence and annotation data displayed in the Genome Browser
are freely available for any use
with the following conditions:
- Genome sequence data use restrictions are noted within the
species sections on the Credits
page.
- Some annotation tracks contributed by external collaborators
contain proprietary data that have specific use restrictions. To
check for restrictions associated with a particular genome assembly,
review the database/README.txt file in the assembly's
downloads directory.
The Genome Browser and Blat software are free for academic,
nonprofit, and personal use. A license is required for commercial use.
See the Licenses page for more information.
Program-driven use of this software is limited to a maximum of one
hit every 15 seconds and no more than 5,000 hits per day.
For assistance with questions or problems regarding the UCSC Genome
Browser software, database, genome assemblies, or release cycles,
see the FAQ.
