The UCSC Genome Browser database: 2024 update.

The UCSC Genome Browser (https://genome.ucsc.edu) is a web-based genomic visualization and analysis tool that serves data to over 7,000 distinct users per day worldwide.

GenArk: towards a million UCSC genome browsers.

Interactive graphical genome browsers are essential tools in genomics, but they do not contain all the recent genome assemblies. We create Genome Archive (GenArk) collection of UCSC Genome Browsers from NCBI assemblies. Built on our established track hub system, this enables fast visualization of annotations.

Subclinical hypothyroidism: Let the evidence be your guide.

Patient age, time of day, and supplement use influence screening results; repeat testing is advised. Avoid treating to improve mood, cognition, fatigue, or quality of life.

GenArk: Towards a million UCSC Genome Browsers.

Interactive graphical genome browsers are essential tools for biologists working with DNA sequences. Although tens of thousands of new genome assemblies have become available over the last decade, accessibility is limited by the work involved in manually creating browsers and curating annotations. The results can push the limits of data storage infrastructure.

The UCSC Genome Browser database: 2023 update.

The UCSC Genome Browser (https://genome.ucsc.edu) is an omics data consolidator, graphical viewer, and general bioinformatics resource that continues to serve the community as it enters its 23rd year.

Skip that repeat DXA scan in these postmenopausal women.

Repeat bone density measurement offers no advantage in predicting fracture risk in postmenopausal women who do not have osteoporosis.

Variant interpretation: UCSC Genome Browser Recommended Track Sets.

The UCSC Genome Browser has been an important tool for genomics and clinical genetics since the sequence of the human genome was first released in 2000. As it has grown in scope to display more types of data it has also grown more complicated. The data, which are dispersed at many locations worldwide, are collected into one view on the Browser, where the graphical interface presents the data in one location.

The UCSC Genome Browser database: 2022 update.

The UCSC Genome Browser, https://genome.ucsc.edu, is a graphical viewer for exploring genome annotations.

A Realistic and Inexpensive Ultrasound Phantom for Teaching M-Mode Measurement of Fetal Heart Rate.

Background: M-mode ultrasound is frequently used to measure a fetal heart rate. Phantoms are used to simulate clinical conditions for teaching ultrasound-related skills. This is particularly important in the case of early pregnancy, when it is not ethical to use a live fetus in utero for teaching purposes.

The UCSC Genome Browser database: 2021 update.

For more than two decades, the UCSC Genome Browser database (https://genome.ucsc.edu) has provided high-quality genomics data visualization and genome annotations to the research community.

UCSC Genome Browser enters 20th year.

The University of California Santa Cruz Genome Browser website (https://genome.ucsc.edu) enters its 20th year of providing high-quality genomics data visualization and genome annotations to the research community.

Larger sperm size may contribute to reproductive isolation between species.

is a genus of North American darter fish whose species have similar habitats and breeding seasons, yet hybridization is rare. Behavioral barriers have been demonstrated to play a key role in maintaining species boundaries. Further, conspecific (same species) sperm precedence has also been observed when the gametes of two different species come into contact.

Differentiation of functional gastrointestinal disorders from healthy volunteers by lactulose hydrogen breath test and test meal.

Background And Aim: Functional dyspepsia (FD) is a common disorder of gut-brain interaction with incompletely understood pathophysiology. Consequently, heterogeneous expert opinions on diagnostic tests and assessment of treatment efficacies exist. So far, no consensus about the most relevant diagnostic and outcome tool has been reached.

The UCSC Genome Browser database: 2019 update.

The UCSC Genome Browser (https://genome.ucsc.edu) is a graphical viewer for exploring genome annotations.

Higher prevalence of joint hypermobility in constipation predominant irritable bowel syndrome.

Background: Joint hypermobility syndrome (JHS) is characterized by excessive connective tissue laxity manifest as joint hypermobility (JH) together with musculoskeletal symptoms. Previous studies have shown an association between JH/JHS and gastrointestinal symptoms, including irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), although its association with specific IBS subtypes is incompletely understood. We aimed to determine the prevalence of JH according to the subtypes of IBS, in particular IBS-C and IBS-D.

The UCSC Genome Browser database: 2018 update.

The UCSC Genome Browser (https://genome.ucsc.edu) provides a web interface for exploring annotated genome assemblies.

The UCSC Genome Browser database: 2017 update.

Since its 2001 debut, the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) Genome Browser (http://genome.ucsc.edu/) team has provided continuous support to the international genomics and biomedical communities through a web-based, open source platform designed for the fast, scalable display of sequence alignments and annotations landscaped against a vast collection of quality reference genome assemblies.

UCSC Data Integrator and Variant Annotation Integrator.

Unlabelled: Two new tools on the UCSC Genome Browser web site provide improved ways of combining information from multiple datasets, optionally including the user's own custom track data and/or data from track hubs. The Data Integrator combines columns from multiple data tracks, showing all items from the first track along with overlapping items from the other tracks. The Variant Annotation Integrator is tailored to adding functional annotations to variant calls; it offers a more restricted set of underlying data tracks but adds predictions of each variant's consequences for any overlapping or nearby gene transcript.

The UCSC Genome Browser database: 2016 update.

For the past 15 years, the UCSC Genome Browser (http://genome.ucsc.edu/) has served the international research community by offering an integrated platform for viewing and analyzing information from a large database of genome assemblies and their associated annotations.

Improved communication with the laboratory for the fabrication of labial veneers.

Advances in dental materials and adhesive technologies have changed the way we practice dentistry. Consequently, restorative dentistry has seen the adoption and almost exponential increase in usage of materials like zirconia and lithium disilicate. Unlike the incidence of ceramic failure in the past, these newer materials are paving the road to better looking dentistry.

The UCSC Ebola Genome Portal.

Background: With the Ebola epidemic raging out of control in West Africa, there has been a flurry of research into the Ebola virus, resulting in the generation of much genomic data.

Methods: In response to the clear need for tools that integrate multiple strands of research around molecular sequences, we have created the University of California Santa Cruz (UCSC) Ebola Genome Browser, an adaptation of our popular UCSC Genome Browser web tool, which can be used to view the Ebola virus genome sequence from GenBank and nearly 30 annotation tracks generated by mapping external data to the reference sequence. Significant annotations include a multiple alignment comprising 102 Ebola genomes from the current outbreak, 56 from previous outbreaks, and 2 Marburg genomes as an outgroup; a gene track curated by NCBI; protein annotations curated by UniProt and antibody-binding epitopes curated by IEDB.

The UCSC Genome Browser database: 2015 update.

Launched in 2001 to showcase the draft human genome assembly, the UCSC Genome Browser database (http://genome.ucsc.edu) and associated tools continue to grow, providing a comprehensive resource of genome assemblies and annotations to scientists and students worldwide.
