  Custom Annotation Tracks
 

This page contains links to custom annotation tracks contributed by the UCSC Genome Bioinformatics group and by the research community. Click on a track to display it in the UCSC Genome Browser. To access custom annotation tracks built on archived assemblies, see the Genome Browser archives. Please check the Genome Browser standard track set for additional contributed annotation tracks.

For information on how to create a custom annotation track, see Displaying Your Own Annotations in the Genome Browser. If you would like to submit your own custom tracks to this list, contact genome@soe.ucsc.edu.


Human Genome

Alternative conserved exons predicted by ACEScan (hg17). This track displays human exons (from Known Genes with an exonic alignment to mouse) that have a positive ACEScan score. For a description of the methods used to generate this annotation, see Yeo, G.W. et al.. Identification and analysis of alternative splicing events conserved in human and mouse. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 102(8), 2850-2855 (2005). The ACEScan online webtool is available at http://genes.mit.edu/acescan. Thanks to Gene Yeo and Chris Burge at MIT for contributing this annotation.

Mouse Genome

Locations of known, suspected, and imputed SNPs generated by BLAT alignment of 3 million Celera associated sequences to the May 2004 mouse genome assembly (mm5), provided by The GeneNetwork and WebQTL. Only those SNPs that distinguish strains C57BL/6J from DBA/2J (1.75 million) or that distinguish C57BL/6J from A/J (1.80 million) are displayed in the custom track. Due to the proprietary nature of these data, only low resolution position data (SNP density per 100,000 to 300,000 bp) are currently provided. This custom track is available on any PHYSICAL and GENETIC maps in WebQTL for the BXD and AXB/BXA genetic reference panels simply by clicking on interval maps. Click on the chromosome you wish to display: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, X. Thanks to Celera Genomics (Richard Mural and Paul Thomas) for this level of access to CDS data and to Christopher Vincent (Georgia Tech), Alex G. Williams (UCSC); Robert Crowell (UTHSC and MIT), Gary Churchill and Natalie Blades (The Jackson Laboratory), and the WebQTL group at UTHSC (Jintao Wang, Yanhua Qu, Yan Cui, Robert Williams, and Kenneth Manly) for contributing this track.
