UCSC Genome Browser intro

...

The UCSC Genome Browser is an invaluable resource both for obtaining public sequencing data and for visualizing it.

Demo - Data resources

  • http://genome.ucsc.edu/ Genome Browser, submit
  • navigaion
    • type GAPDH in gene box, jump
    • note zoom out/zoom in buttons; click on position or click/drag
  • track detail
    • click "Multiz Alignments" to expand track detail
    • click on one of the SNP to expand track detail
      • then click on the snp name to see details
  • selecting tracks
    • under "Regulation" section, change Regulation track from "show" to "hide", refresh
    • right click "Multiz Alignments", hide
    • under "Phenotype and Disease Association" change GWAS Catalog from "hide" to "squish",  refresh
  • type PRNP in gene box, jump
    • click on "NHGRI Catalog..." track description to expand detail
    • note correspondence between SNPs (SNP 132) and disease SNPs (GWAS)
    • click on one of the disease SNPs for detail

Demo - Downloading annotation data

For RNAseq you often need a GTF file, but how do you find them? One way is to download annotations from the UCSC Table browser in GTF format:

  • http://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgTables
    • clade: Mammal, genome: Human, assembly: hg19
    • group: Genes and Gene Prediction tracks, track: RefSeq genes
    • output format: GTF - gene transfer format
    • optional: enter filename in typein box
    • get output

Exercise 1

Using the UCSC Genome Browser, find and download a list of high-sequencing-depth regions in BED format.

group: Mapping and Sequencing tracdks

track: Hi Seq Depth
