We are pleased to announce that a public MySQL server of UCSC Genome
Browser data is now available in Europe! This should speed up
programmatic access to the underlying MySQL databases for users in
Europe. Connect to this new MySQL server using the command:
mysql --user=genome --host=
genome-euro-mysql.soe.ucsc.edu -A
More information about connecting to our public MySQL servers can be
found on our
MySQL
access page.
Additionally, we have configured both the
Genome
Browser in a Box (GBiB) and
Genome
Browser in the Cloud (GBiC) to take advantage of this new
server. If you are in Europe and have auto-updates enabled for your
GBiB, it should automatically switch to using this new server the
next time it updates. The GBiC will only auto-configure this
connection when first created, otherwise, you will need to manually
configure which MySQL server you want your mirror to use.
