Hi Theodore,
Thank you for your question about COSMIC data in the UCSC Genome
Browser.
We recently released an updated version of the COSMIC track based on
the v82 release of the COSMIC database. We used COSMIC's detailed
annotation file to create this track, which means that we are not
allowed to redistribute their data. Previous versions of COSMIC did
not carry this restriction (for reference, the previous version of
this track was based on COSMIC v68).
However, you can create an account on the COSMIC website and
download the same data we used to generate our track:
http://cancer.sanger.ac.uk/cosmic.
I hope this is helpful. If you have any further questions, please
reply to
gen...@soe.ucsc.edu. All messages sent to that address are
archived on a publicly-accessible Google Groups forum. If your
question includes sensitive data, you may send it instead to
genom...@soe.ucsc.edu.
