New COSMIC Track for hg38

[Gerardo Perez]

Hello Everyone,

We are pleased to announce the release of the new COSMIC track for hg38. The Catalogue Of Somatic Mutations In Cancer (COSMIC) is an online database of expert manually curated somatic mutation information relating to human cancers. This new track displays data from the COSMIC v98 release, which consists of 410,000 new genomic variants, 585,000 new coding mutations, 290,000 non-coding mutations, 4,300 new samples, and 1,358 new whole genomes. More information on this track can be found on the track description page.

This track will receive yearly updates and is meant as a replacement for the previous COSMIC Regions track. The COSMIC Regions track will no longer be updated

We would like to thank COSMIC for providing the data to UCSC.
