Hello Everyone,

We are happy to announce the release of the new COSMIC track for hg19/GRCh37 and an update for the hg38/GRCh38. The Catalogue Of Somatic Mutations In Cancer (COSMIC) is an online database of expert manually curated somatic mutation information relating to human cancers. The COSMIC track displays data from the COSMIC v101 release, which includes Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) data from 383 samples, including 305 individuals exposed to ionizing radiation as children during the 1986 Chernobyl accident and 78 individuals born after 1986. WGS detected a total of 318,907 somatic mutations, including 315,022 non-coding variants and 3,885 coding variants.

We would like to thank COSMIC for providing the data to UCSC. We would also like to thank Lou Nassar, Max Haeussler, and Gerardo Perez for their efforts on this release.
