mappability function for Human GRCh38?

[Huang, Miller]

Hi,

On your website, you provide a "Mappability" function to find unique regions within the human genome with assembly GRCh37/hg19.  But I don't see it for GRCh38/hg38.  Is that available?

Thanks,
Miller

Dear Miller,

Thank you for using the UCSC Genome Browser and your question about a future Mappability track for hg38.

The referenced hg19 track, http://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgTrackUi?db=hg19&g=wgEncodeMapability, was released in 2011 by a collaborative process involving the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) in Barcelona, Duke University, and the ENCODE Data Analysis Consortium (DAC).

At this time, the most recent ENCODE phase has not yet made decisions on a new ENCODE-wide strategy for developing GRCh38 Mappability data. However, please know that is not to say one will never be developed.

Also, please know that UCSC is no longer the portal for ENCODE, the ENCODE data at UCSC is current until 2012. Rather please navigate to https://www.encodeproject.org/ to find the current ENCODE portal. Questions about current and future data can be sent to encod...@lists.stanford.edu.

Thank you again for your inquiry and using the UCSC Genome Browser. If you have any further UCSC questions, please reply to gen...@soe.ucsc.edu. All messages sent to that address are archived on a publicly-accessible forum. If your question includes sensitive data, you may send it instead to genom...@soe.ucsc.edu.

All the best,

Brian Lee
