Abstract
The UCSC Genome Browser has been an important tool for genomics and
clinical genetics since the sequence of the human genome was first
released in 2000. As it has grown in scope to display more types of data
it has also grown more complicated. The data, which are dispersed at
many locations worldwide, are collected into one view on the Browser,
where the graphical interface presents the data in one location. This
supports the expertise of the researcher to interpret variants in the
genome. Because the analysis of Single Nucleotide Variants (SNVs) and
Copy Number Variants (CNVs) require interpretation of data at very
different genomic scales, different data resources are required. We
present here several Recommended Track Sets designed to facilitate the
interpretation of variants in the clinic, offering quick access to
datasets relevant to the appropriate scale.
