reposted here, as UCSC doesn’t allow posts soliciting testers for assembly hubs:
Hia,
I am working since a bit on creating a nematode assembly hub covering the WormBase core species.
While I was passing it around internally, I would like to solicit some feedback from the wider community.
Currently I got two variants on our development server:
a.) an version for UCSC which includes human readable genome names and HAL snake tracks of a 29-way progressive cactus run
http://ftp.ebi.ac.uk/pub/databases/wormbase/releases/current-development-release/COMPARATIVE_ANALYSIS/hub/hub.txt
and b.) a version for EnsEMBL
It has the assembly names mapped to the one used by EnsEMBL(-genomes).
it can be found here: http://ftp.ebi.ac.uk/pub/databases/wormbase/releases/current-development-release/COMPARATIVE_ANALYSIS/hub/parasite_hub.txt
I also have not yet added a BLAT server, but I guess there are enough sites where you can blat/blast/whatever against the genomes
Another thing is, that it is also currently still in development. so it is changing quite often and not 100% in synch with the current release (WS248).
any feedback is more than welcome,
Michael
