Data Update v1.2.0 (5th Dec 2001) |
 |
 |
 |
Mouse Traces
New mouse-trace alignment database.
Sanger curated genes
These are now available for chromosome 20, with more coverage planned.
Ensembl Lite
Lite database has been updated to match the other new databases.
Improved Marker data
Incorporates the UCSC marker set.
Updated Cloneset for CytoView
Chromosome 22 clones have been updated.
DAS subsystem
This has been re-worked to improve efficiency and speed.
To update a local installation
Download the following from the ftp site:
homo_sapiens_mouse_120
homo_sapiens_embl_121
homo_sapiens_lite_120
homo_sapiens_maps_120
homo_sapiens_sanger_121
ensembl_1.2.0/landmark_marker.txt.table.gz
For a local web installation, just do a cvs update - this release is still on
branch-ensembl-120.

New Features in v1.2.0 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
SNP list
ExportView has been extended to provide fast,
configurable exporting of SNP data.
[More...]
Export as Excel
Both SNP List and Gene List tabs on ExportView can export data as a ready made Excel file.
Cytoview
A new specialised display for cytogeneticists working for breakpoint mutations using the "one
megabase cloneset". [More...]
Eponine track
Contigview can display Eponine transcription start-site predictions via DAS.
NCBI Acembly track
Contigview can display a DAS track of the Acembly genes
with alternative splicing, made by co-alignment of the
cDNAs and ESTs on the Golden Path genome. These models
are constructed at NCBI by the Thierry-Miegs but differ
from the official NCBI XM genes shown in the NCBI map
viewer.

Changes / Improvements in v1.2.0 |
 |
 |
 |
New configuration
The website configuration files have changed in this
release to a simpler "ini" format. If you run a local
Ensembl mirror, be sure to read the new
installation documentation.
New API
This release of the website runs against the 1.2.0 ensembl API codebase.
New schema
The Ensembl database schema has been updated,
particularly in regard to gene/transcript/exon
identifiers. [

New Data
The 1.2.0 databases are built upon the August freeze dataset, and the UCSC "golden path" assembly.
Navigation
Location boxes should now accept basepair locations given in "k" or "m" units - e.g "200 kb" to "1.1 mb"
