Ensembl Human What's New v20.34c.1 (1 Apr 2004)

	Ensembl: Latest Developments
	New data in v20.34c.1    Build 34c Update Ensembl release 20 incorporates a major redesign of the Ensembl core schema and API. There are no new genome assemblies or gene builds in this release. The new/updated Human data in release 20 are:   Vega database Vega has been updated with new release data - new chromosomes: 9 & 10 - updated chromosomes 13 & 20   SNP database Updated to dbSNP 119   Lite database Now only contains SNP data.    GO database - GO database (ensembl_go_20_1) - Updated to the Feb 2004 release from geneontology.org   Compara database - New protein clustering and families - New BLAT alignments from UCSC - Addition of N, S and LnL data and schema - Storage of dS cut-off value in the db - Updated blastz alignments to take in account GroupId and LevelId - Corrected synteny data As a result of these changes, the Human database version has been bumped to 34c, e.g. homo_sapiens_core_20_34c The 34c version increment indicates a data update without a change in assembly. Schema changes in v20    Core database Details of the new core schema and API can be found in the wiki.    Lite As a result of the core schema and API changes, the lite database now only contains SNP information. If a species has no SNP database (e.g. C.briggsae) that species will also have no lite database.    SNP database - GTInd table added to hold individual genotype data - Strain table has new columns ssid and ind_id    Compara database - genomic_align_block table has new columns group_id, level_id and flip_alignment - homology table added New features in v20 Nearly all of the work on the webcode for this release has been modifying it to work with the new v20 API. Other changes include:    ContigView BLAT tracks added for the new Compara data    SNPView Where available, the following data have been added to the display: - Allele frequencies, per SubSNP/population/assay - Strain genotypes
