by Dave Clements
Hello all,
Just a *final* reminder that early registration for the 2012 Galaxy
Community Conference (GCC2012)<http://galaxyproject.org/wiki/Events/GCC2012>
*closes on Monday June 11 (*which is probably* today* when you read this*)*.
Registering early saves 36 to 42% on registration costs, and allows you to
sign up for the GCC2012 Training
Day<http://galaxyproject.org/wiki/Events/GCC2012/TrainingDay>and book
discounted
conference lodging<http://wiki.g2.bx.psu.edu/Events/GCC2012/Logistics#Lodging>
*before they fill up*.
*Register today <http://wiki.g2.bx.psu.edu/Events/GCC2012/Register>.
*
GCC2012 <http://galaxyproject.org/wiki/Events/GCC2012> will be held July
25-27, in Chicago, Illinois, United States. This year GCC2012 features a full
day of tutorial
sessions<http://galaxyproject.org/wiki/Events/GCC2012/TrainingDay>with
3 parallel tracks, each featuring four, 90 minute workshops and
covering 10 different topic, including the newly added Variant and SNP
Analsys, RNA-Seq Analysis, and Galaxy Code Architecture
sessions<http://wiki.g2.bx.psu.edu/Events/GCC2012/TrainingDay>.
The two-day main
meeting<http://wiki.g2.bx.psu.edu/Events/GCC2012/Program#Day_1:_July_26.2C_Thursday>includes
over 25 talks by Galaxy community members and Galaxy developers
addressing the challenges of integrating, analyzing, and sharing the
diverse and very large datasets that are now typical in biomedical
research.
GCC2012 is an opportunity to share best practices with, and learn from, a
large community of researchers and support staff who are facing the
challenges of data-intensive biology. Galaxy
<http://gmod.org/wiki/Galaxy>is an open
web-based platform for data intensive biomedical
research<http://galaxyproject.org>that is widely used and deployed at
research organizations of all sizes
around the world.
See you in Chicago!

Galaxy Main new native genomes & updated genomes
by Jennifer Jackson
Dear Galaxy Community,
Recent genome additions and updates on the *Galaxy Main public instance*
at http://usegalaxy.org include:
*
New native genome additions:*
* *"mm10"*: Mouse (/Mus musculus/) Dec 2011, GRCm38, source UCSC
* *"gorGor3"*: Gorilla (/Gorilla gorilla gorilla/) May 2011, WGS
CABD02, source UCSC
* *"bosTau6"*: Cow (/Bos taurus/) Nov 2009, UMD_3.1, source UCSC
*
Existing genomes with content updates:*
* *"bosTau4, bosTauMd3, canFam2, mm9, panTro3, rn4"*
*
Details:*
* /Native genomes/ are sometimes referred to as "/locally cached/" on
tool forms.
* New and updated indexes include: /NGS:+/ (all tools), /Lift-Over/
(Convert genome coordinates), and /Fetch Sequences/ (Extract DNA).
* Currently, these additions and updates exclude the tools in the
group /NGS: GATK Tools (beta)/, however new genomes will be added
soon. For now, use the custom reference genome
<http://wiki.g2.bx.psu.edu/Support#Custom_reference_genome> option
with this tool group, if not using*"Homo sapiens b37 (hg_g1k_v37)"*.
* Additional new genomes and updates are in progress and will be
announced via Twitter @galaxyproject
<http://wiki.g2.bx.psu.edu/Galaxy%20on%20Twitter> and the
galaxy-announce(a)bx.psu.edu
<http://wiki.g2.bx.psu.edu/Mailing%20Lists#The_lists> mailing list.
* Genome requests can be sent to the mailto:galaxy-user@bx.psu.edu
<mailto:galaxy-user@bx.psu.edu>mailing list. Please include the full
genome name, a link to the stable public source, and any build or
species specific information you feel is relevant. This helps us to
create a reference genome the entire Galaxy community can use.
* Unfinished genomes or genomes not yet published to a stable source
repository are still often best used as a custom reference genome
<http://wiki.g2.bx.psu.edu/Support#Custom_reference_genome> with
tools, but please feel free to check in for feedback.
/Thanks for using Galaxy!/
