Description

The GENCODE consortium provides the default gene annotation for human and mouse in the Ensembl and UCSC browsers. The GENCODE annotation is continuously updated by the HAVANA annotators at EMBL-EBI and made public in up to four releases each year. The integration of the GENCODE annotation in the Ensembl release cycle means that annotation updates can take up to four months to be made public as part of a GENCODE release.

This track hub tries to fill this gap by allowing users to see updates to the GENCODE annotation almost in real time. It will display:

• a) any novel transcripts and
• b) any pre-existing transcripts that have had their exon and/or CDS coordinates updated or their biotype changed from coding to non-coding or vice versa.

Annotation updates are available for:

• Human: GRCh38/hg38
• Mouse: GRCm39/mm39

Transcripts coloured in red represent annotation updated since the last GENCODE release, except for those that have been updated within the last 24 hours, which are coloured in green.

Please note that the ids and version numbers shown in these tracks might not correspond to the final identifiers in the GENCODE release. Also, note that the annotation shown in these tracks may be modified again before being included in the next GENCODE release.

Data access

The BED and bigBed files for the updated annotation can be downloaded from this directory.
