Introduction

An IGB user contacted us with a request to add a new genome to the IGB QuickLoad system - the Xenopus tropicalis genome assembly dated November, 2009, also called JGI 4.2/xenTro3. (See: http://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgGateway?hgsid=262072157&clade=vertebrate&org=X.+tropicalis&db=0).

Because this genome is supported at the UCSC Genome Browser, adding it to the system should be fairly straightforward. All we need to do is download the data, format it, and move it onto the main IGB QuickLoad site currently hosted at UNC Charlotte, in the Bioinformatics and Genomics Department's server room.

Note

As of IGB 10.1.0 most UCSC genome versions and tracks should now be available by default in IGB via the UCSC REST data provider.

Methods
