Deployed on AWS
The UCSC Genome Browser is an online graphical viewer for genomes, a genome browser, hosted by the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC). The interactive website offers access to genome sequence data from a variety of vertebrate and invertebrate species and major model organisms, integrated with a large collection of aligned annotations. This dataset is a copy of the MySQL tables in MyISAM binary and tab-sep format and all binary files in custom formats, sometimes referred as 'gbdb'-files. Data from the UCSC Genome Browser is free and open for use by anyone. However, every genome annotation track has been created by an academic research group, or, in a few cases, by commercial companies. Please acknowledge them by citing them. The information can be found by going to https://genome.ucsc.edu, selecting the respective genome assembly and clicking on the data track. At the end of the documentation, we provide a list of references and acknowledgements.

The Human Cell Atlas (HCA) is a collaborative community of international scientists. Our mission is to create comprehensive reference maps of all the cells in the human body as a basis for both understanding human health and diagnosing, monitoring, and treating disease. The HCA registry has more than one thousand member scientists from hundreds of institutions around the world. The project is steered and governed by an Organizing Committee, co-chaired by Aviv Regev and Sarah Teichmann.
The NHGRI Analysis, Visualization, and Informatics Lab-space (AnVIL) Project (https://anvilproject.org/) is the National Human Genome Research Institute's cloud-based platform for genomic data sharing and analysis. AnVIL hosts widely used human genome reference datasets generated through NHGRI-funded research. AnVIL on Open Data on AWS provides public access to open-access datasets available through AnVIL. The project is a collaborative effort involving NHGRI, the Broad Institute, Johns Hopkins University, the University of California Santa Cruz, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Brigham and Women's Hospital, the Carnegie Institution for Science, the City University of New York, the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, Harvard University, Oregon Health & Science University, Massachusetts General Hospital, Moffitt Cancer Center, Penn State University, and Washington University.
SnpEff is a variant annotation and effect prediction tool that annotates and predicts the effects of genetic variants on genes and proteins (such as amino acid changes). It supports over 38,000 genomes and provides comprehensive genomic databases for variant annotation. The databases include reference genomes, gene annotations, protein sequences, and regulatory elements from trusted sources like ENSEMBL, RefSeq, and UCSC. SnpSift complements SnpEff by providing tools to annotate genomic variants using databases, filter large genomic datasets, and manipulate annotated variants. Together, these tools provide a complete solution for genomic variant analysis, supporting research in human genetics, cancer genomics, pharmacogenomics, and model organism studies.
