The UCSC Genome Browser is a widely used platform for displaying genomic sequence and annotations for more than 100 animals and selected other model organisms. Users may load their own data for viewing alongside a large number of publicly available datasets covering gene predictions, mRNA alignments and comparative genomic multi-species alignments.

The Browser now features new display modes that allow users to selectively view multiple regions not contiguously arranged in the genome, as well as an exon-only mode suitable for viewing whole-exome or RNA-seq results by excluding intergenic and intronic regions.

This presentation will demonstrate how to use the new multiple region display, how to load user data into the Browser and how to use the Table Browser to manipulate data presentation for RNA-seq and other data.
