  Genome Browser inquiries

This website is a "mirror" not run by UCSC.
Please try to contact the person that manages this mirror with questions.

If you mail the UCSC mailing list, please include this mirror's address http:// with any questions.

Before posting a question, we strongly encourage you to search our mailing list archives, our website, and our wiki for the answer. To expedite technical support, questions and problem reports must adhere to our technical support guidelines. PLoS Computational Biology has published a good set of guidelines for seeking online scientific help. In particular, when sending us a specific browser screenshot, we recommend that you use our Session tool to create a link that fully captures the browser settings. Be sure to removed the "hgsid" parameter and setting from any URL sent to us, as this can cause your personal settings to change unexpectedly.

Unless otherwise noted, questions and comments submitted to the Genome Browser forums are publicly accessible and searchable. Please do not post confidential information to our public forums.
