This tutorial describes the isPCR tool and demonstrates how to use it for predicting the size and location of PCR products and visualizing the genomic location on the genome. The tool operates on DNA templates for all organisms, and on human and mouse DNA/RNA. It also demonstrates how to use the Browser to obtain DNA sequences from the genome.

Difficulty level: Beginner

This tutorial describes the dbSNP resources in the UCSC Genome Browser, including display conventions and the subdivision of the data into several useful subset tracks, especially the Common SNPs. There is also a discussion about changes to the genome assemblies from one version to another, and of two ways to navigate between different assemblies of the human genome in the Browser.

Difficulty level: Beginner
Duration: 17:41

This tutorial demonstrates the UCSC Genome Browser Data Integrator, a tool that allows combination and intersection of data from up to five primary tables. In the example, data are extracted showing SNPs, genes, and phenotypes from a genomic region.

Difficulty level: Beginner
Duration: 6:24

This tutorial shows how to obtain coordinates of genes, then input those coordinates into the UCSC Genome Browser for display. The regions do not have to be continuous in the genome.

This lesson contains both a lecture and a tutorial component. The lecture (0:00-20:03 of YouTube video) discusses both the need for intersectional approaches in healthcare as well as the impact of neglecting intersectionality in patient populations. The lecture is followed by a practical tutorial in both Python and R on how to assess intersectional bias in datasets. Links to relevant code and data are found below.
