This tutorial shows how to use the UCSC genome browser to find a list of genes in a given genomic region.

Difficulty level: Beginner
Duration: 4:32

This tutorial shows how to find all the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) upstream from genes using the UCSC Genome Browser.

Difficulty level: Beginner
Duration: 8:13

This tutorial demonstrates how to find all the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in a gene using the UCSC Genome Browser.

Difficulty level: Beginner
Duration: 6:12

The Saved Sessions feature of the Browser has been around for quite some time, but many of our users have not made full use of it. This feature offers a great way to keep track of your thinking on a particular topic.

Difficulty level: Beginner
Duration: 7:16

The Track Collection Builder is a new tool in the UCSC Genome Browser that provides a way to create grouped collections of sub-tracks with native tracks, custom tracks, or hub tracks of continuous value graphing data types.

Difficulty level: Beginner
Duration: 2:18

This tutorial demonstrates the visibility controls on the Genome Browser, showing the effect on BED tracks, wiggle tracks, and Conservation tracks. It also discusses supertracks and composite tracks.

Difficulty level: Beginner
Duration: 14:30

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
Duration: 8:01

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.

Difficulty level: Beginner
Duration: 9:04

This tutorial demonstrates the Multi-Region Exon-Only Display mode of the UCSC Genome Browser.

Difficulty level: Beginner
