GRC: ZFIN joins the GRC http://bit.ly/202w8jy 

ZFIN is joining the GRC to assume curation of the zebrafish reference assembly http://tinyurl.com/jk4dxkn .

GRC: Chicken assembly curation at GRC http://tinyurl.com/h5rj6jx 

New publication on gEVAL, a web-based browser used by the GRC to evaluate assemblies: http://tinyurl.com/z8o8rnh 

GRC: Updates to DUX4 region on subtelomeric chromosome 4q http://bit.ly/1VzNrbC 

GRC: GRC reference assembly curation with BioNano maps http://bit.ly/1TsL5fd 

Learn how the GRC is using BioNano and optical map data in gEVAL for assembly curation: http://genomeref.blogspot.com/ 

The GRC wants to know more about your use of the references we curate. Take the quick survey at http://genomereference.org .

New reference quality assemblies and onoing curation efforts. Learn about it in the MGI workshop in Salon E at 2pm. #AGBT16

We want your feedback! Check out the GRC website survey: http://genomereference.org .

Learn about GRCh38! "Making Sense of the Human Reference Genome Assembly" 1:00 pm, Ballroom E, Level 4 #amp2015

Alt loci may contain coding copies of polymorphic pseudogenes that are non-coding on the chromosomes. #ashg15

RefSeqs may differ from GRCh38: due RNA editing, functional differences or possible assembly errors. #ashg15

RefSeq and HAVANA early adopters of GRCh38. #ashg15

RefSeq collaboration with GRC to identify and improve gene represenation. #ashg15

Jon Mudge: GENCODE a GRCh38 gene build #ASHG15

Attend the GRC/GIAB wkshp on reference assemblies & materials @ #ASHG2015 (10/6: 1-4 pm, Con Ctr Rm 349). No ticket reqd! @GenomeInABottle

Another good reason to represent population diversity as alt loci sequence in the Human Reference Genome #grch38https://twitter.com/BioInfo/status/587720708341501952 …

Hey @illumina, when will we get @GenomeRef GRCh38 in iGenomes? http://support.illumina.com/sequencing/sequencing_software/igenome.html … cc @MKarimzade @dnadiver @deannachurch
