Kate R. Rosenbloom

Kate R. Rosenbloom is a member of the Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) Consortium. She is a Tech Project Manager and Software Developer at the Center for Biomolecular Science and Engineering, Jack Baskin School of Engineering, University of California Santa Cruz (UCSC), USA. She has been a member of the scientific advisory board to the human proteome project ^[1] and contributed data integration and visualisation within the GTEx consortium, an international project aiming to understand how genetic variation shapes variation between human tissues. ^[2]

The pilot stage of ENCODE, involving development of a web browser to show experimental results related to regions on the human genome sequence, was undertaken at UCSC. ^[3] The university team maintain and develop the UCSC Genome Browser to provide the public with access to genome data from an increasing number of animals, mainly vertebrates. Data provided by the user can also be included. It permits comparisons and some interpretation of the data. The browser was first released in 2001 and an annual update of developments is published each January. ^[4]
