This page is currently a draft in progress. For now, use Releasing an assembly instead.

Introduction

When a developer is ready for a new assembly to be released,
a member of the QA team will QA and release the assembly.
This wiki section exists as a guide for the assembly QA and release process.
Note the 4 sections in the Navigation menu at the upper right of this home page.
The QA member can follow this guide in unison with a sync'd Google Spreadsheet template.

There are two types of assemblies that the QA team will process:

1. New species (a species not yet exisiting as a natively-hosted browser in the rr)
2. New version for existing species (A new assembly version for a species that already has at least one version in the rr).

Understanding the google spreadsheet template for QA assembly release

Spreadsheet template: QA Assembly Release

The easiest way to create your spreadsheet is to copy the template above. Below are notes on how this template was made.

1. Create a new google spreadsheet
2. In your assembly QA spreadsheet, add the following columns. This will auto-populate steps in your spreadsheet based on these wiki sections.

The first row of the spreadsheet can be column names:

• A: Wiki Link (this column makes a link to the corresponding wiki section)
• B: Assembly QA/Release Steps (this column copies in each section of this wiki)

Put the following formulas in the 2nd row of each column:

A2

=HYPERLINK("http://genomewiki.ucsc.edu/genecats/index.php/Assembly_QA_Part_1:_DEV_Steps#"&SUBSTITUTE(B2," ", "_"),"link")

IMPORTANT: Drag the formula for "A" down the spreadsheet to populate the other rows.

B2

=HYPERLINK("http://genomewiki.ucsc.edu/genecats/index.php/Assembly_QA_Part_1:_DEV_Steps#"&SUBSTITUTE(C2," ", "_"),LEFT(C2,7))

This formula will populate all the rows below it with the wiki section titles. You do no need to drag this formula down.
