	Genome Browser contacts:We maintain two public interactive mailing lists 
	(genome@soe.ucsc.edu
        
	and genome-mirror@soe.ucsc.edu)
	
	where you can post specific questions about the UCSC Genome Browser 
	software, database, genome assemblies, release cycles, and mirroring. 	
	For more information on the genome-mirror mailing list, see the 
	Mirroring section below.
	We also offer a third read-only mailing list reserved for project 
	announcements posted by our staff.
 
	Prior to posting a question to the mailing list, please review  
        our technical support 
	guidelines or read
this 
PLoS Comp Bio editorial. 
        Many questions have been answered before; we strongly encourage you to 
	search the archives before submitting a question to either list.

        Messages sent to this address will be posted to the moderated genome 
	mailing list, which is also archived on a public Web-accessible 
	pipermail archive. This archive may be indexed by non-UCSC sites 
        such as Google.  When including a link to a specific view of the browser
        in your question, please remove the "hgsid" parameter and setting from 
        the URL as this can cause your personal settings to change unexpectedly.
        We recommend taking a snapshot of your current browser view with our 
        Session tool and sending 
        a link to that session.

	 Reporting server problems:
 Server errors or other problems accessing the UCSC Genome Browser or 
	BLAT server should be sent to
	genome-www@soe.ucsc.edu.
 Regular weekly maintenance of the Genome Browser database occurs on
	Sunday afternoons between the hours of 2:00 - 3:00 p.m. Pacific Time.
	Although we allocate an hour for this maintenance, the actual down time
	is usually only a few minutes. Occasionally, additional 
	maintenance is scheduled by the School of Engineering. These 
	service interruptions are posted on the Genome Browser home page.
	 
	 Commerical licensing:
 Questions about commercial licensing of the Genome Browser should be
	sent to
	genome-www@soe.ucsc.edu.
	
	For more information about licensing, see the Genome Browser
	software licensing requirements.
 
	Questions regarding commercial licensing of Blat should be directed to
	kent@soe.ucsc.edu.
	See the Kent Informatics web site for more information.
	 
	 
	 Mirroring:
 The genome-mirror mailing list is
	a forum to which licensed and non-commercial sites can post
	questions about the setup and maintenance of Genome Browser mirrors.
	Note that commercial use of the source code requires a 
	license.
 
	
	Post a mirror site inquiry: 
	genome-mirror@soe.ucsc.edu.
