<p>The debt ceiling and budget kerfuffles seem to have delayed things in Bethesda somewhat, with the ripple effect of delaying our process of hiring someone to fill the JBrowse lead developer position, but we hope that will all be resolved soon (watch this space). In the meantime, check out the progress that Natalie has made with faceted browsing and hierarchical track organization -- it is really exciting, and in fact seems quite obviously crucial, as genome databases naturally progress to having hundreds and even thousands of experimental annotation tracks.</p>
