Looking for individual genome browsers

Hi folks--

Does anyone have knowledge of a mirror of the James Watson genome browser? Venter? Some other individuals?

There was an old gbrowse set up with these at CSHL, at this location: http://jimwatsonsequence.cshl.edu/ But that's been down lately.

Looking for a lightweight one, just for some teaching purposes. I know the data is available elsewhere (such as the UCSC Genome Variants track), but I'm looking for a graphical browser that's not too daunting for newbies, with limited data and tracks.

Any hints? Other good teaching ones?

Try this one. http://genoverse.org/ (lightweight and HTML5 based genome browser)

or http://www.genomesunzipped.org/jbrowse/ (jbrowse based)

The main caveat is that you have to load your own customized data.

Gencode uses this one. http://www.biodalliance.org/

Would this be what you're looking for?
