Good Afternoon Chris: Yes, you can use custom tracks. You will have to turn on a custom track database: http://genomewiki.ucsc.edu/index.php/Using_custom_track_database
The saved session business is an entirely different matter. That requires a local wiki installation just like genomewiki. We do not have instructions for setting that part up. We might be able to work through that if you really need that. However, since you are in control of your mirror, you are in control of how your custom tracks expire. If you don't want them to expire, simply do not run the database cleaner scripts and avoid clearing the trash/ct/ directory. --Hiram [email protected] wrote: > Hi Hiram, > > I forgot to ask you: > > 1- With your system of uploading CT directly into the DB, are we still > able to use the Genome Browser Custom Track Session system? > 2- Is this session system also manage through a database or is an > independent system or is it linked to genome-wiki? > 3- can we use the session system only locally?
