Hello,

I am trying to display pairwise alignments generated by BLAT (Genbank
sequences to hg18) using the MAF format. I like the MAF format since it is
pretty close to the UCSC cgi custom track for blat results in that it shows
gaps and mismatches graphically. Now if I upload my MAF track (attached) as
a custom track, it works fine, but if I load it into our mysql database (we
run a personal browser mirror) using hgLoadMaf and add it to my trackDb.ra
entry it doesn't work properly. It looks fine when you're zoomed out but
when I zoom in (to the point where it would normally show the seq. ident
plot) the browser crashes and just gives me a completely blank webpage. It's
obviously this track because if I turn it off everything else works fine.

Any thoughts on what I might be doing wrong? All the examples I saw in the
kent src doc were multiple alignments to reference genomes. My MAF aligns
short sequences from Genbank to a reference genome.

My commands for loading the MAF looks like this:

hgLoadMaf hg18 bejsaGenbankBLAT
-pathPrefix=/cluster/u/curator/tracks/hg18 -custom
-loadFile=genbankBLAT.maf
hgLoadMafSummary -minSize=50 -mergeGap=500 -maxSize=50000 hg18
bejsaGenbankBLATSummary /cluster/u/curator/tracks/hg18/genbankBLAT.maf

and my hg18 trackDb.ra entry is as follows:

track bejsaGenbankBLAT
shortLabel Endogenous enhancers
longLabel Endogenous (same species) enhancers BLAT
color 0,255,0
priority 1000
group regulation
visibility dense
mafDot on
type maf
mafFile /cluster/u/curator/tracks/hg18/genbankBLAT.maf
summary bejsaGenbankBLATSummary

Thanks,
Saatvik
