Hello Dr Pagnamenta, 1)
For static figures (PDF?), including a link is certainly possible. You can use a bit map in the html over the embedded graphic or add in text around the graphic when you mark up the page. The name you use for the link does not have to be the actual link url - you can name the link anything you want. Sessions are persistent for 4 months (recently reduced from 1 year). There are some choices for making data more persistent. The first is to create your own mirror and load the data there (resource intensive). The second is to host the data from your own server, then use a link that creates the custom track as a new submission each time it is used. The link would include all of the browser/track line information and a url pointer to the data file (http or ftp). 2) There are several data format options for graphing. Wiggle format would be one suggested format for quantitative data. Please see this discussion: http://genomewiki.ucsc.edu/index.php/Selecting_a_graphing_track_data_format We cannot help you create an HTML page, but there is help for constructing a link to share your data: http://genome.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/help/hgTracksHelp.html#CustomTracks http://genome.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/help/hgTracksHelp.html#SHARE Hopefully this helps, Jennifer --------------------------------- Jennifer Jackson UCSC Genome Informatics Group http://genome.ucsc.edu/ On 3/18/10 2:17 AM, Alistair Pagnamenta wrote: > > Dear sir / madam, > > I have two quick questions relating to publishing figures using UCSC genome > browser: > > 1.
