Hi,

Is there any file size limit for loading a bed file into UCSC's custom
track? I am loading a ~200MB file, it takes forever...

Thanks.
YB

Hello,

The track GC Percent may be helpful. It is based on the
reference genome.

   quote from GC Percent track description page: Description

   The GC percent track shows the percentage of G (guanine)
   and C   (cytosine) bases in 5-base windows. High GC content
   is typically associated with gene-rich areas.

   You could BLAT your sequence against the reference genome
   and view the region or note the coordinates, then export
   data from this track using the Table browser.

   Or for batch use, if you know the coordinates, upload them
   into the region filter in the Table browser and export data
   from the GC Percent track or use the file from downloads (below).

To this in batch on the command line to generate GC content for your own 
sequences, use the utility percentage from the kent source tree. It 
would take input data that you format. Please ask if you need help to 
convert your files to the required formats.
