Hello Galt and Jennifer, Thanks for your quick reply. I'm not sure your suggestions solve the problem so I'll try to describe it clearer and attach an example. I'm writing a web server and want to display the results in the genome browser. I construct a web page with links to the URLs - each URL should display tracks of a different sequence (see the attached html file). I want that the user will open the link and get the correct display in the genome browser without having to delete former tracks or load files manually. The problem I encountered is that once I load custom tracks to the genome browser via the URL construction machinery, the tracks are saved and when I load another URL, the previous tracks I've loaded are added. How can I automatically "clean" the genome browser after each URL loading? Should I use the "sessions" feature and create a different session for each sequence? Is there a way to create a session automatically (by providing a file)?

Make a file that just contains the URLs of the tracks that you want, one line per URL. Then feed the URL of this list file to the customTracks machinery. It will work recursively (a little bit like an include file does in C), bringing in each of the other URLs. -Galt On Mon, 22 Jun 2009, Jennifer Jackson wrote: > Hello Inbal, > > For best results, load each separately using the Custom track > page/tools.
