Dear UCSC genome browser team, I would like to display custom ChIP-seq tracks stored as bigWig format. The tracks display successfully when I use a custom track configuration file stored on a live server (cf. test.txt file) – please see example below: http://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgTracks?org=mm9&position=chr18%3A61265226-61290793&hgt.customText=http://www.macrophages.com/testtracks/test.txt
Now, if I generate the file through a web application and provide the file as an Input stream to the “hgt.customText” parameter in the UCSC custom track URL (please see full URL below), I receive the following error: # -- Error: Unrecognized format line 3 of http://www.macrophages.com/BIW-2/DisplayUCSCTrack.action?chromosome=chr18: (note: chrom names are case sensitive) # -- URL: http://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgTracks?db=mm9&position=chr18%3A61265226-61290793&hgt.customText=http://www.macrophages.com%2FBIW-2%2FDisplayUCSCTrack.action%3Fchromosom%3D18%26amp%3Bassembly%3Dmm9%26amp%3Bstart%3D61265226%26amp%3Bend%3D61290793 The file generated by the web application has the same content as that stored at: http://www.macrophages.com/testtracks/test.txt, which displays all custom tracks as desired (as mentioned above). Would you have any idea as to why there is a reported error on line 3 when the content of the file doesn’t seem to be an issue (as tested with parameter hgt.customText equal to http://www.macrophages.com/testtracks/test.txt)? Thank you very much for your help.
