Hi Dan, We have a tool for converting bed files to bigBed. Follow the download link and instructions listed here: http://genome.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/help/bigBed.html
You should use the bedDetail '.as' file - see Example Three in the above link, and here: http://genome-test.cse.ucsc.edu/~kent/src/unzipped/hg/lib/ To link to an external html file using column 13 (Id), I think you can place a url line with $$ in the trackDb for the hub you create with this bigBed. If you have any additional questions, please reply to: [email protected] - Greg Roe UCSC Genome Bioinformatics Group To link out to external html using column 13 (Id) the user would place a url line with $$ in the trackDb for the data.
