Hi Dana, Your custom track data should be in a tab-separated file using one of the formats supported by the Genome Browser. This help page provides a description of each format: http://genome.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/help/hgTracksHelp.html#CustomTracks. I suggest using BED format for your purposes.
I hope this helps. Please contact us again at [email protected] if you have any further questions. --- Luvina Guruvadoo UCSC Genome Bioinformatics Group On 4/24/2012 9:41 AM, Levasseur, Dana wrote: > Hello, > > I am trying to upload a custom track to the genome browser that will enable > me to display alternative transcripts.
