Dear all,

I created a track using the following syntax and it seems working well.  However the description shows on the top of the display in the middle of the screen, but the name does not show on the left panel.  Is there a way to show name in vcfTabix track type?

track type=vcfTabix name="827_CL_WGS" description="827 cell line WGS data"  maxWindowToDraw=200000 db=hg19 visibility=pack bigDataUrl=http://helix.nih.gov/~NOB2/827CL.ucsc.vcf.gz

Thanks,

Anna

Hello Anna,

Thank you for using the UCSC Genome Browser and for submitting your question regarding track label visibility for the "name" definition in a VCF custom track. If you remove or change the definition for visibility, you can enable the appearance of your track name label at the left of the browser window. Alternatively, you can simply view your custom track in the browser, and in the section "Custom Tracks" you can change your track setting to "dense."

As is true for all tracks, selecting visibility to anything except for "dense" will remove the track name label on the left side of the browser. To see this, you can select any track in the browser and change the visibility setting, noting that the track name will not appear in the left browser column if visibility is set to pack, full, or squish; this track name label will only appear in the "dense" mode.

In your custom track, you can set your track name, "827_CL_WGS" to appear in the left column of the browser by doing one of the following:

1. Change your visibility definition from "pack" to "dense." This will set your default visibility to dense.
2. Remove the visibility definition completely (will default to dense).
3. Simply change the track setting in the browser from "pack" to "dense" manually. If you reset the browser settings, the track will revert to whatever visibility you have set to be the default.

Here is a
​link to a ​
session
which displays your data with visibility set to 1)
​ ​
dense 2)
​ ​
full 3)
​ ​
pack 4)
​ ​
squish 5)
​ ​
no visibility defined
​. You can change the settings on each of those to see how they change. ​


Thank you again for your inquiry and for using the UCSC Genome Browser.
