Track Hub Developers

To improve the flow of communication about Track Hub developments this mailing list is devoted to Track Hub Collaboration. New members can apply by clicking the "Appy to join group" link. Posts to the track-hubs@soe.ucsc.edu address (viewable at http://groups.google.com/a/soe.ucsc.edu/group/track-hubs) will include updates about new settings the UCSC Browser releases as well as provide a potential avenue for Developers supporting Track Hubs on Genome Browsers to collaborate.

People with questions about Track Hubs should email the private (genome-www@soe.ucsc.edu) or public (genome@soe.ucsc.edu) general support mailing lists.
