How to hide 'Human mRNAs' track

[Shicheng Guo]

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am try to set different configuration for my bigwigs.

I want to hide 'Conservation' and 'Human mRNAs' track. For, Conservation, it is okay. But for 'Human mRNAs' track, since there is a space between it. How can I hide this track?

Thanks. 

Please see my setting as follow:

​track KidneyMethylome

container multiWig

browser position chr19:49302001-49304701

hide Conservation Human mRNAs

Regards, 

​

Hi Shicheng,

Thank you for your question about displaying custom tracks in the UCSC Genome Browser.

Please see the following documentation in our help pages for using these "browser" lines with custom tracks: https://genome.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/help/hgTracksHelp.html#BROWSER. Note the that the "browser" lines must be in the format:

browser attribute_name attribute_value(s)

Additionally, for the "hide" option, you must specify the track table name, not the track label as you have provided:

• hide <track_primary_table_name(s)> - Hides the listed tracks. Multiple track names should be space-separated.

You can find this "track_primary_table_name" by following the instructions in the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQZ4EeYS6Zk.

Additionally, it appears that you are attempting to use "browser" lines in the trackDb.txt file of your track hub. This will not work as these "browser" tracks lines can only be used with custom tracks, not track hubs. You can, however, provide visibilities in a URL to load a track hub. For example: https://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgTracks?db=hg19&hubUrl=http://my.lab.edu/path/to/hub.txt&track_primary_table_name=hide.

I hope this is helpful. If you have any further questions, please reply to gen...@soe.ucsc.edu. All messages sent to that address are archived on a publicly-accessible Google Groups forum. If your question includes sensitive data, you may send it instead to genom...@soe.ucsc.edu.
