About "define regions" in Table Browser

[Tsu-Pei Chiu (Lester)]

Hi UCSC genome browser team,

I have mirrored a local genome browser. Is it possible to release the limit of 1,000 defined regions and allow users to download more annotations of regions?

Thanks so much! 

Best,

Lester

Hello, Lester.

The 1000-region limit is not configurable.  It is hard-coded into the source code.  If you feel comfortable editing the source and recompiling, you can just change the limit to whatever you want.  Here is what you would need to do:

1.  cd kent/src/hg/hgTables
2.  grep -w 1000 *.[ch]
3.  manually replace every instance of 1000 with whatever you want the limit to be
4.  make alpha

Please contact us again at genome...@soe.ucsc.edu if you have any further questions.  Questions sent to that address will be archived in a publicly-accessible forum for the benefit of other users.  If your question contains sensitive data, you may send it instead to genom...@soe.ucsc.edu.
