Browser for new organism?

[Sanders, Sheri]

Hello,

I’m working on developing browsers for a couple of organisms, and I was pointed in the direction of the UCSC software. I looked on the website and mail servers, but everything appears to point to use of the software or at most, installation of the browser using the human data. I cannot find information on how to set up the browser for my novel organisms using novel data sets. Even the training sessions appear to be based on use, not administration.

Is there anywhere I could find a tutorial/training for setting up my own instance of a non-human UCSC genome browser? Is this outside the use case the software is designed for?

Any information is much appreciated. Thank you,

Sheri Sanders

Hello Sheri,

Thank you for your interest in the UCSC Genome Browser! You have come to the right place; the browser is specifically designed to host custom assemblies.

Our assembly hub feature allows users to host their genome and related annotations on a publicly-accessible web server and then visualize these within our browser. You can find information about creating assembly hubs on the following help pages:

Public Wiki, Assembly Hubs

Please review this previously answered mailing list question for additional information on creating and maintaining assembly hubs

​.​

If you do build a publicly accessibly assembly hub, you may request that we add a link 

​to it from ​

our public assembly hubs page.

You can also find many resources in the archive of our public mailing list by searching for the topics you're interested in:
