Hello everyone,

We are excited to announce a new improvement to the UCSC Genome Browser: the Visible Tracks group. The Genome Browser now includes a dynamic track group that automatically displays all currently visible tracks in one convenient location. This means you no longer need to hunt through multiple track categories to adjust tracks you've already turned on.

Previously, managing visible tracks required navigating back to their original categories — whether that was Genes and Gene Predictions, Conservation, Variation, or any other group. Now, all your active tracks appear together in the Visible Tracks group, making it faster and easier to adjust display modes for visible tracks.

The "Visible Tracks" group will appear only when more than 32 tracks are available for a genome assembly.

We would like to thank Chris Lee and Jairo Navarro Gonzalez for releasing this feature.
