Hello,
Thank you for using the UCSC Genome Browser and sending your inquiry.
The following help page will guide you through uploading a BED and a BAM custom track.
https://genome.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/help/hgTracksHelp.html#CustomTracks
A custom track is defined by three lines: the browser line, the track line, and the data lines. The browser
and track lines control the configuration options when you load the custom track. The data lines are the
annotations that you are displaying on the UCSC Genome Browser. A BED custom track is text-based and
can be uploaded directly to the UCSC Genome Browser. A BAM file is binary indexed and will require you
to host the BAM file on a remote server that accepts byte-range requests. The "bigDataUrl" parameter in
the track line specifies where the UCSC Genome Browser should fetch the data. Here are examples of
browser lines, track lines, and data lines for a BED and BAM custom tracks:
To view the BAM file, you may be interested in using a new feature we are providing, Hub Space.
With Hub Space, users get 10 GB of storage for free, which can be expanded if needed. If you have
the BAM file on your local computer, you can upload the file to Hub Space, and the feature will
automatically create a track hub for you.
As this is a new feature, any feedback or suggestions you have are happily appreciated.
I hope this is helpful. If you have any further questions, please reply to gen...@soe.ucsc.edu.
