Request for Guidance on Adding Custom Reference Genome to UCSC Genome Browser

[Areta Krisar]

Dear UCSC Genome Browser Group,

My name is Areta, and I am currently an undergraduate student in my final year, working on my thesis. I am writing to seek guidance regarding the use of custom tracks in the UCSC Genome Browser.

At present, the reference genome required for my research is not available in the database, and I need to incorporate my own reference genome. Although I have attempted to follow available instructions, including guidance from AI tools, I am still experiencing difficulties in properly adding and visualizing my custom reference.

I would greatly appreciate it if you could provide any tutorials, documentation, or recommended resources, such as instructional videos, that could help me better understand the process.

Thank you very much for your time and assistance. I look forward to your response.

Sincerely,

Areta
