trackhub-demo

This repo is a demo to host a UCSC trackhub on GitHub to visualize bigWigs and bigBeds.

Steps to connect trackhub-demo to UCSC genome browser

• Go to UCSC genome browser and goto My Data > Track Hubs
• Now select the My Hubs tab on the page.
• Copy and paste the below url into the URL field and click on Add Hub
  • https://raw.githubusercontent.com/prashantkuntala/trackhub-demo/main/hub.txt

This should load the trackhub. UCSC genome browser will redirect after selecting the organism specified in the hub.txt file. Click on Go and you should see your trackhub loaded as a section in the track selector interface.

If you wish to host all your bigwigs on a different server, you can do so by deleting the sacCer3/data/ folder and updating bigDataUrl, in the subtracks.txt file, to contain the absolute filepath for each sample's bigwig on the external server.
