That's a wonderful idea. In fact I already load the contig's FT track (from Abacas's). But, it never occurred to me that we can modify it to load linker information as well. After Alex's email, I am started to wonder if the linkers are providing any value addition at all?. I will have to explore.....
Thanks very much Alex. Gowtham PS: Are you using Abacas by any chance Alex? If so, can I ask couple questions offline. Thanks.

Works quite well for us and keeps comparison files clean/original.

Gowthaman , The right hand scroll bar controls the display of links based on size of the hit (removing shorter hits up to 1kb). If you want to control the display based on the score, then right click in the centre window and select "Set Score Cutoffs ..." Julian.
