Hello, There are some ways to group tracks together under a common header, but it would require setting up a mirror and following the instructions for making what is called a composite track. I am guessing that you do not want to this, but please correct me if you do and I can provide links to help/instructions.
To use custom tracks and the UCSC browser, you can try organizing into Sessions. Each is still separate but it can be grouped smaller and put away when you don't want to see all of it. To really group the data in a custom track you will need to group the input and use the name or score or whatever variable is appropriate for your data to distinguish between types. This could be potentially done programatically and even dynamically on your side if you have programming resource, we do not have tools for this. I am not sure what data format you are using, so I'll give you a link to all types. Most have at least one option for adding a variable that can be used to designate a particular data set. Be sure to follow all formatting rules for the best results. http://genome.ucsc.edu/FAQ/FAQcustom http://genome.ucsc.edu/FAQ/FAQformat I hope this helps to get you started, but be sure to let us know if you need more guidance, Jennifer ------------------------------------------------ Jennifer Jackson UCSC Genome Bioinformatics Group ----- "Karel de Groot" <[email protected]> wrote: > From: "Karel de Groot" <[email protected]> > To: [email protected] > Sent: Monday, September 14, 2009 6:00:11 AM GMT -08:00 US/Canada Pacific > Subject: [Genome] Multiple Data Sets in 1 Track, custom tracks > > Hi, > > I am trying to add information (from a URL) per Block to a custom > Track, somthing like a SNP track where every SNP links to its own > information.
