Hi, We have had quite a hard time getting the browser to work efficiently in the past 2 weeks. We have a large publicly available custom tracks file, that is loaded regularly (and has been for the past few years) and even though the file has gotten a little bigger recently, the browser seems abnormally slow.
Is there an exceptionnal amount of users recently that would slow down the access ? or a temporary problem on your side ? The file of custom tracks is available here (to be loaded on hg19): http://www.genomequebec.mcgill.ca/compgen/submit_db/bed/vervet_vs_humanhg19_custom_tracks.txt We have an equivalent file for the genomes of rhesus and chimp, but it seems much faster to work with these. http://www.genomequebec.mcgill.ca/compgen/submit_db/bed/vervet_vs_rhesus_custom_tracks.txt http://www.genomequebec.mcgill.ca/compgen/submit_db/bed/vervet_vs_chimp_custom_tracks.txt (one of the tracks in the human file concerns some fish experiments, and they are recent add-ons, are these tracks "heavier" because they access an html page ?) Is the problem on our side ? Does the fact that 2 or more computers on our server try to access the browser at the same time, with the same public custom track file, cause the problem ? I personnally had trouble getting the pages to finish loading (it would time out after a while) or zooming out after I locally loaded an extra bigBed file. It would sporadically work. I had to remove the custom tracks mentionned above to get it to work, but it's still not as smooth as it used to be. Is there a size limit for the custom tracks we should be able to load ? Could that bigBed file cause the slowlyness problem for the other users in my group, or should our computers be completely independent when it comes to accessing the UCSC browser ? My other question is more straight forward : I am trying to extract the subset of "Satellite" tracks from the RepeatMasker bed file for the genomes of human and rhesus, but since they belong to different classes, I have no way to know if a name is part of the class Satellite. I manually extracted some of them, but it would be greatly appreciated if you can send me the isolated subsets of satellite tracks for hg19 and rheMac2. Thanks a lot for your help !
