This example should help clarify what I mean. example someTrack
with marker format: snp001 0.5 0.6 snp002 0.3 0.9 [...] or with chromosome and position format: chr1 3523424 0.5 0.6 chr1 3542445 0.3 0.9 [...] This will create two GG tracks: someTrack 1 which corresponds to the values 0.5 and 0.3 someTrack 2 which corresponds to the values 0.6 and 0.9 This explains why you see "someTrack 1" instead of just "someTrack" when you have only a single column of numbers. -Galt > ________________________________________ > From: Galt Barber [[email protected]] > Sent: Monday, November 16, 2009 11:54 AM > To: Jennifer Jackson > Cc: Huang, Jie (NIH/NHLBI) [F]; [email protected] > Subject: Re: [Genome] a final round of questions on UCSC GENOME GRAPHS > >> The track is named when added to the graphing tool (short label). > > Why they are numbered I am not exactly sure - I will ask and get back > to you. > > The Genome Graphs custom track input format specifies > that after the chrom position or marker you may have one OR MORE values. > It kind of assumes that all the first column values of values after > the marker make up one set, the second column if it exists is a second > set of values, etc. > > So the number one is to distinguish between the sets. > If you only have one value of columns, the extra number seems > superfluous, but if you had more than one it would be necessary > to distinguish them. > > -Galt _______________________________________________ Genome maillist - [email protected] https://lists.soe.ucsc.edu/mailman/listinfo/genome
