Hi Hiram, Maybe I should first explain what kind of interface I would like. I would like to give the user an excel file which includes icons representing different custom-tracks, so that when the user clicks on icons he/she is directed to the genome browser where the custom tracks are shown. If such (or similar) possibility exists. Currently I am not interested in building specific web page for direction to genome browser unless I have no other options.
