Hi Alex, The team is discussing options at this point. The need to find a solution for users without access to large servers is realized. Nothing has been decided yet. If something is developed, I expect that there would be an announcement to alert users - or at a minimum a note in the CGI release notes posted to the genome-mirror mailing list.
Meanwhile, the solution is to skip using this type of tool and instead handle large datasets by breaking them up by chromosome and loading each as a distinct custom track. These can (and should, if possible) be loaded using a url, in batch. You have brought up an important point and we appreciate your feedback, Jennifer ------------------------------------------------ Jennifer Jackson UCSC Genome Bioinformatics Group ----- "Alexandre Blais" <[email protected]> wrote: > From: "Alexandre Blais" <[email protected]> > To: [email protected] > Sent: Friday, January 22, 2010 5:43:42 AM GMT -08:00 US/Canada Pacific > Subject: [Genome] Wigtobigwig on Windows platform ? > > Hello > We are interested in using the bigWig format. > In part due to the reduced lifespan of custom tracks on the browser. > > We are wondering whether a version of the Wigtobigwig program will > become available soon for the windows platform, or as a > platform-independent (e.g. Java) program. > > Thanks much for your help > > Alex > ----------------------------------------- > Alexandre Blais, Ph.D. > Ottawa Institute of Systems Biology > > > _______________________________________________ > Genome maillist - [email protected] > https://lists.soe.ucsc.edu/mailman/listinfo/genome _______________________________________________ Genome maillist - [email protected] https://lists.soe.ucsc.edu/mailman/listinfo/genome
