Hello Jaysheel,

Instructions for adding descriptions are clarified in this prior answer:
https://lists.soe.ucsc.edu/pipermail/genome-mirror/2006-August/000154.html

Specifically, these README files detail the process:
src/hg/makeDb/trackDb/README
src/product/README.trackDb

Examples in:
src/hg/makeDb/trackDb/trackDb.ra

The main point is to create an html file for the track and place it in 
the src/makeDb/trackDb/ hierarchy. Modify the trackDb.ra file for that 
assembly then run make to rebuild the tables.

The README files describe various options to customize (use of 
variables, external urls). For an example, pick a track that has a 
similar description to the one you want to create, examine the 
trackDb.ra content and the xxx.html and use that as a template along 
with the content in the README files.

Other discussions that may be of interest as they cover some of the 
finer points:

You can also do your own search against the mailing list archives to 
read about more interesting corner cases. You can search from this page:
http://genome.ucsc.edu/contacts.html
https://lists.soe.ucsc.edu/pipermail/genome-mirror/

Subscribing to the genome-mirror mailing list (if you have not already) 
is highly recommended for mirror administrators.
http://genome.ucsc.edu/contacts.html#mirror

For next time, it is preferable to send mirror related questions to that 
mailing list [email protected]

Hopefully this helps to get you started. Please let us know if/when you 
need more assistance,
Jennifer
