Hello Saatvik, Using track type PSL should be giving you the desired track configuration.
src/product/README.trackDb quote: There are a variety of file formats: GFF, GTF, PSL, WIG, MAF as well as a variety of specialized data types. All the loader programs can be seen in the source tree as subdirectories in: src/hg/makeDb/ $ cd src/hg/makeDb $ ls -d hg* If you have not tried this type, please do and let us know if it does not provide the information you are expecting. With your reply, for diagnostic reasons, please also include: - the text, HTML, or a screen shot of your details page - all the psl records for the particular alignment displayed (not all of your data, just the record for the example) - fasta sequence of the example - trackDb.ra entry - what genome and assembly you are working with - note whether you are loading data into your own mySQL instance or the regular UCSC instance (using your own instance for your own data is the recommended method, as explained in the README files) Please just send the data to me directly, not the entire mailing list. Thank you!
