Hello,

When webBLAT is used to align a sequence, and then the alignment is 
viewed in the Genome Browser,
"alignments of nucleotides use color to highlight differences as follows:

    * *red:* Genome and query sequence have different bases at this
      position.
    * *orange:* The query sequence has an insertion (or genome has a
      deletion / alignment gap) at this point.
    * *purple:* The query sequence extends beyond the end of the alignment.
    * *green:* The query sequence appears to have a polyA tail which is
      not aligned to the genome.

Also, when the alignment has gaps for both genome and query sequence, 
double horizontal lines are drawn."

However, if command-line BLAT is used to do the alignment, and then the 
psl output file added to the Genome Browser as a custom track, all of 
this colour and double-line information is lost.

Is there any way to make a custom track that retains this information in 
any way?

~Thanks,
Lucas Swanson
