Good Morning Davide: I noticed your query to the galaxy email list. Something about this doesn't make any sense. If you can't specify track parameters from galaxy then you would only be able to make one track from galaxy and never more than one together.
You are correct, you can not change track names after the track is loaded into UCSC. I suspect you will get an answer from galaxy about how to manage track parameters from there. --Hiram ----- Original Message ----- From: "Davide Cittaro" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, August 6, 2010 1:45:57 AM GMT -08:00 US/Canada Pacific Subject: [Genome] Controlling a remote custom track Hi all, I have a question about custom tracks. I have a track on a specific server which can be seen through http. I can load that track to the genome browser using the hgt.customText facility (actually I'm doing this automatically with galaxy). If the track contains only data and no track description, the GB autmatically sets the track name and description to "User track". Unfortunately I cannot edit the track name in "Manage custom tracks" pages, the text field is gray and not editable. Since I cannot modify the original BED (and add the track definition line "track type=bed name=foo" there), is there any other way to modify the track name, possibly at loading time (I was thinking about another undocumented hgt.customSomething CGI variable...)?
