Good Afternoon Rouben:
Please note the following discussion about adding
tracks to the genome browser:
src/product/README.trackDb
If you can add one manually, you could maybe make an automatic
process. Your fundamental problem is that users often do
not submit correct data for a track and you would end up
with a lot of meaningless tracks unless you have a curator
to take them out.
