Hello Craig, You can add in the SNP base variation into the "name" field of the BED file. It will not remove the directional arrows, but it will label the data point.
If your SNP base variation is contained in a longer sequence string, an alternative is to upload the sequences, run BLAT, and output as a custom track. http://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgBlat Jennifer Jackson UCSC Genome Bioinformatics Group Benson, Craig C wrote: > Is there a method to display text within the colored lines of a custom track? > For instance, when I create a custom track in BED format and specify either > "+" or "-" strand, this is displayed in the Genome Browser as ">>>" or "<<<" > within the custom track.
