Hi Browser Team, A development request, if possible.
There are times when there are too many items in a given track to see, and it gets compressed into one bottom line. This particularly happens in the EST tracks, but also sometimes in mRNAs. When there is sequence in all of them, fine, they are usually qualitatively the same, and if I can't see all of them, its ok, if I really need them, I can get them through the table browser. But there are instances, like in hg18 chr2:136,591,780-136,591,840 (only 61 bp!) there are too many "other ESTs", but the only ones shown in the browser are ones without sequence in that area - I just get lots of lines going through, when I can't even get the accession numbers of the ones I'm interested in! (which are all compressed at the bottom). If I go to the table browser, I get all the ESTs, because they all go through the area, when I'm only interested in the ones with actual sequence in that area. Is there some way you could program it that when there are too many, the ones with sequence in the given area get priority to be shown? This happens often actually, I just finally remembered to save a specific example... Another question, I've run into the problem of not having xenoESTs in browsers other than human more and more recently. Its a very useful track, particularly for other organisms, (like fish for example), when several of our scientists would like to compare EST collections of species without genomes to species that have sequenced genomes. I know that the track did exist in the past, and at some point (if I recall correctly) it was removed. Is there any way to consider bringing it back? Even if just in table form, and not on the browser?
