There is not set limit for custom track uploads. As long as apache keeps receiving data it won't time out. Same for the browser.
You should check out the bigBed and bigWig format. They would be perfect for what you are trying to do. It only loads data that you are actually viewing on demand. http://genome.cse.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/help/bigBed.html http://genome.cse.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/help/bigWig.html TO make it work, you need a site where you can host the data. Sounds like you have that already. Next you need to get the utilities explained above from http://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/admin/exe/linux.x86_64/ Or compile them from kent source. http://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/admin/jksrc.zip There are instructions under src/product. -Galt On 09/29/10 11:11, [email protected] wrote: > Hi UCSC, > > I created a wiggle track from theoretical read data of the exome and wanted > to view it in the genome browser. > The file I want to upload is 1.1 Gb.
