I understand that. Our lab has a local installation of a UCSC Genome Browser, 
so I would have access to those database resources. 

Is there a way to issue (for example) a "wget" or "curl" command, packaging the 
requisite POST and GET variables in an HTTP request to hgGenome, so as to 
automate figure generation?
