Hello Steve, The best format for your data would be bigWig. Please see this announcement for general info on the bigWig format:
https://lists.soe.ucsc.edu/pipermail/genome-announce/2009-July/000165.html And for specific info about using bigWig for custom tracks: http://genome.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/help/bigWig.html http://genomewiki.ucsc.edu/index.php/Selecting_a_graphing_track_data_format In addition to being better suited to larger data sets the bigWig format will also allow you to specify scaling parameters in the header section of the custom track. For more detail on this see our microarray track wiki: http://genomewiki.ucsc.edu/index.php/Microarray_track#Microarray_Custom_Tracks Hopefully this information was helpful and answers your question. If you have further questions or require clarification feel free to contact the mailing list at [email protected].
