Dear genome folks,

I would like to display a custom track of protein-versus-genome
alignments.  I tried using PSL format, but there seems to be a bug
with "-" strands.

For example, I blatted this sequence against hg19 with "output type"
set to hyperlink:
LSVADHAPQFAVPSDTATAPQAESVLRPLYMDVQATTPL

The output looks like this:
SCORE START  END QSIZE IDENTITY CHRO STRAND  START    END      SPAN
  63     1    39    39  77.0%    20  +-   34286403  34286519    117
When I view it in the browser, the arrows go right-to-left, which is
correct.

I repeated this blat with "output type" set to psl:
match mis-  rep.        N's     Q gap   Q gap   T gap   T gap   strand  ...
      match match               count   bases   count   bases           ...
30    9     0           0       0       0       0       0       +-      ...
I then pasted this PSL line into "add custom tracks".
When I view it in the browser, the arrows go left-to-right, which
seems wrong.


By the way, can I / should I use any format other than PSL for a
custom track of translated alignments?  I tried MAF, but it didn't
work.  It would be nice if I could click on a track item and see the
alignment.  It would be nice if stop codons and frameshifts were
highlighted in red or something, is it possible to do that?

Have a nice day,
