Hi Nicholas, Our collaborators at the Galaxy project at Penn State have a tool that will help you with this.The Galaxy web address is: http://main.g2.bx.psu.edu/ . Take a look at "Operate on Genomic Internals" on the left-side menu, then "Fetch closest non-overlapping feature for every interval".
If you already have custom tracks you would like to use, from the Galaxy page click "Get Data" (left-side menu) then "UCSC Main table browser". Then select your custom track, set output format: "all fields from selected table", click "get output", then click "Send query to Galaxy". This should make your custom track(s) available for use on Galaxy's site. If you have any questions about Galaxy, their helpdesk address is [email protected]. I hope this helps. Please contact us again at [email protected] if you have any further questions.
