Our lab is trying to streamline the process of creating links that can be clicked directly rather than loaded in the Custom Track tool. (Links of the form: http://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgTracks?db=hg18&position=chr21:33038447-33041505&hgct_customText=track%20type=bigBed%20name=myBigBedTrack%20description=%22a%20bigBed%20track%22%20visibility=full%20bigDataUrl=http://genome.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/help/examples/bigBedExample.bb)
We've had success creating links for viewing bigWig tracks; but most of our files are in .wig.gz format. When we attempt to visit this link (names removed): http://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgTracks?db=hg19&position=chr8:128451376-128834335&hgct_customText=track%20type=wiggle_0%20name=%22trackName%22%20description=%22trackName%201,25%22%20color=233,43,75%20visibility=full%20horizGrid=on%20yLineOnOff=off%20autoScale=on%20alwaysZero=on%20graphType=points%20maxHeightPixels=22:33:44%20windowingFunction=mean+whiskers%20smoothingWindow=off%20priority=12%20viewLimits=0:50%20bigDataUrl=https://ourdomain.edu/wiggleData.wig.gz This error is displayed at the top of the window. * track load error (track name='ct_trackName_5944'): ERROR: wigEncode: empty input file: 'stdin' We've had success loading the same file manually as a custom track; it's not empty. Is it possible to load a wig.gz file as a custom track using the bigDataUrl? What could we be missing? thanks! _______________________________________________ Genome maillist - [email protected] https://lists.soe.ucsc.edu/mailman/listinfo/genome
