Hi Dashti,
You can upload your data in a custom track and then save it as a session. To upload a custom track please click "Add Custom Track" from the gateway page (http://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgGateway). Help documents are available on the custom tracks page. NGS data is large so we recommend bigDataUrl types (bigBed, bigWig, BAM, VCF). However, the data file URLs have to be accessible by our servers in order for us to display them. Information regarding each file format is available from the customs track page. Please note that if the data files are protected by HTTP or FTP username and password, and the custom track's bigDataUrl includes the username and password, then our servers can access the files, and anyone without the username and password can't access them. However, this is not secure because the HTTP or FTP username and password are transmitted to UCSC without encryption. It is theoretically possible that they could be snooped in transit to UCSC. Of course the HTTP or FTP password should *never* be the same as a system login password. Using Sessions is the best way to share views with collaborators. In addition to custom tracks, the position and other settings can be customized and saved, and then a simple link to the session can be shared. After uploading your custom tracks you want to save, click on the "Sessions" link from the blue navigation bar. There is help information available to you on the Sessions page. With regard to time limits, please see this page for more information: http://genome.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/help/hgSessionHelp.html#CTs Here is a list of all of the publicly available custom tracks: http://genome.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/customTracks/custTracks.html You also might be interested in our new Data Hubs tool. To learn more about Data Hubs, click on "track hubs" from the gateway page ( http://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgGateway) Hope this helps to clarify things for you. If you have further questions, please contact the mailing list: [email protected].

I just want to know if there is time limit for the data to be hosted at your website ? You also mentioned in your help page that you offer help to group that want to publicly want to share their NGS data, if this is the case do you have any rat strain NGS data publically available ?
