Good Morning Viren: Try adding this setting in your allCustomTracks.txt:

However the difference is that we are using the hgt.customText option to the URL to specify which tracks to display, e.g. http://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgTracks?db=hg18&hgt.customText=http://obfuscated/allCustomTracks.txt&position=17q11.2 and in the allCustomTracks.txt file we have: browser hide all browser dense knownGene browser dense refGene browser dense dgv browser dense genomicSuperDups browser dense cytoBand browser dense cnp browser dense omimGene browser dense decipher browser pack iscaPathogenic browser pack iscaLikelyPathogenic browser pack iscaUncertain browser pack iscaLikelyBenign browser pack iscaBenign This hides all the tracks, and shows the dense tracks, but does not show the ISCA tracks. I tried changing the display mode of the ISCA tracks to dense or full but none worked. Maybe I have the tracks names wrong?
