Hi Smitha, A file format that is commonly used for multiple alignments is MAFs. This file format is supported by our custom track tool. Information on the MAF file format can be found here:
http://genome.ucsc.edu/FAQ/FAQformat.html#format5 Once you create this file following the guidelines above, go to the custom track page which you can get to from the gateway page (http://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgGateway) and click "add custom tracks". This will take you to the custom track tool. Select the appropriate clade, genome and assembly. Then you can either choose the upload the file off of your computer or paste the contents in the box below where it says "Paste URLs or data: ". Please see the User's Guide (http://genome.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/help/customTrack.html) if you need further help. If you have further questions, please email the list: [email protected].
