Hello, Moshe,

Here are some tips about getting .bam and .bb files into
Custom Tracks.  You will have to contact the Galaxy helpdesk
about how to make a url that that can be useful for that
purpose.  I do not know if Galaxy can make the files
available to the web for you, or if you will have to download
them to your own server.

1. For bigBed: the .bb file must be available on a public http
or ftp server; then use its URL to make a track line as in
http://genome.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/help/bigBed.html

2. For bam: both the .bam and the .bam.bai files must be available
in the same directory on a public http or ftp server. Use the .bam
URL to make a track line as in
http://genome.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/help/bam.html

Galaxy help is here:  http://wiki.g2.bx.psu.edu/Support

regards,

                        --b0b kuhn
