Coli genome for the first time. I am trying to use microbial genome browser as I usually work with standard genome browser. I have to work with a custom track which is very large, so I thought to use a bigWig file. But I cannot use fetchChromSize.sh since it says "ftp command failed ERROR: sorry, attempt to fetch chrom.sizes has failed ?" Later, I created an "artificial" file (similar to those for hg19, for instance), with the only line chr 4639675 since Coli has one unique chromosome. The bigwig was created but microbial browser told me "Unrecognized format line 1 of http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4632963/COLI/e_coli_k12_HD30.flexibility.bw: &� (note: chrom names are case sensitive)" Maybe there is a problem with bacterial genomes where chromosomes are unique? Or maybe it is not possible to use bigwig format on microbial browser? Anyway, thankyou for helping me, Giulia Menconi Giulia Menconi, PhD free lance scientist Algorithms for Bioinformatics University of Pisa menconigiulia at gmail for com Skype: adgiuliam _______________________________________________ Genome maillist - [email protected] https://lists.soe.ucsc.edu/mailman/listinfo/genome _______________________________________________ Genome maillist - [email protected] https://lists.soe.ucsc.edu/mailman/listinfo/genome
