Melissa and Max to talk about a BRCA Challenge track hub #88

Open melissacline opened 9 years ago

melissacline commented 9 years ago

From Max: " think it may be useful to provide the BRCA data as a genome browser track hub. It could be loaded by UCSC, Ensembl and Dalliance and allow a visual impression of the variants, relative to gene models. I've built this a while ago, the data would just have to be moved to the BRCA website and link provided somewhere on the data page."

This email may be useful in this context, it includes the link to the hub:

Hi,

here is a link to a track hub I've hacked together that includes ONLY the enigma variants: http://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgTracks?db=hg19&hubUrl=http://hgwdev.soe.ucsc.edu/~max/brca/hub.txt

The track has just a placeholder description when you click on the features or the track name... do you have an html page I could add as a description of this track? I imagine it would be a description of BrcaExchange and Enigma, as Enigma is currently the track title.

The files for the hub are here: http://hgwdev.soe.ucsc.edu/~max/brca/ I had to write only the five little text files as described in our help docs, it's really easy: https://genome.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/help/hgTrackHubHelp.html#Setup

If you want to modify these files, you have to logon to hgwdev for now and modify them here /cluster/home/max/public_html/brca They're not on the brca server yet at the moment, but will eventually move there.

The links from your pages will have to look like this: http://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgTracks?db=hg19&hubUrl=http://hgwdev.soe.ucsc.edu/~max/brca/hub.txt&position=:- You can show a little bit of context around the variant with a parameter like "&highlight=hg19.chr9:136135846-136136108#FF69B4", this parameter highlights chr9:136135846-136136108 with the color FF69B4.

Here is an example link for a single variant, with 100bp context on each side and the variant itself highlighted in pink ( you can change the color to anything else) http://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgTracks?db=hg19&hubUrl=http://hgwdev.soe.ucsc.edu/~max/brca/hub.txt&position=chr17:41233443-41233644&highlight=hg19.chr17:41233543-41233544#FF69B4

cheers Max
