(Note that the "PDF/PS" option in the + Genome Browser top navigation bar can also be used to + generate a high-quality annotation tracks image suitable + for printing.) + <BR><BR> + <img style="border: 2px solid black; margin-left:auto; + margin-right:auto; display: block;" + src="/images/rightclick1.png" + alt="Right-click screenshot"> + <BR> + <P> + To use the right-click feature, make sure the "Enable + advanced javascript features" option on the + <A +HREF="../cgi-bin/hgTracks?hgTracksConfigPage=configure+tracks+and+display">tracks + configuration page</A> is checked, and configure your + internet browser to allow the display of popup windows from + <em>genome.ucsc.edu</em>.

Along with this growth, it has become more difficult for browser users to sort through the many tracks to find the data they're interested in. <P> With our latest Genome Browser release, we've introduced a new track search feature that will help you to quickly and easily find and display specific annotation data sets. The search feature is available via the "track search" button on the browser gateway and tracks display pages. - <P> - The default search takes one or more terms as input, and - returns a list of all the browser tracks in which the name, - description, group or associated metadata contains the - terms. The advanced search option lets the user fine-tune - the search based on the track name, description, and group. - Individuals interested in the ENCODE data available on - selected human genome assemblies can use the advanced - search to specify particular ENCODE metadata terms, such - as cell line, experiment type, etc. - <BR><BR> - <img style="border: 2px solid black; margin-left:auto; - margin-right:auto; display: block;" - src="/images/tracksearch.gif" - alt="Track search screenshot"> - <BR> - Once the list of search results is shown, you may choose - which tracks you'd like to view in the browser, and can - adjust the display modes. The search results list is - sortable by multiple criteria, and provides direct links - to detailed track descriptions and additional information - about the tracks. - <P> - Special thanks to Tim Dreszer and Larry Meyer for - implementing track search, and to the QA team - for their work in testing and finetuning it. We hope our - users, particularly those exploring ENCODE - data, will take advantage of this new feature. As always, - we appreciate your feedback.

To reorder tracks, click-and-hold the side label or gray mini-button of a single track and drag the highlighted track to a new position within the image. <A HREF="goldenPath/newsarch.html#082410">Read more</A>. </P> </TD><TD WIDTH=15> </TD></TR></TABLE> <BR></TD></TR></TABLE> </TD></TR></TABLE>
