Track hubs are web-accessible directories of genomic data + that can be viewed on the UCSC Genome Browser alongside native annotation + tracks. The Track Hub utility allows efficient access to data sets from around + the world through the familiar Genome Browser interface. Browser users + can display tracks from any public track hub that has been registered + with UCSC. Additionally, users can import data from unlisted hubs or can + set up, display, and share their own track hubs. </P> - - <P> - <B>OMIM Genes</B> - <BR> - The genomic positions of gene entries in the OMIM database. - The coloring indicates the associated OMIM phenotype class. + <P>The data underlying the tracks in a hub reside on the remote server of + the data provider rather than at UCSC. The data are stored in compressed + binary indexed files in bigBed, bigWig or BAM format that contain the + data at several resolutions. When a hub track is displayed in the Genome + Browser, only the relevant data needed to support the view of the + current genomic region are transmitted rather than the entire file. The + transmitted data are cached on the UCSC server to expedite future + access. This on-demand transfer mechanism eliminates the need to + transmit large data sets across the Internet, thereby minimizing upload + time into the browser. </P> - - <P> - <B>OMIM Phenotypes - Gene Unknown</B> - <BR> - Regions known to be associated with a phenotype, but for which no - specific gene is known to be causative. This track also includes - known multi-gene syndromes. + <P>To check out some track data hubs that are already available, most + notably those from the NIH Roadmap Epigenomics Mapping Consortium, press + the "track hubs" button in the genome browser, or follow this link: + <A HREF="/cgi-bin/hgHubConnect">http://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgHubConnect</A> </P> - - <P> - The new tracks can be found in the Phenotype and Disease Associations - track group below the browser graphic - and are searchable by OMIM number. In most cases, - simply typing the 6-digit MIM number into the position/search box - on the Browser will take you to the record. - </P> - - <P> - The OMIM data are the property of Johns Hopkins University and - will not be available for download from UCSC.
