This allows you to set position, configuration options, and write a more complete desciption. If you want to see codons, you can right click, then click configure codon view or set this options using
baseColorDefault=genomicCodons
as is done below.

Once you are done, you should have a track on the Genome Browser like the one below.
If you would like to share your bigGenePred data track with a colleague, learn how to create a URL link to your data by looking at Example #6 on the custom track help page.
Because the bigGenePred files are an extension of bigBed files, which are indexed binary files, it can be difficult to extract data from them. UCSC has developed the following programs to
