    How do I create a link to the Genome Browser to share my data?

    The easiest way to save and share tracks from the URL is by logging in to your Genome Browser account and creating a saved session. Saved sessions are a versatile way to share data that may include native annotations, Custom -Tracks, Track Hubs, and Assembly Hubs. In these examples, text in brackets "<" and ">" -indicate places where the user supplies information.

    +Tracks, Track Hubs, and Assembly Hubs. In these examples, text in brackets "<" and ">" +indicate places where the user supplies information. Note that the bracket are not needed for the +URL, not removing the brackets will result in a 'Could not find session' error.

    You will be able to share Genome Browser sessions with the following link format:

    http://genome.ucsc.edu/s/<userName>/<sessionName>

    For instructions on creating a saved session, go to the session user guide. If you want to specify track settings in a URL directly, please read the section on setting track visibility via URL for a complete description.

    Or if you prefer the older style, which allows you to link to different tools, you may use the following format:

    http://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgTracks?hgS_doOtherUser=submit&hgS_otherUserName=<userName>&gS_otherUserSessionName=<sessionName>

    This longer format has the flexibility of replacing "hgTracks" with different tool names to share
