Track hubs are web-accessible directories of genomic data that can be viewed on the UCSC Genome Browser alongside native annotation tracks. Hubs are a useful tool for visualizing a large number of genome-wide data sets. 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.
For information on using the Track Hub features, refer to the Genome Browser Track Hub User Guide. For specific information on configuring your trackDb.txt file, refer to the Track Database Definition Document. See also the -Basic Hub Quick Start Guide and +Basic Hub Quick Start Guide, Quick Start Guide to Organizing Track Hubs into -Groupings.
+Groupings, Quick Start Guide to Assembly Hubs and Quick Start Guide to Searchable Track Hubs.Historically, a hub needed a set of text files to specify properties for a track hub and each of the data tracks within the hub. The track hub settings were stored in a three file structure: hub.txt, genomes.txt, and trackDb.txt
myHub/ - directory containing track hub files * hub.txt - a short description of hub properties * genomes.txt - list of genome assemblies included in the hub data * hg19/ - directory of data for the hg19 (GRCh37) human assembly ** trackDb.txt - display properties for tracks in this directory
