-<h2>Description</h2>
-
-<p> This track collection shows <a href="https://cadd.gs.washington.edu/"
-target="_blank">Combined Annotation Dependent Depletion</a> scores.
-CADD is a tool for scoring the deleteriousness of single nucleotide variants as
-well as insertion/deletions variants in the human genome.</p>
-
-<p>
-Some mutation annotations
-tend to exploit a single information type (e.g. phastCons or phylP for
-conservation) and/or are restricted in scope (e.g. to missense changes). Thus,
-a broadly applicable metric that objectively weights and integrates diverse
-information is needed.  Combined Annotation Dependent Depletion (CADD) is a
-framework that integrates multiple annotations into one metric by contrasting
-variants that survived natural selection with simulated mutations.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-CADD scores strongly correlate with allelic diversity, pathogenicity of both
-coding and non-coding variants, and experimentally measured regulatory effects,
-and also highly rank causal variants within individual genome sequences.
-Finally, CADD scores of complex trait-associated variants from genome-wide
-association studies (GWAS) are significantly higher than matched controls and
-correlate with study sample size, likely reflecting the increased accuracy of
-larger GWAS.
-</p>
-
-<h2>Display Conventions and Configuration</h2>
-<p>
-There are six subtracks of this track: four for every possible single nucleotide mutation, 
-one for insertions and one for deletions. All subtracks show the CADD Phred
-score on mouse over.<p>
-
-<p>
-<b>Single nucleotide variants (SNV):</b> For SNVs, at every
-genome position, there are three values per position, one for every possible
-nucleotide mutation. The fourth value, "no mutation", e.g. A to A, is always
-set to zero.<br>
-When using this track, please zoom in until you can see every basepair at the
-top of the display. Otherwise, there are several nucleotides under your mouse
-cursor per pixel and instead of an actual score, the tooltip text can only show
-the average score of all nucleotides under the cursor, which is indicated by
-the prefix "~" in the mouse over and averages of scores are not useful for any
-application of CADD.
-</p>
-
-<p><b>Insertions and deletions:</b>: Scores are also shown on mouse over for a
-set of insertions and deletions. On hg38, the set has been obtained from
-Gnomad3. On hg19, the set of indels has been obtained from various sources
-(gnomAD2, ExAC, 1000 Genomes, ESP). If your insertion or deleletion of interest
-is not in the track, you will need to use CADD's
-<a target=_blank href="https://cadd.gs.washington.edu/score">Online scoring tool</a>
-to obtain them.</p>

-<H2>Data access</H2>
-<p>
-CADD scores are freely available for all non-commercial applications from <a target=_blank href="https://cadd.gs.washington.edu/download">the CADD website</a>. For commercial applications, see <a target=_blank href="https://cadd.gs.washington.edu/contact">the license instructions</a> there.

-
-<p>
-The CADD data on the UCSC Genome Browser can be explored interactively with the
-<a href="../cgi-bin/hgTables">Table Browser</a> or the <a
-href="../cgi-bin/hgIntegrator">Data Integrator</a>.
-For automated download and analysis, the genome annotation is stored at UCSC in bigWig and bigBed files that
-can be downloaded from
-<a href="http://hgdownload.soe.ucsc.edu/gbdb/$db/cadd/" target="_blank">our download server</a>.
-The files for this track are called <tt>a.bw, c.bw, g.bw, t.bw, ins.bb and del.bb</tt>. Individual
-regions or the whole genome annotation can be obtained using our tool <tt>bigWigToWig</tt>
-or <tt>bigBedToBed</tt> which can be compiled from the source code or downloaded as a precompiled
-binary for your system. Instructions for downloading source code and binaries can be found
-<a href="http://hgdownload.soe.ucsc.edu/downloads.html#utilities_downloads">here</a>.
-The tools
-can also be used to obtain only features within a given range, e.g. <br>
-<tt>bigWigToBedGraph -chrom=chr1 -start=100000 -end=100500 http://hgdownload.soe.ucsc.edu/gbdb/$db/cadd/a.bw stdout</tt><br>
-or<br>
-<tt>bigBedToBed -chrom=chr1 -start=100000 -end=100500 http://hgdownload.soe.ucsc.edu/gbdb/$db/cadd/ins.bb stdout</tt></p>
