GenArk hubs will automatically attach themselves if the track hub mentions the GCA_ or GCF_ name identifier of the assembly hub. Simply load the track hub on the Genome Browser, and the assembly hub will automatically appear. For example, the following <a href="https://genome-test.gi.ucsc.edu/~jairo/trackHubs/genArkTrackHub/hub.txt" target="_blank">example track hub</a> will load an additional track for the pig (GCA_002844635.1) GenArk assembly. </p> <p> To create a link to the track hub that references a GenArk assembly, the <code>genome=GCA_002844635.1</code> and <code>hubUrl=</code> URL parameters can be used like in the following example: </p> <pre> <a href="/cgi-bin/hgTracks?genome=GCA_002844635.1&hubUrl=https://genome-test.gi.ucsc.edu/~jairo/trackHubs/genArkTrackHub/hub.txt" target="_blank">https://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgTracks?genome=GCA_002844635.1&hubUrl=https://genome-test.gi.ucsc.edu/~jairo/trackHubs/genArkTrackHub/hub.txt</a> </pre> +<p> +You can also read a blog post, +<a href="https://genome-blog.soe.ucsc.edu/blog/2021/08/13/sharing-data-with-sessions-and-urls" +target="_blank">Sharing Data with Sessions and URLs</a> about how to +<a href="https://genome-blog.soe.ucsc.edu/blog/2021/08/13/sharing-data-with-sessions-and-urls/#assemblyHubs" +target="_blank">build URLS to track hubs on assembly hubs</a> or see further examples of +<a href="https://genome-blog.soe.ucsc.edu/blog/2021/08/13/sharing-data-with-sessions-and-urls/#GenArk" +target="_blank">GenArk hubs</a> loaded with custom data.</p> <a name="genes"></a> <a name="link3"></a> <h2>Linking to gene-specific information</h2> <h6>How do I link to a specific gene or specific gene description page?</h6> <p> To jump directly to a gene's position on the Genome Browser, set the position parameter in the URL to a gene symbol (e.g., TP53, MTOR, KRAS) and add the parameter <code>singleSearch=knownCanonical</code>.
