Creating a bigRmsk track

To create a bigRmsk track, and its supporting files, follow the below steps. This assumes that you have already run RepeatMasker and have a *.out, and optionally *.align file.

RepeatMasker output files are convert to the bigRmsk textual form using the - RepeatMasker/util/rmToTrackHub.pl program that is part of the RepeatMasker distribution. + RepeatMasker/util/rmToTrackHub.pl program that is part of the + RepeatMasker 4.1.3 or newer distribution.

- NOTE: The current version of RepeatMasker (4.1.2-p1) does not contain the - rmToTrackHub.pl program. Until it is available in, obtain a copy - from the RepeatMasker GitHub development branch: -

-
-      
-      git clone -b development git@github.com:rmhubley/RepeatMasker.git
-      
-    
- -

Step 1. If you wish to experiment with quickly building an example track, download the example RepeatMasker output files for the human GRCh38 (hg38) assembly bigRmskExample.out and bigRmskExample.align used in this tutorial:

     
       wget https://genome.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/help/examples/bigRmskExample.out
       wget https://genome.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/help/examples/bigRmskExample.align
     
   

Otherwise, substitute your *.out and *.align in theses instructions. Generating the alignment bigRmsk file is optional if you don't have the *.align
