This container track helps call out sections of the genome that often cause problems or confusion when working with the genome. There are three subtracks for now, Anshul Kundaje's ENCODE Blacklist, GRC (Genome Reference Consortium) Exclusions, and the UCSC Unusual Regions track. </p> <p> We are interested in adding to the Problematic Regions container, so if you know of any annotations of hg38 that highlight regions where artifactual alignments are common, regions that are hard to sequence, please let us know. In addition to these problematic regions tracks, we also have <a href="/cgi-bin/hgTrackUi?db=hg38&position=default&g=grcIncidentDb">GRC Incidents</a> and the
