These settings follow exactly the same syntax and functionality as the filter trackDb settings, except instead of items being excluded from the display, they are striped with a colored background to appear "highlighted" compared to the other items in the display. The full list of highlight trackDb settings is available on the trackDb definitions page.

Please note that at this time only one higlight color is available per track, and if multiple highlight settings are present on the same track, only items that pass ALL highlight settings will highlighted.

Feb. 24, 2025    enGenome VarChat track for human (hg38 and hg19)

We are happy to announce the release of the enGenome VarChat track for the hg38/GRCh38 and hg19/GRCh37 human assemblies, available in the Variants in Papers superTrack. VarChat is an open platform that leverages the power of generative artificial intelligence to support the genomic variant interpretation process by searching the available scientific literature for each variant and condensing it into a brief yet informative text.
