Fix broken external links in trackDb HTML docs found by uiLinks cron (2026-03-23 run).

Updated 261 trackDb HTML and .ra files:
- Fixed 404s: replaced dead URLs (sequenceontology.org wiki, compgen.cshl.edu PDFs,
chori.org, PolyPhen v1, uswest.ensembl.org, RIKEN GSC) with current locations;
removed links for defunct sites (snpdata.cshl.edu, zfrhmaps, renlab encode3 download,
oia.gachon.ac.kr, phylohmm.pdf across 92 conservation track docs).
- Fixed 301s: updated http→https (encodeproject.org, flybase.org, gene-regulation.com,
drive5.com/muscle, microbesonline.org/fasttree, brain-map.org); updated moved domains
(blackwell-synergy→wiley, genome.cshlp.org path fix, sanger.ac.uk path fix);
removed hijacked domains (seqll.com, orfeomecollaboration.org, farnhamlab.com).
- Fixed 302s: updated http→https (ensembl.org, affymetrix.com, asntech.org,
cdna.eva.mpg.de, arcseqhub.com); updated moved domains (dfam.janelia.org→dfam.org,
hmmer.janelia.org→hmmer.org, immuneepitope.org→iedb.org, ensembl variation path).

No RM.

 chromosomes 6, 7, 13, 14, 19, 20, 21, 22, X, and Y, more than 74 million
 probes were tiled every 5 bp in non-repeat-masked areas 
 and hybridized to mRNA from the SK-N-AS cell line. These data
 are a preview of Phase Two of the transcriptome project, which will
 include data from seven additional cell lines when completed. While the
 coverage of the genome is much larger and the probe density greater,
 the general method is similar to the Phase One project carried out on
 chromosomes 21 and 22  (Kapranov, P. <em>et al</em>.

 The track is colored blue in areas that are thought to be
 transcribed at a statistically significant level as described in the
 accompanying <a
 href="../cgi-bin/hgTrackUi?g=affyTransfrags">Transfrags</a>
 (transcribed fragments) track. Transfrags that have a
 significant blat hit elsewhere in the genome are displayed in a lighter
 shade of blue, and transfrags that overlap putative pseudogenes are
 colored an even lighter shade of blue. All other regions of the track
 are colored brown. While the raw data are based on prefect match minus
 mismatch probe (PM - MM) values and may contain negative values, the
 track has a minimum value of 0 for visualization purposes.</P>
 
 <H2>Methods</H2>
 <P>
 For each data point, probes within 30 bp on either side were used to
 improve the estimate of expression level for a particular probe. This
 helps to smooth the data and produce a more robust estimate of the
 transcription level at a particular genomic location. The following
 analysis method was used:
 <UL>
 <LI>Replicate arrays were quantile-normalized and the median
 intensity (using both PM and MM intensities) of each array was
 scaled to a target value of 44.
 <LI>The expression level was estimated for each mapped probe position by 
   <UL>
   <LI>collecting all the probe pairs that fell within a window of &#177
   30 bp.
 
   <LI>calculating all non-redundant pairwise averages of PM - MM
   values of all probe pairs in the window.
 
   <LI>taking the median of all resulting pairwise averages.
   </UL>
 <LI>The resulting signal value is the Hodges-Lehmann estimator
 associated with the Wilcoxon signed-rank statistic of the PM - MM
 values that lie within &#177 30 bp of the sliding window centered at
 every genomic coordinate.
