If you're new here, the tutorials below are the fastest way to get started. ## Tutorials | Tutorial | Description | | - | - | | [Genome Browser Basics](/docs/tutorials/gb101.html) | Learn the basics of the Genome Browser interface | | [Gateway Page](/docs/tutorials/gatewayTutorial.html) | Find and switch between genome assemblies | | [Table Browser](/docs/tutorials/tableBrowserTutorial.html) | Query and download Genome Browser data | | [Custom Tracks](/docs/tutorials/customTrackTutorial.html) | Display your own annotations in the Genome Browser | Take a look at our [training slides](/docs/browserSlideDecks.html) for more walk-throughs of Genome Browser features, including cancer data and variant analysis. Prefer video? Our [training page](/training/index.html) has short how-to videos on common tasks like saving sessions, using BLAT and isPCR, and finding SNPs in a gene. Looking up a term you don't recognize? Check our [glossary](/docs/genomeBrowserGlossary.html). ## Visualize your own data Display your own annotations alongside the data we host: - [Custom tracks](/cgi-bin/hgCustom) — the simpler option for displaying your own annotations. See our [documentation](/goldenPath/help/customTrack.html) to learn how to load your own. - [Track hubs](/cgi-bin/hgHubConnect#unlistedHubs) — more powerful and configurable, ideal for many tracks or for sharing data publicly. Start with our [Hub Basics](/docs/hubs/hubBasics.html) page, and validate your hub with our [hub development tools](/cgi-bin/hgHubConnect#hubDeveloper). + For hubs with thousands of subtracks, our + [Faceted Composite Tracks](/docs/hubs/facetedComposite.html) page covers a + filterable alternative to the standard composite interface. For both hubs and custom tracks, we provide storage through [hub space](/cgi-bin/hgHubConnect#hubUpload). ## Share your work Once you've configured a view, share it with collaborators or publish it broadly: - [Links](/FAQ/FAQlink.html) — share a snapshot of your current view as a URL. - [Sessions](/cgi-bin/hgSession) — save and share full Genome Browser configurations. - [Public hubs](/cgi-bin/hgHubConnect#publicHubs) — to contribute your own, see our [guidelines](/goldenPath/help/publicHubGuidelines.html). - [Contributed tracks](/docs/hubs/contributedTracks.html) — submit annotations on [GenArk](https://hgdownload.gi.ucsc.edu/hubs/) assemblies. ## Download data Access our underlying data outside the browser: - The [download server](https://hgdownload.gi.ucsc.edu/downloads.html) provides the data underlying the Genome Browser, plus pairwise alignments and LiftOver chain files. - Our [REST API](/goldenPath/help/api.html) returns data in JSON format. - [Command-line tools](https://hgdownload.gi.ucsc.edu/downloads.html#utilities_downloads) for working with bigBed, bigWig, and other formats, plus standalone versions of `liftOver`, `blat`, and others. ## Get help - [Contact us](/contacts.html) — email, mailing lists, and other support channels. - [FAQ](/FAQ/) — common questions, including [data file formats](/FAQ/FAQformat.html). - Want a hands-on workshop at your institution? [Get in touch](/contacts.html) about hosting one, in-person or virtual. - Found a bug or have an idea? [Submit a suggestion](/cgi-bin/hgUserSuggestion).
