That is #38441. As superTrack members the overlays are tracks in their own right. Each gets a full configuration page, including overlay method and negate values, and hiding one hides the whole overlay. Verified: hiding proCapNet_K562_pred removes the row and leaves the other five. Two top-level superTracks, PRO-cap and ProCapNet, rather than one transcriptionStart folder holding both. superTracks do not nest. A superTrack given a parent passes tdbQuery -check -strict and is then dropped at load, since trackDbSuperMarkup refuses to set a parent on a superTrack and hgTrackDb only writes a superTrack that some track names as its parent. Filed as #38460, with the test case; transcriptionStart.html stays in the tree unused in case it is fixed. What this costs: the subtrack matrix and the sample class filter, which a superTrack does not offer. Each overlay now carries its own wiggle settings and its own html, neither being inherited from a container any more. diff --git src/hg/makeDb/doc/hs1/transcriptionStart.txt src/hg/makeDb/doc/hs1/transcriptionStart.txt index 9e123f340bf..628bcd0c8c0 100644 --- src/hg/makeDb/doc/hs1/transcriptionStart.txt +++ src/hg/makeDb/doc/hs1/transcriptionStart.txt @@ -1,27 +1,32 @@ # Transcription start sites: ProCapNet predictions, #35528, Claude Thu Sep 17 2026 (Claude/markd) -# STATUS: the composite only partly works, and the plan is to replace it with a -# superTrack holding the multiWig overlays directly, the way fantom5 does.
