   Pick your assembly in the panel that opens, then click <strong>UCSC</strong>.</li>

 <p>
 The Browser opens with every experiment in your filtered result set loaded as a track hub, so
 this works just as well for one experiment as for fifty. Restrict the search before you
 visualize, since a broad filter can attach a very large number of tracks at once.</p>
 <p>
 ENCODE also publishes a hub for each individual experiment, which is handy if you are scripting
 or want to keep a link in a session. Substitute the accession into this URL:</p>
 <pre>https://www.encodeproject.org/experiments/ENCSR000AKO/@@hub/hub.txt</pre>
 <p>
 and load it from the <a href="../cgi-bin/hgHubConnect#unlistedHubs">My Hubs</a> tab of the Track
 Hubs page, or by appending it to a browser URL as
 <code>hgTracks?db=hg38&amp;hubUrl=</code> followed by the hub address.</p>

 <p>
 If you would rather place a single file yourself, note that ENCODE distributes peaks as bigBed
 and signal as bigWig, both of which the Browser reads directly. Copy the file URL from the portal;
 you do not
 need to download the file. Then paste one custom track line at
 <a href="../cgi-bin/hgCustom">Add Custom Tracks</a>:</p>
 <pre>track type=bigBed name="CTCF K562 peaks" bigDataUrl=https://www.encodeproject.org/files/ENCFF002CEL/@@download/ENCFF002CEL.bigBed</pre>

 <h2>Promoters, enhancers and other elements</h2>
 
 <h6>Which tracks show promoters?</h6>
 <p>
 It depends on what you mean by a promoter, and the tracks disagree enough that it matters.</p>
 <ul>
   <li>
   <strong>EPDnew Promoters</strong> has experimentally defined promoters, each with a single,
   precisely mapped transcription start site. Use it when you need a defined, citable promoter
   region and not an approximation. On hg38 there is a companion
   set for non-coding RNA promoters.
