DANIO-CODE as native danRer11 tracks, alpha only.

Converts the DANIO-CODE consortium's public track hub for danRer11 into a
native trackDb: 897 stanzas under one superTrack, with 11 containers for
RNA-seq, CAGE-seq, ChIP-seq, 3P-seq, Hi-C, regulatory elements, cell types,
COPEs/DOPEs, validated enhancers, conservation and consensus promoters.

The 879 data files, 69 GB, are mirrored under /gbdb/danRer11/danioCode and are
byte-identical to the consortium's copies. Four cell-type subtracks are left
out because their files 404 on the consortium's server.

+<h2>Description</h2>
+
+<p>
+A promoter is the region at which transcription of a gene begins. In vertebrates a
+promoter rarely uses a single start base; it fires from a cluster of neighboring
+positions, and which position dominates can change between developmental stages. CAGE
+sequences the first bases of capped RNAs and therefore measures these start positions
+directly.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+This track shows 28,142 consensus promoters, called by combining the CAGE tag clusters
+of all DANIO-CODE samples into one set that is not tied to a single stage. It is
+intended as a stage-independent reference set of promoter positions. The per-sample tag
+clusters that go into it are in the <a href="hgTrackUi?g=dcCAGEseqComposite">DC
+CAGE-seq</a> track.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+This track is part of the <a href="hgTrackUi?g=danioCode">DANIO-CODE</a> collection.
+</p>
+
+<h2>Display Conventions and Configuration</h2>
+
+<p>
+Promoters are drawn as blocks. The score reflects the CAGE expression supporting the
+promoter.
+</p>
+
+<h2>Methods</h2>
+
+<p>
+The DANIO-CODE consortium assembled 1,802 zebrafish developmental genomics datasets,
+1,438 of them already published and 366 generated by consortium members, and
+reprocessed all of them from the raw sequencing reads so that samples from different
+laboratories and different protocols can be compared with each other. ChIP-seq and
+ATAC-seq were run through the ENCODE pipelines, CAGE-seq through the FANTOM pipeline,
+and Hi-C and 4C-seq through the pipelines of the groups that produced them. The
+pipelines are published at
+<a href="https://gitlab.com/danio-code" target="_blank">gitlab.com/danio-code</a>, and
+samples were assigned to developmental stages using ZFIN and ENCODE nomenclature. See
+Baranasic <em>et al</em>. 2022 for details.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+CAGE libraries from all developmental stages were processed with the FANTOM pipeline,
+tag clusters were called per sample, and the clusters were combined across samples into
+a consensus set.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+At UCSC the tracks were converted from the consortium's public track hub at
+<a href="https://trackhub2.genereg.net/DANIO-CODE/DANIO-CODE.hub.txt" target="_blank">
+trackhub2.genereg.net/DANIO-CODE</a> with the script
+<a href="https://github.com/ucscGenomeBrowser/kent/tree/master/src/hg/makeDb/scripts/danioCode"
+target="_blank">danioCodeHubToRa.py</a>, and the data files were copied from the same
+server. The data themselves were not modified. The steps are documented in
+<a href="https://github.com/ucscGenomeBrowser/kent/blob/master/src/hg/makeDb/doc/danRer11/danioCode.txt"
+target="_blank">our makeDoc</a>.
+</p>
+
+<h2>Data Access</h2>
+
+<p>
+The data can be explored interactively in table format with the
+<a href="../cgi-bin/hgTables">Table Browser</a> or the
+<a href="../cgi-bin/hgIntegrator">Data Integrator</a> and exported from there to
+spreadsheet or tab-separated tables. From scripts, the data can be accessed through
+our <a href="https://api.genome.ucsc.edu">API</a>, track=<i>dcConsensus_promoters</i>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+For automated download and analysis, the annotations are stored in bigBed files that
+can be downloaded from
+<a href="http://hgdownload.soe.ucsc.edu/gbdb/danRer11/danioCode/" target="_blank">our
+download server</a>. The file is <tt>consens.canonical.danRer11.bigBed</tt>. Individual regions or the whole genome annotation can be
+obtained using our tool <tt>bigBedToBed</tt>, which can be compiled from the source code
+or downloaded as a precompiled binary for your system. Instructions for downloading
+source code and binaries can be found
+<a href="http://hgdownload.soe.ucsc.edu/downloads.html#utilities_downloads">here</a>.
+The tool can also be used to obtain features within a given range, for example
