Use useOneFile on for hubs with only one genome

This page focuses on the settings found in the trackDb.txt file; however, all hubs must include a top-level hub.txt. If your hub is only displaying one genome, there is a way to put the genomes.txt and trackDb.txt all into one file. Read about the special useOneFile on setting to allow all a hub to exist in one file. Load a working example here.

Using trackDb include statements

+

+Hubs also support the use of include +statements, allowing one to insert a file containing a set of trackDb +stanzas into a primary trackDb. Use this when you have the same track across +several assemblies, or several large, complex tracks. +

Assembly Hubs

This page focuses on the settings found in the trackDb.txt file used in both Track Hubs and Assembly Hubs; however, this page does not describe the settings unique to Assembly Hubs. Track Hubs can display novel genomes, through a type of hub called an Assembly Hub. The genomes.txt file for an Assembly Hub involves many additional settings not described on this page, such as twoBitPath and defaultPos to identify the location of the sequence for the novel assembly and what default position to display. The genomes.txt file in Assembly Hubs also requires display information such as organism,
