Specify a relative path or URL link to a webpage (e.g. a paper) describing the hub. For public hubs, this can be used to highlight key words to make searching easier and direct users to your hub.
Example:
descriptionUrl castorBeanHubDescription.html
email <email address>Provides users with a contact point for questions related to the hub.
Example:
email contactEmail@institution.edu
genome <str>For hubs on native assemblies, use the UCSC database name (e.g. hg38).
+For hubs on native assemblies, use the UCSC database name (e.g. hg38). + Genome assemblies in our GenArk Archive can be referenced using their + GCA_NNN or GCA_NNN identifier (e.g. GCF_000891275.1).
For custom assemblies, create your own name. This will appear on title pages in the Genome Browser.
Example:
genome ricCom1
genomesFile <url/relativePath>References the next definition file in this hub that will describe the assemblies and tracks available at this hub. Typically, genomes.txt is at the same directory level as this hub.txt; however, it can also be a relative path reference to a different directory level.
Not needed if using useOneFile (recommended).
Example:
genomesFile genomes.txt
