While we strive to maintain uninterrupted +access, please maintain your own backups. Data persistence over the long term is not +guaranteed. To request additional storage space, please +<a href="/contacts.html">contact us</a>. +</p> + +<p> +<b>How to Use Hub Space:</b><br> +There are two primary ways to upload your files: +</p> + +<ol> + <li> + <b>Single file upload:</b> Upload individual binary-indexed files (bigBed, bigWig, BAM, VCF, + and other supported formats) for immediate visualization. + </li> + <li> + <b>Complete hub upload:</b> Upload an entire track hub along with all supporting files + (hub.txt, bigWig, bigBed, etc.) to visualize the hub. + </li> +</ol> + +<p> +If a hub.txt file is not provided when uploading data files, one is automatically generated. +The generated hub.txt file is configured with the +<a href="/goldenPath/help/trackDb/trackDbHub.html#useOneFile">useOneFile</a> trackDb setting, and +as a result, each hub is limited to a single genome assembly. Editing the generated hub.txt file is +not yet supported. To customize the hub configuration or data display, replace the generated hub.txt +file with your own version after uploading the data files. +</p> + +<p> +To get started with Hub Space, visit the +<a href="/cgi-bin/hgHubConnect#hubUpload">Track Data Hubs page</a> and +click on the "Hub Space" section. We would love to hear your feedback on this new feature. +Please <a href="/contacts.html">contact us</a> and let us know what you think! +</p> +--> <a name="120325"></a> <h2>Dec. 03, 2025 New gnomAD Missense Deleteriousness Prediction by Constraint (MPC) track for hg19</h2> <p> We are happy to announce the release of the <a href="/cgi-bin/hgTrackUi?db=hg19&position=default&g=gnomadMpc" target="_blank">Missense Deleteriousness Prediction by Constraint (MPC) track</a> for hg19, now available in the <a href="/cgi-bin/hgTrackUi?db=hg19&position=default&g=gnomadSuper" target="_blank">gnomAD superTrack</a>. This track shows a score that tries to identify missense-depleted regions using the patterns of rare missense variation in 125,748 gnomAD v2.1.1 exomes, compared to a null mutational model. Missense-depleted regions are enriched for ClinVar pathogenic variants, de novo missense variants in individuals with neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs), and complex trait heritability. This track can be used to aid in interpreting missense variants.</p> <p>
