Loading Track Hubs and Assembly Hubs with the URL

How do I create a link to my track hub or assembly hub?

Similar to custom tracks, track hubs can be loaded into the URL using the hubUrl= parameter. This parameter takes input similar to the track hub input box. The following example links to the hg19 genome database and an example track Hub:

http://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgTracks?db=hg19&hubUrl=https://genome.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/help/examples/hubDirectory/hub.txt

Track hubs' track visibility can also be changed from the URL parameters. The following link specifies the genome database (db=hg19), loads a track hub (hubUrl=http.../hub.txt), hides all tracks (hideTracks=1), hides the subtrack kids of a particular track (gtexRnaSignalMaleYoung_hideKids=1), sets a specific subtrack to be displayed (gtexRnaSignalSRR1311243=full), and ignores user settings (ignoreCookie=1).

To link to an assembly hub and display data on a non-natively supported genome, the same parameters apply. To specify the intended genome assembly, instead of using db=, you must use genome=araTha1, where araTha1 is the assembly name set by your genomes.txt file in the line genome araTha1.

To see the files behind that assembly hub, please visit the hub's directory. For more information on assembly hubs in general, please see the assembly hub user guide, the track hub user guide, or the quick start guide to assembly hubs. @@ -430,35 +430,35 @@ Simply load the track hub on the Genome Browser, and the assembly hub will automatically appear. For example, the following example track hub will load an additional track for the pig (GCA_002844635.1) GenArk assembly.

To create a link to the track hub that references a GenArk assembly, the genome=GCA_002844635.1 and hubUrl= URL parameters can be used like in the following example:

 https://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgTracks?genome=GCA_002844635.1&hubUrl=https://genome.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/help/examples/hubExamples/hubGenArkExample/genArkTrackHub/hub.txt

Linking to gene-specific information

How do I link to a specific gene or specific gene description page?

To jump directly to a gene's position on the Genome Browser, set the position parameter in the URL to a gene symbol (e.g., TP53, MTOR, KRAS) and add the parameter singleSearch=knownCanonical. For example, the following link will open the Genome Browser for the hg19 human assembly at the position of TP53 on the knownCanonical dataset
