 <h2>Creating a bigGenePred track from a bed12+8 file</h2>
 <p>
 <strong>Step 1.</strong> 
 Format your pre-bigGenePred file. The first 12 fields of pre-bigGenePred files are described by the
 <a href="../../FAQ/FAQformat.html#format1">BED file format</a>. Your file must
 also contain the 8 extra fields described in the autoSql file definition 
 shown above: <code>name2, cdsStartStat, cdsEndStat, exonFrames, type, geneName, geneName2, 
 geneType</code>. For example, you can use this bed12+8 input file, 
 <a href="examples/bigGenePred.txt">bigGenePred.txt</a>. Your pre-bigGenePred file must be sorted 
 first on the <code>chrom</code> field, and secondarily on the <code>chromStart</code> field. You
 can use the UNIX <code>sort</code> command to do this:</p> 
 <pre><code>sort -k1,1 -k2,2n unsorted.bed &gt; input.bed</code></pre>
 <p>
 <strong>Step 2.</strong> 
 Download the <code>bedToBigBed</code> program from the 
-<a href="http://hgdownload.soe.ucsc.edu/admin/exe/">binary utilities directory</a>.</p>
+<a href="http://hgdownload.gi.ucsc.edu/admin/exe/">binary utilities directory</a>.</p>

 database is located at

 Alternatively, you can use the <code>fetchChromSizes</code> script from the

 <strong>Step 4.</strong> 
 Create the bigGenePred file from your pre-bigGenePred file using the <code>bedToBigBed</code> 
 utility command:</p> 
 <pre><code><strong>bedToBigBed</strong> -as=bigGenePred.as -type=bed12+8 bigGenePred.txt chrom.sizes myBigGenePred.bb</code></pre>
 <p>
 <strong>Step 5.</strong> 
 Move the newly created bigGenePred file (<em>myBigGenePred.bb</em>) to a web-accessible http, https,
 or ftp location. See <a href="hgTrackHubHelp.html#Hosting">hosting section</a> if necessary.</p>
 <p>
 <strong>Step 6.</strong> 
 Construct a <a href="hgTracksHelp.html#CustomTracks">custom track</a> using a single 
 <a href="hgTracksHelp.html#TRACK">track line</a>. Any of the track attributes will be
 available for use on bigBed tracks. The basic version of the track line will look something

   Run the <code>bedToBigBed</code> utility to create the bigGenePred output file (<em>step 4</em>,

   <li> 
   Place the newly created bigGenePred file (<em>bigGenePred.bb</em>) on a web-accessible server 
   (<em>Step 5</em>, above).</li>
   <li> 
   Construct a track line that points to the bigGenePred file (<em>Step 6</em>, above).</li>

 <h3>Example &num;4: GTF (or GFF) to BigGenePred </h3>
 <p>In this example, you will convert a GTF file to bigGenePred using command line utilities.
 You will need <code>gtfToGenePred</code>, <code>genePredTobigGenePred</code>,
 and <code>bedToBigBed</code>. If you would like to convert a GFF file to bigGenePred, you will use
 <code>gff3ToGenePred</code> in place of the <code>gtfToGenePred</code>. You can download utilities from the

   <li>
   Obtain a GTF file using the <code>wget</code> command. Skip this step if you already have a GTF
   or GFF file.
   <pre><code>wget http://genome.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/help/examples/bigGenePredExample4.gtf</code></pre></li>
   <li>
   Convert the GTF file to genePred extended format using the <code>gtfToGenePred</code> command.
   <pre><code>gtfToGenePred -genePredExt bigGenePredExample4.gtf example4.genePred</code></pre>
   If you are converting a GFF file, use the <code>gff3ToGenePred</code> command.
   <pre><code>gff3ToGenePred yourFile.gff example4.genePred </pre></code></li>
   <li>
   Convert the genePred extended file to a pre-bigGenePred text file.
   <pre><code>genePredToBigGenePred example4.genePred bigGenePredEx4.txt</code></pre></li>
   <li>
   Download a helper file that specifies column names.

   <li>
   Convert your text bigGenePred to a binary indexed format. If you are not using hg38,
   you will need to replace the hg38.chrom.sizes file path with your organism's file path from the

 <h2>Extracting data from bigBed format</h2>
 <p>
 Because the bigGenePred files are an extension of bigBed files, which are indexed binary files, it 
 can be difficult to extract data from them. UCSC has developed the following programs to
 assist in working with bigBed formats, available from the 
-<a href="http://hgdownload.soe.ucsc.edu/admin/exe/">binary utilities directory</a>.</p>
+<a href="http://hgdownload.gi.ucsc.edu/admin/exe/">binary utilities directory</a>.</p>
 <ul>
   <li>
   <code>bigBedToBed</code> &mdash; converts a bigBed file to ASCII BED format.</li>
   <li>
   <code>bigBedSummary</code> &mdash; extracts summary information from a bigBed 
   file.</li>
   <li>
   <code>bigBedInfo</code> &mdash; prints out information about a bigBed file.</li>
 </ul>
 <p>
 As with all UCSC Genome Browser programs, simply type the program name (with no parameters) at the 
 command line to view the usage statement.</p>
 
 <h2>Troubleshooting</h2>
 <p>
 If you encounter an error when you run the <code>bedToBigBed</code> program, check your input 
 file for data coordinates that extend past the end of the chromosome. If these are 
 present, run the <code>bedClip</code> program
