 <h2>Creating a bigWig track</h2>
 <p>
 To create a bigWig track from a wiggle file, follow these steps:<p>
 <strong>Step 1.</strong> 
 Create a wig format file following the directions <a href="wiggle.html">here</a>. When converting a 
 wig file to a bigWig file, you are limited to one track of data in your input file; therefore,
 you must create a separate wig file for each data track. 
 <p>
 <strong>Step 2.</strong> 
 Remove any existing &quot;track&quot; or &quot;browser&quot; lines from your wig file so that it 
 contains only data.</p>
 <p> 
 <strong>Step 3.</strong> 
 Download the <code>wigToBigWig</code> program from the 
-<a href="http://hgdownload.soe.ucsc.edu/admin/exe/">binary utilities directory</a>.</p>

 If the assembly <code>genNom</code> is hosted by UCSC, chrom.sizes can be a URL like:

+<code>http://hgdownload.gi.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/genNom/bigZips/genNom.chrom.sizes</code></p> 
 <p> 
 <strong>Step 5.</strong> 
 Use the <code>wigToBigWig</code> utility to create the bigWig file from your wig file:</p> 
 <pre><code><strong>wigToBigWig</strong> input.wig chrom.sizes myBigWig.bw</code></pre>
 <p>
 Note that the wigToBigWig program also accepts gzipped wig input files.</p> 
 <p> 
 <strong>Step 6.</strong> 
 Move the newly created bigWig file (<em>myBigWig.bw</em>) to a web-accessible http, https, or ftp
 location.</p>
 <p> 
 <strong>Step 7.</strong> 
 If the file name ends with a <em>.bigWig</em> or <em>.bw</em> suffix, you can paste the URL directly
 into the <a href="../../cgi-bin/hgCustom">custom track management page</a>, click 
 &quot;submit&quot; and view the file as a track in the Genome Browser. By default, the file name

 <h2>Extracting data from the bigWig format</h2>

 Because bigWig files are indexed binary files, it can be difficult to extract data from them. 
 UCSC has developed the following programs to assist in working with these files, available from
