bigBed Tracks

You can use bigBed tracks to display discrete annotations, such as genes, transcription start sites, or conserved genomic elements. The bigBed format builds off the plain-text BED format and is thus flexible in terms of what fields are included. Your file must start with a set of 12 standard fields (though not necessarily all of them), but can also extend the format with any number of additional fields.

Building a bigBed

Next, we'll discuss how to build a bigBed from a bed file.

  1. Download the bedToBigBed utility for your system type from - our download + our download server.
  2. Use bedToBigBed to build your bigBed:
    bedToBigBed -sort in.bed chrom.sizes myBigBed.bb
  3. Put your bigBed file alongside your hub.txt in a web-accessible location, either through the 10GB of space we make available to users or through one of several other services
  4. You will use the file name (e.g. "myBigBed.bb") with the bigDataUrl setting in your hub.txt

bigWig Tracks

You can use bigWig to tracks to display continuous annotations, such as RNA-seq expression, conservation scores, or other genome-wide scores. You can build a bigWig using one of two plain-text formats: wiggle or bedGraph.

Building a bigWig

Next, we'll discuss how to build a bigWig from a wig or bedGraph file.

  1. Download the wigToBigWig utility for your system type from - our download + our download server.
  2. Use this utility to build your bigWig:
    wigToBigWig in.bedGraph chrom.sizes myBigWig.bw
  3. Put your bigWig file alongside your hub.txt in a web-accessible location, either through the 10GB of space we make available to users or through one of several other services
  4. You will use the file name (e.g. "myBigWig.bw") with the bigDataUrl setting

bigWig track hub configuration

The basic trackDb configuration for a bigWig track is similar to a bigBed track as all tracks required the same basic settings (track, shortLabel, longLabel, type, bigDataUrl).
