This utility creates multibed/index files containing the coordinates where the tracks intersect, expediting data lookup. There are two instances in which these files are helpful or required:</p> <ul> <li><b>(helpful)</b> In large composites (dozens or hundreds of tracks), especially when subtrack data are sparse, the index files will provide a substantial performance improvement.</li> <li><b>(required)</b> For building track associations. An example of this is when it is desired to display peak and signal tracks together. Because <code>hideEmptySubtracks</code> works only on bigBed tracks (peaks), associated tracks (such as bigWig signals) can be designated to be displayed alongside the bigBeds with data.</li> </ul> <p> To build the index files, first download the <code>trackDbIndexBb</code> utility.

Additionally, <code>trackDbIndexBb</code> can be passed the <code>- h</code> flag to display a more verbose help message.</p> <pre> ./trackDbIndexBb ./trackDbIndexBb -h </pre> <p> Below is a short description of the parameters:</p> <ul> <li><b>trackName</b> | The name of the composite containing the bigBed tracks to be indexed. Higher-level composite names may be used to build track associations. This means that all tracks in the hierarchy <em>below</em> trackName will be searched for indexing and associations.</li> <li><b>raFile</b> | The location of the trackDb.ra file containing the bigDataUrls of the bigBeds to be indexed.</li> <li><b>chromSizes</b> | Location of the chrom.sizes file. This file contains the names and sizes of the chromosomes for the working assembly. This can be generated from the 2bit genome, downloaded from the respective assembly on our <a target="_blank" -href="http://hgdownload.soe.ucsc.edu/downloads.html">download server</a>, or fetched using the +href="http://hgdownload.gi.ucsc.edu/downloads.html">download server</a>, or fetched using the <code>fetchChromSizes</code> utility found in the same directory as <code>trackDbIndexBb</code>. </li> <li><b>-o --out</b> | (Optional) Path to the output directory where the resulting files will be placed. Defaults to current directory.</li> <li><b>-p --pathTools</b> | (Optional) Location where the dependent programs can be found. Will automatically check current directory and user's path. <code>trackDbIndexBb</code> has three dependencies listed above. Note that bedtools must be downloaded from an external group.</li> <li><b>-n --noDelete</b> | (Optional) Keep intermediary multiBed file.</li> <li><b>-m --metaDataVar</b> | (Optional) Used only when building track associations. The variable designated here will be a trackDb variable which can be used to associate tracks. Default value is <em>subGroups</em>, though <em>metaData</em> is also commonly used. See example below for more information.</li> <li><b>-s --subGroupRemove</b> | (Optional) Used only when building track associations. In conjunction with <b>--metaDataVar</b>, this variable is used to build track associations. The
