Add tracks to Ensembl

1. Select genome assembly

This is the genome assembly that you wish to see the features on in Ensembl.

1. Select tracks

HCNE tracks

Mouse HCNEs (96%, 50 bp)
Chicken HCNEs (90%, 50 bp)
Frog HCNEs (80%, 50 bp)
Zebrafish HCNEs (70%, 50 bp)

HCNE density tracks

Mouse HCNE density (96%, 50 bp, 300 kb)
Chicken HCNE density (90%, 50 bp, 300 kb)
Frog HCNE density (80%, 50 bp, 300 kb)
Zebrafish HCNE density (70%, 50 bp, 300 kb)

Values within parentheses indicate similarity and size thresholds for HCNEs, and sliding window size for density calculations (see Methods).

Please note the following when adding tracks to Ensembl
There are currently a number of problems with the DAS support in Ensembl. You may find the following things confusing:

Tracks that you add will be visible on all genomes in Ensembl, although they are only valid for one genome assembly. It is therefore a good idea to remove tracks that you have added for one genome before adding tracks for a different genome.
Sometimes tracks do not appear. If this happens, try to click the Refresh button in Ensembl ContigView.
For density plots, y-axis limits are automatically set to the range of density values in the displayed segment. For example, if density values in a displayed segment range from 5 to 10, Ensembl ContigView will set the y-axis to span this range. The scale and range of the y-axis will therefore change as you zoom in/out and move between different locations in a genome. To get an idea of the scale, you can inspect values at different positions by clicking on density plots. (This is not a bug, but due to lack of stylesheet-support for quantitative DAS tracks in Ensembl.)

We have informed the Ensembl team about these issues.
