[Genome] Drosophila Affymetrix timecourse track ?

[sandmann@embl.de]

Dear UCSC brower team !

Recently, a large microarray study profiling the expression of transcripts in
Drosophila melanogaster has been performed using whole-genome tiling arrays.
In their publication in nature genetics, the authors (Manak et al, Biological
function of unannotated transcription during the early development of
Drosophila melanogaster, Nature Genetics - 38, 1151 - 1158 (2006))mention that
"all RNA graphs representing data described in this manuscript [...] will be
made available through the UCSC (http://genome.ucsc.edu)." Therefore I was
wondering if you were planning to integrate this large dataset into the genome
browser. (I have tried to import the data into our local installation of the
browser as a .wig annotation file, but failed - most likely due to its enormous
size (400 Mb.) The data is available for public download on a website hosted by
Affymetrix.)

Thanks,
Thomas Sandmann
