[Genome] Custom Track Issue

[Brooke Rhead]

Hello Malachi,

To remove existing custom tracks when loading from a URL, add 
"&ctfile_db=" to the URL, as described in this answer to a previously 
asked question:

http://www.cse.ucsc.edu/pipermail/genome/2006-November/012103.html

To hide all annotation tracks except for your custom tracks, use the 
"browser hide all" line in your custom track data file, as described in 
the Custom Track User's Guide, here:

http://genome.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/help/customTrack.html#BROWSER

I hope this information helps.  Please let us know if you have any 
further questions.
