[Genome] genomic location mapping to track info

[Karginov, Fedor]

Dear Genome Browser folks,

 

I have a technical question about track table files and how they map to
genomic locations.

 

We are gathering annotation information for a given genomic location by
comparing this location to the genomic location ranges for each line in
a track table, and reading out the associated info for that item.  In a
given track table file, would a particular genomic location fall within
only one (or zero) of the ranges listed in the table?  In other words,
can a particular genomic location map to two (or more) lines in the same
track table?  It seems logical that it would not, but I just wanted to
confirm.

 

Thanks,

Ted
