[Genome] Problem of uploading custom track

[Hiram Clawson]

Good Afternoon Koichi:

After looking at the example data set you forwarded to me, I have found
some conversion code that we could improve in the browser to handle
the larger gff file that is failing to load for you.  We will attempt to
fix this in the software in the near future.

In the meantime, after looking at your gff file, it appears that it would
be more efficient to encode your data as a simple 4-column bed file which
would require no conversion to display in the browser.

To convert your gff file to a 4-column bed file, select columns 1,4,5,2
from your gff file, e.g.:

awk '{printf "%s\t%d\t%d\t%s\n", $1, $4-1, $5, $2}' yourData.gff > yourData.bed

Then try loading that bed file. The other columns of your gff file appear to
be redundant information to these four columns.
