[Genome] Adding a "miRNA sites" track to the human genome browser?

[George Bell]

Hi UCSC Genome Bioinformatics people,

We'd like to submit data on microRNA sites to your current human genome 
browser.  We currently have this data shown as links from the 
TargetScan.org web site, for example,

http://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgTracks?db=hg18&position=chr6:135580812-135582003&hgt.customText=http://jura.wi.mit.edu/targetscan/vert_40/ucsc/NR/hg18ConsChr6.bed

and would like this same data to be available under the "Expression and 
Regulation" section of the main track list as "miRNA sites".  Is this 
possible?  You did this with a previous TargetScan-generated dataset 
that is displayed with the hg17 assembly as described here:
http://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgTrackUi?db=hg17&g=targetScanS

We also have similar data for mouse (mm8), rat (rn4) and dog (canFam2) 
and would be interested in sharing those datasets too.

If this submission is possible, let us know how to proceed.

George
