[Genome] bac end mapping on zebrafish genome

[Archana Thakkapallayil]

Hello Elwood,

More information on generating the BAC End mapping is contained in the 
description page here:
http://www.genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgTrackUi?db=danRer4&g=bacEndPairs

This page for the BAC End Pairs track has some of the criteria that we 
use for a pair of ends to be included in the track. The description page 
can be found by clicking on the blue or gray bar at the left side of the 
track in the Browser display or by clicking on the link above the track 
control for that track.

I hope this information is helpful to you. If, after reading this, you 
still have questions for us, please don't hesitate to contact us again.

Regards,

Archana
