[Genome] ucsc genome browser custom track problem

Hello Zhaodong,

	When I create a Custom Track with the data you have provided, I can see 
it just fine in the genome browser.  One thing that may be throwing you 
off is that the location to which you open the browser by default in 
your Custom Track is on chr16 (specified by this line of your Custom Track):

browser position chr16:10000000-12000000

However, the one gene in your sample file is located on chr6 here:

chr6:29070541-29081072

So, you will not see anything in the default position on chr16, but if 
you navigate to chr6, you should see your gene displayed there.

	Please let us know if this doesn't clear it up, or if I have missed 
your point.

Regards,
