Table 1.

List of new trackDb settings added to the Hub Track Database Definition document (https://genome.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/help/trackDb/trackDbHub.html) over the last year

Setting name Description
otherTwoBitUrl For in pairwise alignment tracks (chain, PSL), used to specify location of query sequence.
logo Enables the dynseq display feature on wiggle tracks.
speciesLabels Allows one to specify new labels that map to sequence names in bigMaf tracks.
hicDistanceMax Controls the maximum interaction distance in nucleotides for the heatmap in Hi-C tracks.
hicDistanceMin Controls the minimum interaction distance in nucleotides for the heatmap in Hi-C tracks.
barChartFacets Enables the facets feature in bigBarChart track description and item details pages.
barChartStatsUrl Associates a table in tab-separated-values with the bigBarChart track, with one line per bar. Currently used in coordination with the barChartsFacets tag to specify metadata such as cell types or tissue of origin.
barChartBarMinPadding Sets the minimum pixel width between bars for bigBarChart tracks.
barChartBarMinWidth Sets the minimum pixel width of the bars in bigBarChart tracks.
barChartStretchToItem Extends the barCharts to cover the entire horizontal space available in the graph. Useful for bigBarChart tracks with many bars.
pslSequence Specifies display configuration options for PSL tracks that also have sequence loaded.
showCdsAllScales Shows CDS for PSL tracks at all zoom levels.
showCdsMaxZoom Specifies (bases/pixel) the maximum zoom-out allowed for displaying the CDS for PSL tracks.
showDiffBasesMaxZoom Shows annotations highlighting base or codon differences only if current zoom level does not exceed value (bases/pixel) in PSL tracks.
