Please note the arguments you can use in a track line for a type=wiggle_0 format file: http://genome.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/help/wiggle.html The arguments useScore, scoreMin, scoreMax have no meaning with a wiggle track. A wiggle track does not display items in a gray-scale fashion, it draws a graph of the data values. --Hiram ----- Original Message ----- From: "Liz Ashley" <lizzilou@hotmail.com> To: wongxr@gmail.com Cc: galaxy-user@lists.bx.psu.edu Sent: Friday, May 11, 2012 6:05:14 AM Subject: Re: [galaxy-user] Displaying bed files in ucsc In the title information you need to include UseScore information including the range you want to cover with your histogram. There is a section in the UCSC website that explains the content: http://genome.ucsc.edu/FAQ/FAQformat.html#format1 For stating the range of your histogram: scoreMin=X scoreMax=X. This will mean that the greyscale shading uses the two X values as the value for white and black, all other points will be an even range like the example on the UCSC browser page. When I was doing this the information I used was wiggle format: track type = wiggle_0 name="name of track" description="description" useScore=1 scoreMin=0 scoreMax=6.

I tried to view it in ucsc main but it showed only where the fragments are(based on the start and end coordinates) with numerical scores beside each fragment. How do I view the file as a histogram format? What format will I need to convert the file to and where can I do the conversion? Any advise is greatly appreciated!
