In this video, we show you how to visualise your own data on the UCSC genome browser using “custom tracks”. We use the example of ChIP-seq files for big datasets. We explain file formats and show you the steps of how to upload your data via your own free web server space. We also show you how to create your own colourful genomic annotations so that you can generate attractive and professional scale presentations.

This tutorial on the UCSC Genome Browser is brought to you by Dr Adam West in the College of Medical Veterinary and Life Sciences at the University of Glasgow, Scotland. Look out for our other videos in this tutorial series that will help you get the most out of the UCSC Genome Browser.
