Configuring tracks

All tracks can contain:

• trackId - internal track ID, must be unique
• name - displayed track name
• assemblyNames - an array of assembly names a track is associated with, often just a single assemblyName
• category - (optional) array of categories to display in a hierarchical track selector

Example config.json containing a track config for a BigBed file:

{
  "assemblies": [
    ...the hg19 assembly...
  ],
  "tracks": [
    {
      "type": "FeatureTrack",
      "trackId": "repeats_hg19",
      "name": "Repeats",
      "assemblyNames": ["hg19"],
      "category": ["Annotation"],
      "adapter": {
        "type": "BigBedAdapter",
        "bigBedLocation": {
          "uri": "https://jbrowse.org/genomes/hg19/repeats.bb",
        }
      }
    }
  ]
}
