Sometimes the UCSC Genome Browser at http://genome.ucsc.edu/ is pretty slow -- after all, it's a resource shared among the Eukaryotic genomics community. But there's also a second "Beta test" version of the browser at http://hgwdev.cse.ucsc.edu/. It has slightly newer (and possibly less stable) code, but fewer people use it. |

- Directly upload a data file, in one of the supported formats.
- Your data is copied over the Internet to UCSC, where it is stored in tables and displayed as you browse.
- Appropriate for small to medium size files (up to a few MB).
- Host your data locally, and configure the UCSC Genome Browser with its URL.
- Your data resides in a location accessible via an HTTP or FTP public URL (e.g., our /corral- corral.tacc.utexas.edu:/gpfs/corral3/repl/utexas/BioITeamBioinformaticsResource/web directory, that maps to http://).
- No data is copied to UCSC. You only tell the browser where to find the data when it is needed.
- Appropriate for large data sets (e.g. BAM files) that can be indexed for fast retrieval.
- Your data resides in a location accessible via an HTTP or FTP public URL (e.g., our /corral- corral.tacc.utexas.edu:/gpfs/corral3/repl/utexas/BioITeamBioinformaticsResource/web directory, that maps to http://).
