Sharing custom tracks

sessions vs. constructing URLs, with or without using big* tracks

Help me create a Custom Track

Is there a size limit for custom tracks?

FW: custom track 100 MB size limit? (resend after partial bounce)

How do I find non-protein-coding genes?

I have a list of identifiers, how do I find the coordinates?

physical positions of multiple genes

Format of chain, chainLink and net tables

Question on net format

How do I get a table of restriction enzymes?

Restriction enzyme track not on table browser?

Note that the utility findCutters is better than oligoMatch: oligoMatch has no good way of finding AsuI (G'GnC_C). It's possible but it would need to be run four times: GGACC, GGCCC, GGGCC, GGTCC and the output combined. findCutters does it all in one command.
