Question:
"How do I construct a hyperlink to the Genome Browser from my software?"
Response:
Link to the Genome Browser using a URL of the form:
http://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgTracks?org=[org]&db=[db]&position=[position].
- org - specifies the genome in which you're interested (see
Displaying Your
Own Annotation in the Genome Browser for a list of acceptable
values).
This parameter defaults to the latest Genome
Browser assembly for that species.
- db - designates a specific assembly version.
For example, to refer to the July 2003 human release, you
would use db=hg16. The db parameter takes
precedence over the org parameter. For a list of
the db parameter values that correspond to UCSC
assemblies, see the list of UCSC releases.
- position - can be any search value valid for the
genome specified by org.
