For browser for a new organism (not an update to an existing browser), at least these tracks must exist:

  • sequence
  • repeat masker
  • gold/gap assembly tracks
  • genbank RNA & EST (xenoRNA if native RefSeq is sparse)
  • BLAT/PCR servers
  • CPG Islands
  • Genscan

And here's a list of tracks for a "pretty good" browser (these are strongly recommended if it's going to be part of a multiple alignment):

  • all of the "minimal" tracks listed above
  • Transmap (mapping gene set from closest well-annotated organism)
  • ENSEMBL Genes (if available)
  • Human Proteins
  • Human chain/net (at least human, if not others)
  • 3-8-way multiple alignment
  • Self Chain track for "finished" assemblies (e.g. human, mouse, zebrafish)
