Code of potential use for mirror sites

The ucsc wiki can't set a cookie for your local mirror, so here's an example of LDAP authentication for local mirrors: Fubar:LDAP_auth

Gripes

Wiggle tracks need a bar graph option - points or joined points can be very misleading! Ah, bedGraph mentioned in ..kent/src/hg/makeDb/trackDb/README does the trick. It's an ordinary 9 column bed file with extra options including bars which are much more appropriate for (eg) -log10(p) values from an analysis eg. I am making custom tracks using (eg)

 
track bdrabpctmincov
priority 2.100
