No link for UCSC to visualise datasets

Hi @Maximilian_Haeussler

So, for this part:

@Maximilian_Haeussler

The db-key that we send to Galaxy will be something like hub_, unless we are able to change that. The problem is that the hub is server specific, for genome-euro, genome and genome-asia. So I think we will suggest that you remove this part and keep only the Genbank-id or we do this on our end.

That was automatically assigned by the Table Browser. So whatever you decide to send over as the “dbkey”, is what Galaxy would also populate. We don’t have a mechanism for mapping/changing external IDs. The return direction is always the same value. But users can create custom database/dbkeys. They just need a way to learn what those are, which is usually by fetching data from the TB or checking the Downloads area… which loop back around

I opened a ticket for the issue where we can discuss more. This is at the IDC repository instead since this seems more like a data issue that a link issue. Cross-link between Galaxy and UCSC for additional hub genomes · Issue #47 · galaxyproject/idc · GitHub

Thanks!
