      Description

      None of us is very familiar yet with the Track Hub specification.

      To gain better knowledge of it, we could write some code (e.g., a script) that given a Track Hub URL, produces an IGB Quickload file and folder structure from the Track Hub.

      When a user "opens" this folder in IGB, they should be able to then see files from the Track Hub displayed in the Available Data Sets section of IGB.

      This task will expose potential problems with mapping Track Hub specification aspects onto the IGB Quickload specification.

      If such a script existed, we could automate conversion of all available public Track Hubs.

      Request: Please add any new code to this repository: https://bitbucket.org/lorainelab/igbquickload

            Note that in the UCSC system, there appear to be two types of hubs: Track hubs and assembly hubs.
            Assembly hubs contain reference sequence data information. Track hubs contain data that are mapped onto the reference genomes specified by assembly hubs. ("Assembly" is another name for the collection of sequences that make up a reference genome version.)
            UCSC has a REST API (emits JSON format data) clients can use to get information about track hubs and assembly hubs. I think the converter can probably take advantage of this API in several ways, such as identifying the location of 2bit files needed by IGB to display reference genome sequence data.
            See: http://genome.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/help/api.html

            Dr. [~aloraine] - I compared all the trackdb.txt files and all the files have similar parameters ( track, long label, short label and type). So we can use either of the parameters as title.
            Currently, we have used track as title which would be fine.

            Below are the links for all trackdb.txt files.
