Investigate UCSC External View not working

    Details

    • Type: Task
    • Status: Closed (View Workflow)

      Description

      Situation: The External View tab does not appear to be working for UCSC. Based on the following URL, it looks like UCSC is blocking programmatic access to the site:
      https://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgTracks?pix=800&db=hg19&position=chr1:6203693-6206373

      There is a FAQ on the UCSC website that says programmatic access can be restored with an API key:
      https://genome.ucsc.edu/FAQ/FAQdownloads.html#CAPTCHA

      Task: Email the UCSC team to determine if we can get an API key for IGB or if they can whitelist us. In the meantime, disable the external view tab.

            In the External View tab there is a settings button. Clicking on it and following the directions there to add a UCSC user id does work to enable the External View to work. My recommendation would be that we leave the External View tab enabled and add some additional documentation to the IGB users guide saying that it is now a requirement to add a UCSC user id.

            At Step 4 in the User's Guide documentation, I had to click a hyperlink that read, "Show as updateable table." in order to see an hguid field to copy. You'll need to add this step to the Release testing documentation, as well.

            After step 6, I had to click "update" again in order to get rid of the error in the External View tab.

            All else looks good! It's easy to follow and no obvious grammatical/spelling issues.

            Good catch!

            Documentation should be updated for user's guide and release documentation.
