NAME

       browse_import_ucsc_db - Creates a framework data source

DESCRIPTION

       This  creates  a  framework  data  source  for one of the genomes known to the UCSC Genome
       Browser. You can then modify the data source configuration file, add your own data, and so
       forth.  Provide the name of a UCSC genome build and optionally a description to display in
       GBrowse.

       To get started, find the desired  data  source  by  going  to  http://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-
       bin/hgGateway  and using the "clade" and "genome" menus to navigate to the desired species
       and build number. You will find the data source name in the blue box below the  navigation
       controls. Look for something like this:

        D. melanogaster Genome Browser – dm3 assembly (sequences)

       The data source name appears before the word "assembly", in this case "dm3".
