Add Custom BedGraph Track to UCSC Genome Browser

Previously, I made a post on adding custom tracks to the UCSC Genome Broswer and have even expanded on coloring these tracks.  For most of my applications, I have simply used standard .bed files that plot features of interest in the Genome Browser in relation to other UCSC tracks.  Today I wanted to plot data from overlapping features in a depth plot similar to what one would see after next-generation sequencing.  I found the easiest way to do this was by importaing a BedGraph file into the Genome Browser.  Following steps similar to the custom tracks post, you go to the My Data -> Custom Tracks -> Add Custom Tracks and then upload the BedGraph file.  Below is an example of what the header and the first few lines need to look like.

	track type=bedGraph name="Chr 20" description="Chr 20 Coverage" visibility=full color=200,100,0 altColor=0,100,200 priority=20
