Track lists

To visualize several tracks together, they can be combined into a Track List (). Track lists can be created in different ways. One way is via the menu bar:

        File | New | Track List ()

Another way is to use the Track Tool Create Track List (). Finally, tracks can be created directly using the button labeled Create Track List that is found in the top right corner of the open track in the view area. Figure 24.3 shows an example of a track list including a track with mapped reads at the top, followed by a variant detection track, and in the lower part of the figure, the reference sequence with CDS annotations.
