Users can now save their favorite Genome Browser sessions for reuse and sharing by using a new session management feature, accessible via the ‘Session’ link (http://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgSession) on the GBD home page and the blue navigation bar at the top of many of the tool web pages. Log-in access to the session features is controlled through the Genome Browser wiki site. Once logged in, the user can save the current Genome Browser session, including the exact position and track combination on display, share the session with another user or keep it private and load one's own saved sessions as well as those shared by others. Saved sessions persist for 1 year after the last access, unless deleted. Custom tracks within sessions persist for at least 48 h after the last time they are viewed.
