The bigWigs array only works with absolute URLs. For relative URLs or per-subtrack options like color and grouping, use subadapters instead.

The source field​

Each subtrack has a source identifier used as its label in the UI and carried on features as feature.source. When using bigWigs, source is auto-derived from the URL filename. When using subadapters, set it explicitly. name is an alias — source takes priority if both are set.

Since features carry feature.source, you can reference it in jexl color callbacks, e.g. jexl:feature.source=='k1'?'red':'blue'.

The subadapters slot also supports:

  • color - default subtrack color
  • group - grouping label for organizing subtracks

Example:

{
  "type": "MultiQuantitativeTrack",
  "trackId": "microarray_multi_groups",
  "name": "MultiWig (groups)",
  "category": ["ENCODE bigWigs"],
  "assemblyNames": ["hg19"],
  "adapter": {
    "type": "MultiWiggleAdapter",
    "subadapters": [
      {
        "type": "BigWigAdapter",
        "source": "k1",
        "color": "red",
        "uri": "https://www.encodeproject.org/files/ENCFF055ZII/@@download/ENCFF055ZII.bigWig",
        "group": "group1"
      },
      {
        "type": "BigWigAdapter",
        "source": "k2",
        "color": "blue",
        "uri": "https://www.encodeproject.org/files/ENCFF826HEW/@@download/ENCFF826HEW.bigWig",
        "group": "group2"
      }
    ]
