trackhub:
---------
Track hub for RefSeq Functional Element biological regions, features, regulatory interactions and 
recombination partners. The track hub can be viewed on a compatible genome browser, including the UCSC 
Genome Browser (all tracks), the NCBI Genome Data Viewer (select tracks only) or the Ensembl genome
browser (select tracks only), using the following URL: 
https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/refseq/FunctionalElements/trackhub/hub.txt 

See https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/refseq/FunctionalElements/trackhub/RefSeqFE_Hub.html for more details.
