#### Loading tracks from URL

Alternatively to loading a track from a local file, we can also load tracks from a URL. In this case, we will load [VISTA enchancers](https://enhancer.lbl.gov/vista/) that are availible for the Mouse genome on the [UCSC Genome Browser](https://genome.ucsc.edu/). The file uses bigBed format, which is used with hosted genome browsers liike the UCSC browser which allows the browser only load the relevant sections of genomes at a time and is less computaitonally intensive on a public genome browser. More information on bigBed can be found on the [UCSC page about bigBed](https://genome.ucsc.edu/goldenpath/help/bigBed.html). In order to load a file from a URL, left-click on <kbd>File</kbd> in the top-left and select <kbd>Load from File...</kbd>. Next, enter this URL into the URL blank:
