Probably the easiest way to display this kind of file would be to use one of the public genome servers which allows you to upload your own data.

Depending on the format and type of your data it sounds like you might have a wig or bed-graph format file. Either of these can be uploaded to the UCSC browser to allow you to view this data against an annotated genome.

If you want more details about how to format and upload your data then you can get these from:
