Note: The menu includes the complete list of available pre-defined genomes. If you select any of these genomes, a corresponding gene annotation track will also be loaded. The available pre-defined genomes are listed in the menu. Switching genomes will clear out any loaded tracks. Note: You must first load the reference genome, before loading data tracks. To load a different genome, click on the Genome dropdown menu and either select from the list of pre-defined genomes, or use one of the options to load a genome sequence file that you specify. When the IGV-Web page first loads, it will load the default reference genome hg19. IGV displays data mapped to the genomic coordinates of a reference genome. Also note that some options may not be available if cookies have been disabled in the web browser preferences. For example, loading tracks and genomes from files in Google Drive may pop up a login window. Note: Make sure that popups are not disabled in your web browser as some features rely on them. All IGV code is open source and available at Quick Start 1. ĭevelopers: IGV-Web is implemented using igv.js, our JavaScript component for embedding IGV in web pages. Links to all versions of IGV can be found at. IGV-Web is developed by the same team that develops the IGV desktop application.

The application runs only in the web browser and no data is ever uploaded to the host site.

Data can be loaded directly from a user’s local file system, or via URL from web servers and cloud providers. IGV-Web is a web application for exploring genomic datasets.
