Authors: Paige Kulzer avatar Paige KulzerAdd Contributions!

You can open some file types in Integrated Genome Browser (IGB), a desktop genome browser. (Supported File Types)

Here’s how:

  1. Install IGB on your computer (download page).
  2. Start IGB.
  3. In Galaxy, click the desired dataset’s name to expand it.
    • Check that the reference genome (dbkey) is set (instructions).
  4. Click on the Charts icon
  5. In the central panel, next to display in IGB, choose View.

When you choose “View” in Galaxy, your browser opens a new tab showing a page from BioViz.org. Check the newly opened page for next steps.
