An Introduction to the Integrative Genomics Viewer (IGV)
To Know
About this Class
|
Join this upcoming webinar to learn how to use an NCI-funded tool to explore genomic data sets. Dr. James Robinson, a co-principal investigator at the Mesirov Lab in UC San Diego, will introduce you to the Integrative Genomics Viewers (IGV), a high-performance visualization tool with an emphasis on next generation sequencing (NGS) short and long read alignments. After a brief overview of the tool, you will learn how to: |
• download and install IGV.
• select and configure genome assemblies.
• load data from local files or remote sources.
• navigate through the genome.
• view alignment tracks to examine features such as single nucleotide and structural variants, RNA splicing, and base modifications.
• view variants from variant call format (VCF) files.
• load data from public repositories, including track hubs.
