General Function Checklist

Check IGB file types 

Note: Certain file types created in Galaxy can be opened in IGB by clicking the display in IGB link. Check file types by looking at Galaxy source code. 

  1. Go to https://github.com/galaxyproject/galaxy
  2. Identify and select the current release branch of Galaxy. For example, 18.05 was the current branch in May 2018. 
  3. Navigate the source code directories. Go to display_applications/configs/igb
  4. View list of XML files. Each XML file corresponds to a file type IGB can load from Galaxy. For example, bb.xml lets IGB load bigbed format files.
  5. Check that all file types are listed below. (Note that this list may get out of date as we add support for more file types to Galaxy.)

Open file types

  2. Click Data > Histories.
  3. Click Public Histories.
